    Here's another one who has to keep asking what day of the week it is, and then being taken aback by the answer !!

    However, on Sunday I have a bath (showers other days in case you get the wrong idea), and read my Kindle. So it must be the real Sunday today, unless I've fitted in an extra bath !!!

    We did some more work until mid afternoon and then went to a NT place to look at the Christmas decorations in the house and walk in the gardens after dark, which were all lit up with coloured lights.

    It was really lovely. DH and I went with DS1, and DS2 actually came with us which delighted me :).We got in for free with our membership cards (DS2 paid for himself) and took coffee in our travel cups, so the whole outing cost us nothing :money:. We enjoyed it so much that we want to go again next year. I thought how much my mum would have loved it and wished I'd been with her in previous years. I don't know why we've never thought of going before.

    I feel better since having a normal Saturday and a nice day today, but I'm worried that I'll feel upset again tomorrow :(. Anyway I just need to get though tomorrow and possibly new year's day and then I can start to get back to normal and hopefully feel on a more even keel.

    It was a good idea to go to the NT as this will be a new tradition.
    Glad you feel better today.
    I think once the NY gets underway you will feel on more of even keel. I hope so anyway :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
