    Not much to report here really. It's a tight month again this month. I must look at finding some stuff to ebay

    We've all got the dentist tomorrow, hoping that is just a check up fee for me

    I found a series of low impact HIIT videos on prime so I've started doing those to get some toning done. They are only 10-15 minutes, so I've got no excuse!

    I'm sleeping terribly at the moment :( That's the one thing that was really nice when I was on the previous lot of meds. I slept so well with them.

    Wow you did amazingly well on the cleaning front and some impressive de-cluttering totals too :T.

    It's horrible when you can't sleep, sometimes your mind just won't let you switch off. Or is it more physical symptoms? I expect you've tried all the usual things like a hot bath before bed, reading a book before bed, writing down your worries, avoiding caffeine in the evening, etc?

    I slept better last night thankfully. I'm not really sure what it is! I just wake up in the middle of the night wide awake and struggle to get back to sleep.
