I tried quite a few different tablets before I found one that worked but when it did work it made a huge difference. There are times when I'm better or worse than others but it takes the edge off. I would give it another go... Failing that perhaps try St Johns Wort, Kalms etc and see if they helpAchieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

I don't think I can take St Johns Wort as I know it interacts with the pill, so I don't want to risk it with the implant. I think I've got some Kalms somewhere, will have a look - thank you for the prompt!
I am going to make an effort with my book, and if things haven't brightened in a month or two once the weather improves, I will go back again."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Well I've had a pretty good weekend mood-wise. I finished a big high-pressure task on Thursday which meant on Friday I could catch up on a few things at work - I think that's made a bit of a difference. I've made sure I've not looked at my work emails this weekend as well. Trying to ensure I'm fully switched off.
Little miss and I went into town yesterday for a wander whilst little jwil and DH went to a birthday party. It was nice just to mooch about, we went to the library and picked her gift for little jwil's birthday.
I've done a bit of decluttering and a bit of tidying. A few listings for DH. The sun came out for a few minutes yesterday and today which was lovely to see.
I'm just about to start on a new book I got for my birthday - Susan Calman's 'Sunny side up' - it looks like it will be good. I really like her as well, and enjoyed her series Secret Scotland too.
Hope everyone is well"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee9 -

Just enjoyed some pancakes! My healthy eating has gone completely out of the window. Why can't I focus!
Work is busy but I'm managing to achieve stuff at the moment, so that's good. It's helpful doing the extra hours this week with DH being home.
I just read 'When Hitler stole pink rabbit' by Judith Kerr. I spotted it in the library the other day and whilst I recognise it, I hadn't ever read it. I loved it and will look for the other two now.
DH has prepped a lot of stuff to ebay so hopefully we'll see some more stuff leaving soon.
