    Forgot to say re the crying (sorry I am about to sound like Ted). At this time of year our bodies reserves of sunlight produced vitamins are hitting there lowest level - we can all suffer with SAD to some extent. Flyladies when it is sunny get out in that sun it will start to make you feel better.

    If that fails hit the wine or ADs.
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair

    Morning you bunch of nutters, thought I had come across a thread for the SAS, with all this talk of secret squirrel costumes and webcams:rotfl: .

    Funeral went as well as they can yesterday. DD2 was fine, DD1 got upset when she saw Daddy crying but on the whole I think she was pleased she got to say goodbye.

    This morning I have generally been picking up the !!!! and moving it from one room to another, have hoovered through too. Not gonna beat myself up about it today thought, doesnt seem so important.

    Plan for rest of day:-

    Get dressed:o
    Get littles dresssed
    Pack swimming stuff
    Early lunch
    Off to swimming via PO to post parcels (that will cheer the chap behind the counter up;) )
    Swimming
    Shopping on way home
    HHI

    Littles been playing lovely, we did some jigsaws and colouring in they then took themselves off dancing. Think they are getting fed up of each other now.

    JillD - Lots of positive ideas there and am sure they will help. Could well be hormonal. I always thought TOM would get better after having babies but I am far worse than I ever used to be (if anyone has any cures please let me know!) I feel a bit like the hulk only its "you wouldnt like me when I'm pre-menstral".

    Must dash they are now arguing over whos colouring book is whos.

    Yeah - just got gas and electric bills - we are £76 in credit!!!

    Ooooh I do love this working from home lark. It means that when something goes horribly wrong (like it did about an hour ago) I can do some flying whilst waiting for the boys back at the office to sort things out.
