    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.

    Hang in there...as a woman in wor says "this too shall pass" and I think its good...the bad spell wont go on for ever :) I do notice from your list that there is no fun/chill time in there for you...I know that you said you spent yesterday in bed but assume thats because you couldnt face things? PLEASE plan in some you time to relax ...everyone has their limits and esp with long haul debt busting its important to pace yourself to avoid burnout...another big hug for you...

    I agree with ISOM, everyone needs some 'me' time.
  • Cant quite believe it myself but I have actually lost my appetite! Never happens always eat more. Couldnt understand why I felt ill yesterday afternoon until I realised I had barely eaten anything or had a drink. Feeling a bit more upbeat today. Spending a bit of time on here in between tasks.

    Thank you for your support I really appreciate it.

    So far kids bathed, washing up done, MIL (Nanny) phoned to warn of our impending invasion, lemon cake in oven and twink hob nobs next. Not going to have time for lava cakes so hobnobs a yummy alternative.

    I'm in need of an injection of enthusiasm today, all I've done is clear the ironing, wash the dishes and pack a few e-bay parcels. I even done 5 minutes on my exercise bike, don't sound a lot but it's a start! Going to mums for lunch today so will hopefully get a little done this afternoon. Not a lot to do, just a general tidy up. I don't know whether I'm coming down with something but I'm really cold. Can't seem to warm up.
