    Fingers crossed! Don't worry Cherry there isn't much cleaning going on. Just bits to make it feel clean again :o .

    There's something cheering about the smell of cleaning things! I have just done a superficial clean of the kitchen so it doesn't overwhelm me: not sure how one small grop of adults can make so much mess!

    Are you living from appointment to appointment? I know it's hard but try to have a focal point beyond them, maybe taking the children on holiday or the next nice day when you can see spring flowers, whatever works for you. When you're ill it's hard to know these things still exist because they aren't visible from where we are, but they do and they'll come round again for you.

    Anyway I'm glad you're not only on your feet again but also not cleaning too much. :)

    Oh no jwil! I'm sorry to hear this. Are thy trying to pick off the diaries one by one? I noticed that spam button has gone again - perhaps the plan is to make that happen so that spammers can have free rein?

    This is a fantastic resource and we can't let 'them' stop it: so those who can, back up your diary.

    Thanks for popping in.

    I am trying to think of the end goal. But I'm finding it hard to even think an hour ahead. I'm just struggling with 'stuff'

    Decisions need to be made and Im just not in the right mind to even think never mind decide.

    I wont keep moaning about it here though. Sorry.

    Morning,

    What a rubbish morning. Just going to potter about and clean I think.

    Council tax seem to have sent the arrears back over to enforcement even though I haven't broken the agreement. :cool: Joyful. More stress and worry.

    Really fed up of everything :o as you can probably tell.

    The council tax people can be complete ars*s at times :mad: but hopefully a phone call will sort it out.

    I wish it was my first priority. Although I think feeling less than okay is something I need to get use too for the next few months at least. Which alone makes me fed up.

    Chuck on top the other issues and meh! I just don't want to.

    I don't want to moan and feel sorry for myself or come across that way. I do wish I could just escape though.
