  • Lost

    I feel like I got totally lost with everything this week.  Emily was off sick on Monday so I didn’t get to 5 ways.  It was quite nice to have a quiet day with Emily, but shame she had to be ill to get that.  She is still coughing, but feels ok.  I now have…

  • Busy week and beginning of Christmas!

    It’s been a busy week with half term.  I am very tired and have a very stiff neck. and rather dizzy.  On my own for a bit today as Rob and Emily have gone to a birthday party.  I have to wait in for a charity collection coming to collect some of the stuff from…

  • Positives end of week 3

    Three weeks of looking for positives, surprised I kept going.  Many of the day I think nothing positive happened today, but if I think a bit something usually springs to mind. So for yesterday my positives were not waking up till 8.15am!  I am usually awake by 6.  Getting some jobs done, well supervising Rob…

  • Mixed feelings, still busy and still exhausted pt1

    I am sitting here not sure what to do, I am tired and dizzy, but can’t do nothing as restless too.  It continues to be a busy time and is difficult to manage everything and the ME.  It makes me feel a bit of a fraud sometimes as there is so much to do and…

  • Meet Vikki

    What is your craft? Sewing, knitting and making cakes How did you get started and when? I made my own clothes as a teenager and picked it up again a few years ago when I was given a sewing machine for Christmas. Summer dresses for the girls feature quite strongly. The cakes started when the…

  • Never knew wrapping could be so exhausting!

    In my effort to help I went into school today to help the PTA with the kids choosing and wrapping presents.  Even though I spent much of the time sitting and no real effort was required it has left me exhausted, I feel sick, dizzy and shaky and am in pain.  I hate this stupid…

  • Unsettled by Wind and Hospital Food Programme (no connection between the two!)

    So much for wanting to rest, I am very unsettled and unable to rest. There are several reasons for this I am over tired and the weather which is very windy is very unsettling when things are blowing about all over the place and I am on my own in the house wondering if other…

  • Waste not, want not!

    I hate to throw food away so try to find ways to use things up this usually does not work very well and I should have learned by now, but never do.  We had a butternut squash that needed using so decided to make chutney, one we had made before that was really nice.  As…
