The girls are 15 and 11 and very helpful, it's good now all the children are a bit older (my boys are 17 & 13).

J - time management - I'm using that!

Thanks everyone - you are the best medicine

I think the children are being brilliant - at those ages sometimes they are not co-operative, well done to them.  Serious pain like this fries the brain love.  Once when i was feeling particularly off, I did some tapestry I had a chart and a pre printed canvass, with the colours on, but i spent all afternoon working this beautiful tree, to find out the following day I had infact done the green in wonderful tones of brown, I was sure I had got it right, lets just say that is in the drawer waiting for me to unpick it, will be an antique by the time i get round to it smiley: rollsmiley: roll.

At least with a family of that age you will have plenty of chatter to keep you company.  Hope you are up to doing something soon, most frustrating..
