Thanks Sotto and Rose. I've stocked up the fridge and cupboards today with lots of food because I realise that I can't support my D or myself if I am sickly and H definitely wouldn't want to be around me like this! Since H left my food shopping has been very minimal and only enough to make sure D is fed and watered adequately. I used to love cooking and cooked from scratch as much as i could. We had a few really good recipes to use during the week but now I can't face to make them anymore so I need to look for some new ones.

I'm hoping the holiday thing will sort itself out by next summer at which point I am hoping I would have moved forward enough to feel confident in whatever I do. I like the idea of an adventure holiday Rose!

I like the idea if the charity shops Sotto, I might have a look on eBay as well although I'm not very patient with eBay!

Had a good workout today and saw a yoga class at my gym which runs every Wednesday. Hoping it might help with my anxiety so I think I'll have a go.

Now going to do my taxi driver job and run D and her friend to the local ice-cream parlour. Wish I was 15 again!
