I have been slogging my guts out all day cleaning/cooking/wrapping as have to go to my family Christmas tomorrow today actually whoops and friends are coming to stay as soon as I get back. I work full time and am just starting my holiday and have two kids. I have literally been on my knees scrubbing most of today and yesterday (the house had totally got out of control.
I have recently had a tooth out following an abscess (and horrendous toothache) and had proper flu for the first time in my life.
My friend who I loved and saw as a Mother figure (I live quite far from my Mum) - we called each other Mum and daughter jokingly and worked very closely together - died very suddenly a couple of weeks ago.
Today I went into the under sink cupboard to get some cleaning stuff and was down on my knees and felt a hand on my back, in a reassuring way. I liked it so didn't move for about 20 seconds. I knew when I turned round there would be no-one there. There wasn't. EEK.
Am I going a little mad?
