ed you can do this - so the kids stuff is sorted - that leaves not much left to do.....you can do it - but you must break it down into one job at a time - do one job, go away and do something else, or do 2 jobs but dont do it until you feel overwhelmed - just pick on job (like getting the cases) then all you have to do it dump stuff in them. do it just a little bit at a time.
it will be worth it - you will have a lovely time and a change is as good as a rest.
and so what if something doesnt get done? the worlds not gonna end if you forget something. it will be fine. you will get there and relax, so just do whatever you can manage when ever you can manage it - if it makes you feel better do a list - if that feels too overwhelming then dont....just jot down key words maybe that are the most important things, like undies, etc...
please dont stress. just one little job then stop. or do whatever makes you feel ok - i usually dump the open cases where ever is most convenient then just count piles of clothes and undies into them - then i just go around gathering stuff up as i see it, dump it in the lid and sort it later....just pick stuff up as you see it.
maybe just have a checklist for before you leave the house....
you can do it ed You will be fine.
and whats the worst that can happen eh?
helles yes thanks RI was in a much better frame of mind today - its not the kiddie lessons that bother her - but sometimes having an influx of children all trying to "help" at the yard is difficult - she does really well and she encourages the kids to get involved but it can feel like trying to push treacle uphill trying to control them all!
there was just me there today so peace reigned....
and for my lesson i rode a huge 16+ HH boy and was off the lunge. progress.!
im trying not to think about what happens when this all stops and i have to go back to bloody work....
i did get an acknowledgement from the NHS one i applied for though which is good.
