Evening all, - I've been out to Yoga this morning (the teacher thought up some incredibly hard postures and now I ache), and art club this afternoon.
Gig, well done for getting your new jeans and lippy on and going out. You will feel as if you've been hit by a truck emotionally, - and I echo what topsy says - ask for something from the GP if you think it would help. I think the trip to France is a really good idea, - it will help you to get away and have some time to get your head round things.
I'm all for whatever helps when it comes to emotions and mental stress, woo is good in my book if it works for you. My yoga teacher made me a Yoga Nidra CD for when I was having problems sleeping - it is a total body relaxation, - it goes through every part of your body, helping you relax each muscle and I find it really good, - if you think it might help, PM me your address and I'll send it to you 
Bank holiday plans sound good, enjoy your trip to Bournemouth Sometimes, - hope you get decent weather, - I often used to swim on Bournemouth beach as a teenager, and there used to be an ice skating rink in the town - but it was years ago, so may have disappeared now.
We're going to see DS and DDIL, - I plan to drive there and back - which will be an 80 mile round trip - so wish me luck!
Waving to everyone and sending love. DH is making some rock cakes for a coffee morning at his work tomorrow, so I'll put a load few for the trolley when they are done.
