Catherine....STOP Girl You are going to explode if you don't stop. The world is not going to stop turning if you forget something off that list. So you can make another cup of coffee, sit down and make a list according to priority. You can phone the dentist, garage, Gas Board etc whilst drinking your coffee. and if some of them don't get sorted today so what..look at the line under my signature. The real thing is you are so busy trying to keep the train running smoothly that you forget to stop at the signals. This is an amber warning...if you don't slow down you'll be ill. Your life must take priority sometimes and the more you try to keep everything perfect for Mum, the more out of control you are getting. Seriously, if the car doesn't get MOT'd this week, it'll get done next week. just make a list and tick things off one at a time. Oh and repeat after me...I am not Superwoman. You're not mad, just drowning. Love Maureen.x.
