Sounds like you need a new and more social hobby. Choir? Knitting group? Dance class? Book group. You also need radio 4 rather than inane tv and a night out with the girls. Where are you now? Chin up chuck Eleanor xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support and encouragement! I'm in my last days in Brussels, I'll be moving to the UK over the weekend and will be staying with my mother for a few days so will have much less scope for wallowing.
