Thanks welshy - I don't do much rushing about nowadays. Perhaps that's the trouble. I have decided on a new routine, if I can keep it up.
1. get up as usual, make the bed, have a shower, breakfast, pills etc.
2. Instead of slumping in front of tv, get the dvd chair exercises out and do them conscientiously - thant's an hour gone.
3. Think of other ways to fill the day, such as housework - but not too strenuous.
4. Also I used to spend time using moisturiser so I am going back to that My husband always said I took longer to get myself ready to go out than anyone else he knew. I have neglected that part of my routine since he died but have decided to start again.At least my skin will be reasonable, if not perfect.
