Fighting SAD

I've done so well this year. I've dodged my SAD for a good while when you compare against the years when I started to slide as early as Sept & Oct. I'm tired though which isn't helping. The kids are ill (Tom has chicken pox, and we've got thread worm. The joys of school & nursery) which means we aren't getting much sleep.
The waking nightmares started last week, where I see flashes of awful things happening to the kids/hubby/all of us. It's horrific and leaves me cold & trembling. Last night - well this morning after a very rough night - hubby took a very wakey baby downstairs so I could get an hour or twos sleep. Instead I tossed and turned for half an hour, then had a nightmare that my family fell apart and was destroyed. If you know me at all you'll know my family is my whole world so dreams like that shake me up badly.
More than an hour later I'm still unsettled. I think I need a few more hours in the sunlight for the next few days, so it'll be wrapping up warm & walking LOTS!

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
