Hello all, the me in the main tittle wasn't meant as a pun!!! Am feeling a lot better now and coming out of my latest bout of M.E. enough to function quite well and get up to all sorts. (Not telling you everything!)

I am posting my revised chapters, hope those of you who have read them before will have another look and give me feedback, I have treid to address everything you advised me about.

Good to be back, thanks everyone who sent me messages. Off to browse now to see what you have all been getting up to. Has there been any juicy debates? Love all x

Welcome back Mary. I understand what a miserable condition ME is. I also suffer from a debilitating condition that meant I had to give up work. I have been able to concentrate on writing which is my escape route from everything. Keep well and writing.

Thanks, lovely to be back. RobertB, take care love, I used to think I was an 'had that' person, but then went through a lot of stress and found myself back to square one. Thanks Linda, and Esta, hope to be joining in threads more and more as I keep progressing. Looking forward to reviewing again, I love that aspect of the site and learn so much from it. Not only from comments on my own work, but by what I see isn't working in other peoples work and the realisation that I have done the same thing. Take care.

I do take care, believe me. I had it in 1996, and never got 100% fit again. I manage the allotment, but I'm a bit limited as to what I can do, and I've got a lot of stress right now. Hefting bee boxes tends to finish me for the day. Any time I'm under the weather, I tend to flop after eating, and that really worries me sometimes.

I know, well, not about humping Bee Boxes around, but certainly about the flopping. It's all about pacing yourself. Somedays you feel full of energy, but if you rush around doing all those chores you've wanted to do for ages, you flop. You have to take your time and use the energy up in little portions. Gently does it. I'm probably teaching my granny to suck eggs here, but you know what I mean. The trouble is when we get stressed we can't make any energy at all and burn ourselves out. So get the stress sorted, I have now and my health is improving. Will always have to take it steady, but that's ok. Best wishes, keep writing. Mary]

I'll keep writing no matter what, don't worry about that. Things will sort themselves out otherwise, I hope. I know when to stop and take a rest, but it's infuriating having to do it.
