Dear Georgie,
That is really really really helpful. I am not worried about the actual zapping - I'm more than happy to take my clothes off in front of anyone and have no problem being prodded and poked. (In fact, if I really want my kids to go to bed I just start undressing in front of them - works like a charm every time!).

I have already got everyone on notice that the cooking/laundry thing is going to come to a screaming halt. I have 3 theoretical adults at home (16, 20 and 23) as well as a gorgeous hubby, so I've just decided that stuff can be their problem until I feel up to it again. (Who knows, I may choose never to feel up to it again!).
Trying to keep my brave face on today, cheers, Esther
