You are all right that extras have been added on over time. FIL no longer drives (too frail, poor vision) and DH unable to drive for a few more weeks following surgery. The gym is a fairly bespoke one with very small groups but session times are changed along with youngest DD work days changed beyond her control. She works 4 long days in NHS, pays 3 days childminder but due to rota I have DGC 2 long days pw plus other DGC one late night and alternate Saturdays when she can't buy childcare. This means i can only make 1 gym session a fortnight instead of the 3-4 a week I have paid for. Today I will be collecting FIL and his washing, wash dry and fold his laundry whilst he visits DH then take him back . His groceries are arriving with mine so I can take him, laundry and groceries to his house in 1 journey. I can't see a way out of it all. I could pay the childminder an extra day but I like having the DGC and I would still have 1 late evening, after work - feed and bath DGC - and that alternate Saturday. Perhaps I'll feel better when medication sorted but exercise was doing an alright job of that. On a positive note, my sons put the external Christmas lights up yesterday and carried my treadmill downstairs so hopefully I can do a few miles on that today.
