Hi
sorry its taken me so long to reply, work has been full on. thank you so much for the replies
Cookie, I know exactly what you mean. I work from 7am to 5pm (from home) except Weds, when I start at 8.30am so that I can go and get the shopping for me, and my Mum who lives nearby. I try to get out for a jog/walk at lunchtime, but it doesn't always happen. It only takes one thing to skittle my day... like my Mum asking me to go to the post office for her, or one of my kids asking for a favour. I did have a cleaner, but now with COVID, I don't have her. I try to do my housework in one evening, but sometimes I'm just too tired!
I work in male dominated industry, and nearly everyone is tons younger than me.
Taz -- I am 58 and about 4 years post meno. I'm currently on the Oestrogel/Utro regime. It has helped, but I wouldn't say it is the panacea I had hoped for. My kids don't live with me, but I spend quite a bit of time looking after my mum. when I say looking after, she is still independent, but I do go round a fair bit to check up on her, and as I mentioned I do her shopping, wipe it all down. I also go and cook for her twice a week.
