I just thought I would post an quick update
While I am still trying to take a break, I'm only really replying to store related questions currently when they are brought to my attention. I know there are several threads which need my attention but I just do not have time to read them all or reply to them currently, sorry!. If I spend all day replying to them all, it kind of defeats the object of trying to take a break . I started back work about a week ago which is sucking up a lot of my time as well. I'm still trying to sort out store stock in the background but my hands are still killing me at the moment. I can just about do a few corrections while using voice recognition but that is by itself difficult to do currently. A couple weeks ago I could not even hold my cutlery without dropping it
I am doing a few other projects in the background but I have to try and limit my "PC time" as much as possible currently. I will try and reply to a couple of posts each week but that is all I can really do currently.
Taking a break.

Don't push it Chris. Even if your store would be stopped at one point, it's not end of the world. Your health has top priority.

Re: Taking a break.
Indeed, my girlfriend runs my store. So I doubt it would come to closing shop.
I've taken today and tomorrow off, gone to my girlfriends flat and just watch TV and torment her cat etc.
I really want to get the server move done, but need a good week of sleep as no doubt something will break. So much to get done and frustrating when I'm limited to using a old android 4 tablet. At least it gets me on the forum and I can reply to some posts as a touchscreen is more forgiving than a keyboard.
Girlfriend is doing surveys and she got some samples of some odd powder . Supposed to increase your "well being" and reduce stress etc. She gave the samples to me and I took one yesterday. Geese ! Mostly I was feeling faint all day, which may or may not have been related. My heart rate is messed up now and I couldn't sleep last night as kept waking up due to major nightmares. I went to be at about 1am and got up at 4am. I've no idea what was in that sample, but its had the opposite effect to what was advertised !
So back to basics tonight. Shot of vodka and sleeping tablets., so let's try again
