  • Three kids, two jobs and a leaky roof had her run ragged by the middle of the week.
  • The new puppy runs us ragged all morning and then sleeps like a log the second we sit down.
  • That double shift and my mum blowing up my phone have run me ragged, I need a night with absolutely nobody needing anything from me.
  • We took the kids to two birthday parties, football, then Tesco, and by six o'clock we were run ragged and living off crisps and bad decisions.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
