    Terrible news about your hairdresser Beanie, certainly makes you stop and think about what is important.

    Yup Beanie - unexpected events make us focus on whats important in life - its very sad about your hairdresser.

    Don't do too much and having time to rest is allowed - infact its more than allowed it vital - little and often gets the job done often much faster than trying to tackle it all at once an then being too exhausted to do anything for ages.

    Be kind to yourself - imagine the advice you would give to others - and give it to yourself xx

    That's awful about your hairdresser. Unfortunately death has no respect for age. What a shock for everyone close to her.

    Boo to the toothache.

    Good luck with the board meeting.
