    Hi Guys,

    Just caught up, too tired to post last night. Very short staffed at work and I am soooooo busy and feeling pretty down. My friends Dad has passed away and it is so sad. I have been in a very reflective mood today and have been reviewing my life in general.

    Also a little worried as I had booked half a day off work tomorrow to go to the hospital with Mr Budgie but now I have to work, (can't be helped but still feel bad about letting him down).

    I did feel for the first time that I could have drank a glass of wine tonight, but I projected past the first glass to the end of a bottle. So I have stayed strong and instead I bought a card making kit. So Ms Honey Bear please put me down for 13 af days, hugs and I hope the mice are now getting sorted. Take care (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    So pootling off now as not much company, but hugs to 40sm (()) and Dear Fay(()) Graeme glad you joining us matey (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hugs to you all, stay strong and keep safe
    Budgie (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Cherish the ones you love and travel back on the road that brings you home :)

  • Hi everyone - can you put me down for 13 now please HB (glad your problem has been sorted out now). Was out at keep fit class last night, that's why I didn't check in. Feel SO much better being alcohol free - it's so lovely waking up in the morning and feeling fine. Bye for now xx
