- Banked business monies

Good morning fairyclicks,
I am sending you a virtual bunch of flowers as a BIG thank you and to put a smile on your face:D:D
I can't tell you how grateful I am that you started this thread. I have really been struggling since my darling Dad died of cancer two years ago. Anyway to cut a long story short, I am suffering from the worst bout of depression I have ever experienced and this forum is helping me to cope :dance:
I need to get back to my old self and just setting down 10 positives/targets has been such a boost for me.
So whatever all the lovely contributors to this thread wish to achieve today - good luck :T"One hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much was in my bank account, nor what my clothes looked like but the world may be a little bit better because I was important in the life of a child."0 -
