Hey Libra - well done!!

I reckon comping is the best distraction therapy I have ever found - and that's coming from a fisherman of over forty years!!
It takes your mind off itself, it gives you nice thoughts and dreams and in here - a wonderful, supportive community!
I still find it funny that I don't get jealous of others wins (cos I sure get jealous of other peoples fish!!)
...and then when I read a post about a win like yours I am sooooo happy for you!! Someone I have never met, who is going through a hard time who has just had something good happen to them - and they are instantly going to give it to someone else!! - that to me is the very essence of this forum and comping in general.
I wish you and your mum all the very best and hope she loves whatever she chooses.

:smileyhea Thank you to all that post comps - may the Comping Fairy return your time and generosity doubled!:smileyheaLaughing at our own mistakes can lengthen our own life. Laughing at someone else’s can shorten it.
Pronoia - the wonderful feeling that everyone is conspiring to help you!!
