  • Ahhhhh thanks - you've both just reminded me (as many on here frequently do :o) why it's really worth coming on & posting:)

    Just having someone say a few words .... and ... be nice IYKWIM .... makes such a HUGE difference (especially when you're on your own)

    Thank you xx

    Hello rising :wave:

    I'm not around as much as I was, work issues atm, but spotted your post and wanted to send you a mahoosive (((hug)))

    It can't be much fun being you at the moment, you've had a pretty crap year with one thing and another. It's good that you're still finding positives though, every cloud, and all that...

    Hope Maisie's on the mend soon and you take care of yourself. Your money situation might be a lot worse than you'd like it to be but your health is improving, slowly but surely, and once that's back everything else will start falling into place again.

    Take care hun, you'll get there.

    Hi Risin

    Hope you start to feel better soon. I suggest getting yourself snuggled up with a blanket, snacks and today's Belgium grand prix:).

    Take care xx

    Ahhhhh you know me so well!:o

    Still in PJs, have a lovely warm fleece over my knee & a bowl of porridge!

    (and the F1 of course!)


    I will have to venture out shortly to give Maisie a short walk -thinking of going to the small beach as we've not been for ages (not really long enough for a full walk usually) as it should be about OK for her - she's still really droopy / sleepy but I guess that's probably part the infection and part the drugs......

  • Oh lordy .... I will apologise first as all I ever seem to write about is doom and gloom - hopefully I'll get it all out the way this year and next year can start afresh!

    This last week has ..... been one of the worst ever

    Archie & Mia had another massive fight last Sun night - only 2 weeks since the last one.

    It was bad - don't even want to remember it but .... it was horrible (I actually threw up afterwards) :(

    Can't say much else just now .... but ..... have had to make an absolutely heartbreaking decision

    Can't see what else to do .... we can't go on like this ... not fair on any of them :( To say I'm devastated is - well .... there's really not a word that covers it.

    Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
