    Today I am feeling a bit meh. My friend's mum has just lost her battle to cancer. She didn't get to say goodbye. It sort of puts things into perspective for me - I may not be rich, but I have my family and I am grateful that I see them regularly. :(

    Have just heard my grandmother passed away last night :( I knew she was very ill and so it is in a way a welcome piece of news but it is still terribly sad. I have broken the detox for the day so we can raise a glass of wine to grandma with our dinner (she loved a drink :) )

    Sorry to hear that :( May she rest peacefully xxx

    Oh sorry to hear this too tylersbabe and hugs for you too. It is not easy and I worry for some people in my family that will take it very badly. At least they are at peace now, I will raise a glass for all our losses.
