Lovely to hear from you again, GP. Don't feel pressured to post, though, until you feel you have RL under some semblance of control.

Good Morning Lovely People
:hello:
Golly, you all are so kind
Yes, RL is beginning to sort itself out, so I'm hopeful that I can say 'I'm back' - and more importantly - stay back, coz I like it here
:D
The one thing that I really wasn't looking forward to has been completed. Took about 2hrs of my life and I have to say, I derived great strength from someone that I had not met before, being with me. Still, the task is now done, and as I have probably spent more time stressing about getting it done, than the time it actually took to get done, my blood pressure can probably return to normal now!
All other issues are in the process of being rectified - so hopefully we can move on.............
satchmo - THANK YOU - I tried your 'milk de-frosting' trick on the weekend - it worked so well :j The milk defrosted quicker and it didn't re-freeze in the fridge :j That's a keeper of a tip that is - THANK YOU again
brizzle - not only do we have vinyl and a jukebox on this thread but now you are starting up karaoke????? :rotfl: I love it:D So lovely to *see* you - especially on such a wonderful day for you.
Everyone else should know brizzle became debt-free yesterday :j:j:T:T

See y'all in a bit.

:kisses3:Oh my word! I'm glad your blood pressure came down!
I'm very glad you're able to come back - take your time, though, its not as if you've been on holiday, even though you *are* so relieved2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
You're back, that's wonderful, and yaay for getting 'it' sorted out, I have missed you, and so has everyone else. Hope that RL stays out of the way on a back burner. (when I first read the term 'RL' I thought it stood for ......rugby league..... and it used to baffle me when folks said they were having difficulty with it, or that it was getting in the way. Thick or what?)
Well after a glorious day yesterday the rain is back, so its greenhouse and mucky house today.0 -

Welcome back lovely Greying. If I disappear, it's because I have a situation arising, although mine has been hanging around for about four years and threatens to go critical about every six months. Looking forward to the food. I've mostly been on apples, bananas, raw broccoli and watercress since you left.My mission in life is not only to survive,but to thrive and to do so with some Passion, some Compassion, some Humour and some Style.NST SEP No 1 No Debt No mortgage0
