OS Singlies - We Do It Our Way!

Evening all

Just a quick post from me to say hi and let you know I'm around. Still behind on some of the posts

I wanted to let you know what I have decided re: the hen do...... I'm not going. All of the comments that you gave were very helpful in helping me reach a decision and I wanted to say thanks again. Also particular thanks to LB who suggested buying a bottle of bubbly for the hen. I took your advice and bought a nice bottle of champers for her. She understands why I have decided not to go and was surprised but chuffed with the gift. There is no awkwardness and all is good. I never would have thought of doing that and I'm very grateful.

I think confidence is on a spectrum, I can be confident when I feel that I am on a sure footing, know what I'm talking about for instance...it can be reduced if I feel unwell or stressed or a stray comment from someone knocks me. It can be up or down when in a group of strangers or friends...or I am in an unfamiliar place...or I can blag it with the best of them...

:T that totally sums up how I feel about confidence.

I can easily take things to heart too. Used to be able to shrug them off more easily but find it more difficult these days. And I thought things were supposed to get easier with age :cool:

ETA - great sentiment in your piccy post Byatt

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

BW Glad that you have finally come to a decision regarding the hen party and that the bottle of bubbly was well received by the hen.

Slept very well with a little help from some herbal tablets.

Sitting here quietly, sipping my coffee, enjoying the peace and calm before the day starts.

Will have a nice long soak in the bath, and then just put the finishing touches to the flowers.

The butterflies are gone and I feel calm and serene.

thank you all so much for all your good wishes and kind thoughts.

I will spend the day surrounded by kind and loving people. We will spend the day celebrating my husband.s life. I dare say there will be both tears and laughter but all will be well.
