My 2020 round up.
Welll what can I say.
Debt just about gone, mortgage just about gone.
My mobility & other health issues are not the best but it is what it is.
I have to contiue to adapt & deal with things the best I can.
I lost my beloved boys within 5 days of each other.
Oh how how I miss them.
I now have the very lovely Miss S.
I miss my friends & family as we all do.
Next year I think will be more of the same.
Thank you to all my lovely MSE forum friends(many of whom I have met in real life) for your unfailing support through my ups downs and falls!
I salute you all.

beanielou said:Thank you so much my lovely friends.
I am glad that you dont think I have let people down.
I'm hoping that 2021 brings some easement for your physical health, and that peace and happiness are what flavors your life, and Miss Ss for the coming years. (((hugs))) XXX
I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy7 -
Very sad indeed to lose your lovely boys so close together. Miss Summer is a little sweetheart, I’m so pleased you got her. Let’s hope 2021 is a better year for all of us 🙏I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

You've done so much for the FB, it's time to do what's right for you.
