  • Hey up lovely friend

    1. Keep plodding
    2. Do one nice thing for yourself
    3. Remember you are ok. (in fact you, as a human being are WAY better than ok) it will work out. You got the lodger and your house looks marvellous.
    4. Keep plodding

    Love you XXXXX

    Where do you do your main food shop, just out of interest? Just trying to think of ways to save some pennies.

    Sorry to hear you're stressed beanie. Good advice from Buffy. Yes, do remember the lodger. It all helps. Too much to have two?

    I don't have room for two.
    Would have to think long and hard about having a couple. In fact I wouldn't.

    So, you know what your limit is, thats good. One lodger manageable, but not two. Wish I could think of something as useful as Buffy's words of wisdom.

    Sending you a big hug Beanie xx You're doing your best and that's what matters, you can't do the impossible. In your own words "keep plodding".

    I am plodding on, thanks.
    Increasingly worried about things needing done & lack of pennies.
    Am trying to not worry too much but............



    The only way I could cope when I was unemployed was by living in the moment and trying just to focus on that. I do worry about you when you are replying to my thread in the middle of the night. x
