    Sorry to hear you're not feeling well :( You don't moan all the time you tell it like it is. Fact of life is we don't have good days all the time and the beauty of these diaries is that we can be truthful.

    Anyway sending hugs your way and hope you feel better soon xx

    Booo to no bookclub and feeling unwell.

    I am sure its the best decision for your body but not for being with people and socialising

    Hugs.

    PS you mom, neer, you tell a narrative that is important for others to hear - including me, as I have had to do just what you have done tonight, which means I know you understand what it is like

    More love and hugs

    Says it all, beanie. I'm sorry things are bad for you - thats not a moan from you, its the truth.

    Time to confess I think.
    One of my sources of anxiety is that my CC has crept up.
    Ahem.
    So I am now juggling this with OP'ing the mortgage.
    No one to blame but myself.

    SO what book did you have for the book club to read? and did you read it ? and if so ... review please, was it good? was it rubbish, how well was it written, stories characters etc ?

    credit card, yep i'm having overdraft issues, i'm thinking of trying to pay it down by 25 a month or so, could you manage £25 a month? maybe even £10 ? my plan is to try and reduce access to that amount as soon as payment is made ... could that work for you?

    how you feeling ?
