    I do indeed have some very important shopping to do thanks to Ali :grin:
    Ali has very kindly offered to fund the walker & so I need to go shopping.
    I never ever fail to be humbled & astonished by the amazing kindness & support offered by the amazing people on MSE.
    Ali~ I thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
    Quite simply you are a star~~especially when you have your own health issues to think about.:A :T

  • Alright beanie,

    I am all caught up and I am IN. Very excited about your shopping trip. Ali is a super special person indeed, bless her heart. You definitely deserve it though. Karma will see us all right in the end!

    As for your fall... please be careful. You haven't done any lasting damage I hope?

    Hugs!! xx

  • Hello lovely Beanie! I'm so pleased Ali has been able to help you. I'm on weekend two of paying off little bits of mortgage and pondering how I can squeeze another few pounds over to it. As I'm not doing such a big food shop this week but using stuff up I might manage something.

    I hope your weekend is going peacefully and you are feeling more spring like .
    With family, friends and pets (or any combination of them) life will be fine!

    I am decluttering my bedroom.
    Hopefully I will be less emotionally & physically tired soon.
    I am starting to save for a new carpet or flooring as carpet is 22 years old :eek:

    Having a bedroom that you like the look of, and is relaxing to be in, will help with your exhaustion, I'm sure. Slow and steady, Beanie, you know it :kisses3:

    One brown wall, one cappuccino, and the rest the same magnolia, plus a rug and new bedspread changed my entire room into a retreat. A £3 set of fairy lights on the headboard and I live in here :)

    Hope you start to feel much better soon beanie xx
