I’m sorry it’s been so hard this week. I hope you get to hear from the DVLA very soon, as I suspect that will be weighing on you badly ….
As to the rest, there is little we can do I suspect, as a lot of it relates to you caring for others who are facing / going through horrific things, I think?Do share if there is anything you think we might be useful as a sounding board for. We all believe in you and want the best for you x
Sending you huge, gentle hugs.

More gentle hugs Hopefully just one thing will come good soon and then the ripples will spreadMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!5 -
Thinking of you Lou and sending gentle (((hugs))) and healing thoughts to you and those you love. XXXI 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 unhappy4 -
