    Hang on in there. Keep plodding x
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    A cat was very sick last night. Unfortunately I can’t find where. Bah. 

    Meeting a friend shortly for lunch. Much needed.

    A nice wee lunch in the countryside. My friend insisted on paying as I had driven.

    Need some help please. 
    My lovely friend who is quite unwell has lost a lot of weight. She is now a 6/8. Any ideas on where to get some reasonably priced clothes for her. 
    Bearing in mind that neither us do shops so has to be online.

    As a fellow size 6/8 I can highly recommend High Street Outlet. Brand names for a lot less with the tags cut out.
