I've noticed the link too, recently.Bubblesmum wrote: »I am in awe that you were able to do graduation day with all that walking and standing without using a mobility scooter/wheelchair, and so not surprised that your back is so sore and you are having such trouble with indigestion. I find my digestive system is really affected when due to my gait, too much standing and falling. Also being extremely tired... take care of yourself.
Fantastic :j Lets *so* talk about the efforts to get off the grass :rotfl:Was at a 50th last night.

We will not talk about the bench we were sitting on that broke & we all ended up on the wet grass.

Talking of prosecco, I'm rather partial to a Mojito Royale - which is white rum topped up with Prosecco rather than soda - very nice (hic) I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

I am not having the best of weeks it has to be said.
There have been ongoing issues with my current lodger.
I am very stressed and I am currently seriously thinking of asking her to leave.
She is young and it is her first time away from home.
I am trying so hard to take all this into account but it is so hard.
She does just not get that it is my house & I can say how things have to be.
Every time I try to offer advice on things she takes it so personally.
I am struggling.
Thoughts please?
