He is so handsome he probably though you were worshipping his greatness. Seriously, hope not to hurt.
Made 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 !!3 -

Thinking of you and hoping that you end the day feeling better. (((hugs))) XXX
I 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 unhappy3 -
Hope the physio helped . 😻😻😻 Hope Mr M wasn’t too upset and gave you cuddles.
