    Aw that's lovely Beanie xx

    I'm not a great one for the hype of New Year either, although I quite like the idea of a clean slate.

    I also have a small family with cousins all over the place, none close by. Unfortunately I am now part of the older generation as all the old ones are long gone, I'm by far the youngest of this "older" generation though.

    With the exception of my dad, who is still going strong, although I haven't seen him since I was 14. He had the cheek to send me a FB friend request with no message - I just ignored it.

    It's great that we can say how we really feel on here and get support without being judged.

    Hope 2018 will be a fabulous year for you xx
