    While it was nice to be away it is also so nice to be home in my own surroundings & with my three fur babies.

    More sad news tonight in that a relative on DS's side is very very unwell.
    They were very very good to me when my ex DH & I split up.
    You dont forget that :(

    In other news I have spent a LOT of money on a pair of slippers which I really hope will suit my feet & will stay on the said feet & will not contribute to my falling.
    When I say spent I mean I have put on my credit card:o:o

    Pleased to hear you got to see you ds and gf over Christmas.
    I think it’s hard when we hear of folk being ill, especially at this time of year. It can be a sad time of year.
    Hopefully your mum wasn’t hurt after her fall.
    I know just what you mean about it being nice to be away but nice to get home again.
    What did you do with your fur babies whilst away - I bet they were pleased to see you back :D
    January spends - £587.58
  • Sorry to hear of falls and poorly folk.
    Hope the slippers are everything you need them to be.
    Lush that you saw DS & GF on Christmas Day.
    Sending hugs Xx
