    Sending gentle hugs, and hoping a nights feast and plenty of cat cuddles plus arnica makes Sunday a better day
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Oh dear Beanie, first I hope you are recovering from your fall at the front door. Sorry to hear the charity has finally closed and that the people get new jobs .

    Are you going to volunteer elsewhere , I know you do the food bank, maybe that is enough.

    I hope you have managed to eat something not just crap . Have a comfortable Sunday .

    A PJ day sounds like a good idea. Take care.
    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

    Buffer fund 0/100
