    Oh no. Obviously I don't know the story, but I will say as a volunteer I'm not sure you should be getting worked up about things like this. It doesn't seem fair :( xx

    It as it is.

    Thanks Butti :)
    How are you?

    I'm okay, a bit emotional.
    Plodding and trying to avoid doing my tax return but knowing I need to do my tax return because they owe me money, and then forgetting the password for my tax return! (It's not just me - this is exactly the story for my work colleague!) It needs to get done and I am SO GOOD at procrastination.......and forgetting passwords.

    The problem at the moment is literally that too many people have died in the last few weeks. My brother's mother in law died about 10 days ago and she was just a lovely lovely homely person, really kind. A friends mother died last week and when I saw her in the street on Friday 'we had a moment' (as she put it). I remember someone coming round with a bunch of flowers the day after my mum's diagnosis and 'having a moment' on me and I was not best pleased!!! Especially as I was holding myself together not too badly and my mum was due back fairly soon and I had had instruction to carry on 'as normal'.

    Try to remember Beanie to only stress about the things you have control over (and try not to stress about those things too much, as LIFE IS TOO SHORT. There is NO POINT in stressing about the things you don't have control over and really only limited point in stressing about those things you do.

    You are .... and you need to keep reminding yourself of these wise words

    Hugs
    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
