  • I take each day as it comes Lucky. My Mum left us a little nest egg so I’m using that to get out and about and have rekindled some old friendships. I am very fortunate that I have a wide circle of supportive friends who live all over the country so there’s always someone to visit :D. My son is doing very well thank you although he doesn’t go out as much as I’d like him to! He works from home so is usually glued to his computer :rotfl: xx

    Auntie B yes I heard about the body, just awful. You must be the other side of town from me. Glad your son is doing well.

  • I’m very fortunate in that respect Seasidegal and friends mean everything to me, especially now xx
  • @AuntieBogus Sorry about your OH and mum. I lost my mum seven months ago. Your son sounds very similar to mine. He had/has mental health issues and works from home so he doesn't go out much, although he does travel abroad alone a few times a year.

  • So sorry for your loss HH. Mums are so special and we never imagine they are ever going to leave us. My son has his good and bad days; today was a good one because he went out and met up with an old friend :T xx
