    Another one here reads your diary and FB posts. At least I don't worry about you if you've been AWOL from here as I know you're ok from FB :)

    Delurking again to say that I never find your diary boring!

    Belated birthday wishes from me too and hope all turns out ok health wise.

    How exciting that you were considered for Eat Well For Less - it's one of my favourite reality TV programmes. Can quite understand your reasons for not participating though.

    Some of us (me) read/follow your diary but don't post.
    Its good to know you are doing ok :)
  • Hi all. Thanks Seaside and 24ta for delurking :D.

    I went quiet again, sorry. We’ve had some bad news. My Cousin’s son passed away on Saturday. He was only 22 :(. He’s had addiction issues but had been clean, so a post mortem will hopefully give some answers. Such a waste and so very very sad Xx

    So very sorry to read about your cousins son. Whatever the reason, 22 is just too young. :( xx

    That is devastating news. So sorry. (((hugs)))
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
