    That's lovely ww.

    Honestly, I think that if I wasn't feeling so emotionally fragile, I wouldn't be so upset. At the moment, things that would normally be no big deal are really bothering me. I also think the Christmas thing is feeding back into the family issues a bit - I'm feeling that familiar, outsider thing again. 2016 has been a challenging year for me.

    WaS, I'm totally going to that home! It sounds amazing!

    I've just seen an advert for a job I actually like the look of. 35% pay cut though!

    I may even consider getting dressed and applying (yeah, still in pj's at nearly 2pm)

    I'm still in my nightshirt too tea!

    I have been pottering around, cleaning, tidying, grooming (okay, shaving my beard......:o) and eating.

    I've still got to go out and maybe get a few things, perhaps visit the building site and such, but I'm not feeling the enthusiam.

    I've got this day off before my shifts start again tomorrow so I don't want to waste it.

    I need to go out for a walk........or something.........
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    Afternoon all! Big hugs Code, can I join the OTOLI club? I think I have already been a lifetime member without knowing it!

    That's lovely Whitewing, truly inspirational.

    What is this getting dressed thing? I have been in various sets of pj's since Christmas eve.

    We are having our usual quiet day, all in all we have had a very peaceful holiday. I got exactly what I wanted from WaSp which was socks! I collect socks like other people collect bags and shoes. I have 20 new pairs, this makes for a happy WaS. I think I need more...

    Look which dirty stop outs just wandered in together (I say wandered I mean ran in as if being chased by demons, whilst yowling about hunger)
