    I'm usually a very strong person , I've always had to be but I'm not feeling very strong at the moment and I am finding each day a struggle to get through . I know I am lucky I have a family but losing my nan has made a massive hole in my life, my days revolved around being with nan and now my days are empty, nan was my nan my mum and my friend and I miss her so much it hurts :(

    Biggest hugs, ilts. Eventually, your biggest comfort will be your memories of the time that you spent with your nan and your love for each other. I think that your nan had a very special DGD. x

    You know you can come here anytime.

    I know it is early yet, but how about volunteering in a charity shop, or starting a course?

    Oh ILTS its awful isn't it. When my dad died I felt just like you. He had been such a massive part of my life - saw him every day - and even though I was married with a toddler I couldn't see how I could ever get through it. But it really is true that time heals. For now, you need to really look after yourself - treat yourself as fragile and don't expect too much of yourself.
    Now I still have moments when I miss him dreadfully but I can usually think back to our times together without feeling too sad.

    It is early days, you loved your nan so much, it is hard when they get taken away.

    You are always welcome to come and talk on here, someone always around. Take care lovely xx

    Morning all, hope everyone is well.

    Can I please ask if anyone knows what restrictions are for selling on of packaged sweets ? For example if I opened a tin of quality street, split them down & packaged nice for Christmas. Am I allowed to sell on like this ? Tia xx


    Where would the nutritional. Allergens and ingredients be found?
