Good Morning
Last night I received two private messages. The first was absolutely delightful and I am grateful to that user.
The second was vile. I really have to wonder what is wrong with people who take time out of their day to go about trolling others. Reported to admin obviously.
I am not going to stop keeping MY diary for anyone.
Bob
Whoever sent vile message is obviously a very unhappy person most likely envious of your happy family life and determination Bob. You carry on ..... :T0 -
Love the wealth, health and organisation by the way think I may adopt those headings myself !0

Glad some bookings came through for you when you needed them the most! Remember this is still a new business and the first year or so can be tough. Fingers crossed you have a less stressful few months ahead!0

Hello Bob - I posted on your diary when you first started it - and then 'lost' you - am subscribing this time! Have read the whole of your diary yesterday/ today - my, you have had lots of ups and downs! - but your determination and overall positivity shines through - here's hoping there are way more ups than downs going forward!

Sounds like a tough month bob. Glad things are looking up.
My oldest boy has had some tough times at school. Mainly friends and his imature outlook (he is a summer baby) his transition to secondary school this year has been, in short, horrific :eek: culminating in a very worried phone call from school at the end of last term, and a bit of a panic from me and oh. Luckily all a bit of a mountain out if a molehill (but top marks to the school for following it up) and since the beginning of term he is a lot happier. But unfortunately no words of wisdom in getting G them to open up to you. Just keep yourself as available as possible and some one on one time (so hard I know!) Is invaluable. Good luck x
As ever your dinners sound awesome, I made a Yaki Soba from the wagamama cookbook, unfortunately I included toasted sesame seeds and the Wild one (4 yr old) refused it saying 'seeds are for birds to eat, not people' :rotfl: kind of logic it's hard to argue with!Debt free Feb 2021 🎉0 -

I'm envious of the amount you walk/cycle. I really need to up my game. I have a bike I bought two years ago but never used, woops. I'll dig it out when life is less hectic.
Hope you have a lovely evening.
Thank you Chandelier I think the 'secret' is making it a necessity. Is there an easy ride you could start off with? Say riding to the supermarket once a week?Sanchsoot49 wrote: »Love the wealth, health and organisation by the way think I may adopt those headings myself !
Do you have a diary too Sanchsoot would love to pop by if so:TFacelessNumber wrote: »Glad some bookings came through for you when you needed them the most! Remember this is still a new business and the first year or so can be tough. Fingers crossed you have a less stressful few months ahead!
That is such a good point FacelessNumber what makes it hard is I already have the premises and they always have to be paid for. I often wish I could have started again, maybe negotiated a new rent free period (which I had at the beginning of my lease back in 2012) but of course to the outside world the bills keep rolling whether I am running an established business or a new one." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D
