I don't mean this in a morbid way but the best way to honour Bob's commitment to this is by keeping it going whilst she is having a rough time.
Good luck to all, may your wombles continue to grow!
I'm sure everyone's just busy - Good luck to you all too.
For me the wombles this week have been 4 pears from someone's garden, 2 cakes, 1 can of energy drink, 4 sandwich quarters from company in work doing market research - total estimated at £5.
Hope everyone's having a great week. I don't know about you guys but the darker nights have me feeling well tired and the clocks haven't even gone back yet!!:)0 -
