  • Morning

    Thank you so much for all the Christmas wishes.

    We have had a lovely couple of days. Really trying to make the most of the 'time'

    My anxiety is really high so it's helping to keep myself busy. The coming few weeks are going to be tough on us all. I wish I could just fix things and make it better.

    We are just staying wrapped in the Xmas activities and bubble for a while longer before we have to get back to the reality of it.

    Smalls have loved xmas. The food. The gifts. Have laughed until it's made happy tears and generally been so happy. It's so nice to see.

    I hope you've all have a lovely time x

    We are enjoying our bubble I have to admit it's been so nice. I plan on staying in it as long as we can. The countdown back to real life isn't as exciting as the countdown to xmas was. But it will soon be all 4 of our birthdays :eek: All of us over a few weeks. I'm hoping we'll be over the rough start to enjoy them. Well the smalls birthdays not so much mine :o I'm happy for that to pass by.
