    ((Mooloo)) I'm glad you were able to have a chat with your daughter, its good to talk things through.

    I often wonder how people have the time to have partners/boyfriends who don't live with them. If I wasn't married I would just be on my own, making time for an extra person seems like hard work to me and like you have realised there isn't enough time to do everything and family must come first.

    I hope you manage to work something out.

    Twin2 is unfortunately having a miscarriage today, so all is rather upsetting for her at the moment. I can’t help thinking phew, but I am still few sad for her.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Oh how sad for Twin 2 - although I understand your "phew" - she will be devastated at the moment. {{hugs}}

    Feeling as bleak as it is outside. So I need to raise my positive energy and look for the best in the day. We are currently at BFs. We have his granddaughter as her Dad is doing the garage flat roof. We are going to walk to town because he doesn’t have a car seat. That will please my Fitbit!
    Dgd is wanting to go to Toys Shop, but without the car it’s going to be another day now! She needs some tops, so a visit to Primark or similar is required.
    We will have to go back home today as his daughter is coming home tonight. But that’s good as I won’t have to navigate the morning rush hour.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Home. Aches etc as we walked nearly 9km today!
    Hips start to seize up! I will have a nice deep bath soon and feel better after it.

    It’s a bit too far for me. I think BF forgets that I have a few problems!
    I will probably suffer tomorrow!
    I haven’t been for the bath yet. Got sidetracked.
    I think I will go and pour it now.
