Great news about your relative DIA 😸👍
One thing you should still be proud of is that you are still doing lots of organised stuff ontop of what you'd normally do anyway ( if 5hat makes sense ) .You are handling things really well , and just keep plodding along 😼6 -

I had a text from a friend telling me to concentrated on finding a home so I can create a sanctuary as there will be more heartache to come and I know it is true...
Despite planning frog setting yesterday I bottled out and went to see N0ma3dland on a whim. I promised to see it with a friend but the arrangements got complicated. I had forgotten how dull coordinating respective diaries can be. Anyway I saw it and it was amazing and thought provoking. I doubt there were 25 people in the whole cinema. I sat in a corner with my mask on!
Exercise (walking) and good food yesterday as I stuck an organic chicken in the slow cooker. Picked up my organic veg box yesterday too. Just remembered a bar of G&B and a bag of popcorn so no quite so smug missus.
Lovely soup made today. Roasted veg will be made later. No junk today!
My complaint with RM needs ANOTHER response. Starting to hate RM. (FROG)
This evening is hospital and I'm taking the little one with me for a visit.
A big frog to address is the dentist. Scared but also annoyed by the level of admin and bureaucracy needed to even enter the premises but I need a checkup and to see the hygienist. (FROG)
Ending with good news: I won £100 on my PBs. I will transfer this to my CU to go towards my EF
Wishing you all a good day

Hiya,
Your friend is right, as hard as it may be.
The film isn't one I'm after seeing but then again, I've not been to the cinema for a few years, so I'm not sure what I would like that's out.
That's quite a few Frogs, to get through, I'm sure they'll get sorted
Well done on the win, that's fantastic.
Hope that the hospital visit goes well tonight.
Sending lots of hugs your way xx6
