    joys of autism ! My DS wears all black sketchers, no other colours allowed on them at all. I have to have his next pair ready to give him the second he says he needs new shoes (normally when he spots the tread wearing down) as soon as I give him his new ones I go and buy the next pair ready 🤣🤣.

    Sorry to hear about Bunny x

    Thanks Dawnybabes.

    This week has been difficult.

    DD lost her grandad (dad's side) yesterday and our other rabbit sadly passed in the night. He was young ish and had no visible signs of anything. It is an awful week.

    I have my last hospital appointment this morning and then final going away for the weekend. I think DD and I need a break away after this week.

    Thank you,

    It has been an awful week, especially for DD.

    We thought that might be the reason the second rabbit passed so quickly despite being young with no health concerns. He was absolutely fine the day before.

    DD is struggling. She thinks her hamster is going to die this week as well.

    Sorry to hear about the rabbits, hope DD is ok today. Bit late to the table but I thought your flower arrangements were very good , you have a lot of creative talent. I was at the big shopping centre yesterday very early for a coffee with a friend , I was glad to go home so busy for me .

    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    I know. It is so hard trying to reassure her.

    Thank you.

    I have been there a few times in the holidays. I wouldn't recommend it!!
