Need to find out how to bookmark - otherwise definitely no chance of keeping up. 🏃🏼‍♀️
great achievements SH.

I was doing some reading for inspiration - I read this and thought you might find it interesting. I like the "word of the year" concept ..... although it's more than 1 word my 2022 phrase of the year will be "making it happen". I reckon you already did this in 2021.

thank you badmemory - that was very easy - 2 years after starting my diary I've learned how to bookmark - what progress 🤣

@savingholmes your in-laws comments made me smile (stick with me on this!). My husband and I separated in 2005 and his family shunned me, even though he was the one doing the leaving. Fast forward to 2014 and a chance encounter in town, I saw them and purposely said hello, although I had to remind them who I was! Why did I do that you may ask? Because I was pushing a pushchair with my 18 month son in it who I took great pride in introducing to them. It felt so great and still makes me smile now; it was a “look at how well I’ve got on in my life without your son or you thank you very much” moment. What goes around comes around, just bide your time 😉

Thanks DIA, Blackcats, GAP, MF, BadMemory, Hettyhound

I'm rushing around today but appreciate the posts they made me smile. I've bought lots of art stuff today - part using Xmas voucher, part real £ - mostly in the sale. I also got my tyres tracked finally... Just caught up with a couple of friends that I thought weren't interested in me anymore and it turns out it was just a misunderstanding. Feel like I've received a gift. We will meet up in the new year and they said drop around for coffee any time so I will.

Now dropping DD off at a friend's so she can go clubbing (

Scared face - but has had booster ). Her friend got injected last time she went out and ended up in A&E... Scary... Please God keep them safe...

Then zipping up the motorway to see sis and their family for a few hours before heading back home.

Happy New Year to you all.
