    Sending love KK.  the last stages are so hard to witness and to deal with
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Glad you have some pretty flowers KK.  And I'm going to nag you a bit to look after yourself.  You need to be in a fit state to support Mr KK so do try to take some time for yourself when it's available to recharge.  Literally stop and smell the roses.  Which brings us back round to your lovely flowers...everything goes in circles.

  • Gorgeous flowers and I love those tiles!

    Entirely fine for you to feel knackered and teary, don't make yourself feel worse by thinking you 'don't deserve' perfectly normal and healthy emotions.

    And your friend will understand, I'm sure they won't want to come miles for a lovely weekend catching up and then be in the midst of funeralness!

    Do you have any more leave you can take to have a regular day off or a chunk of time at the moment? And you don't have to say it's to support your family and keep yourself well at a very trying time, you can tell them it's because you simply cannot work in these circumstances, darlings, not with the Oat Milk Mare there 😁
