Crikey SYA, I don't think anyone here thinks you're feeling sorry for yourself!
When do you go? Glad the tyre is sorted before the journey!
Is dog food a lot cheaper where you are rather than DS?
They've shut my local spoons so I am always jealous of your trips there!
Safe journey x2 -
No suggestion here that you were feeling sorry for yourself. I was simply stating that routine and doing the everyday things in times of stress and crisis can be beneficial.2
