Aw that's very kind of you @EssexHebridean. I did also stuff my face with cadburys crunchie bits chocolate after an extremely vivid dream last night where I was stuffing my face with it, so it hasn't all been bravely pushing through 😂

maybe the eating of crunchie bits and the dream are your version of the film Inception - a dream within a dream within a dream? I didn't really understand the film so apologies if that is not a good interpretation of a cinema classic.

Well done on the doing despite challenges. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
At least you made your dream come true 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping) -.literally have been run over by a bike, mobility scooter and a car - still here 💪1 -
Haven't seen it @Blackcats but I expect your description is spot on, as long as its a fillum about dreaming about stuffing your face with chocolate 👍
Thanks @Sun_Addict and absolutely this is a reminder to us all that we fully can achieve our dreams 😂
