A crappy weekend really. 7 hours in A & E with mums health issues yesterday, she’s ok but still in pain. I was on a NSD but after being awake for 19 hours and not eating in that time I caved in to a big tasty, over £8 for a meal!Anyway today was also a disappointment. Planned spend day as we went to a mini rave for kids. I loved it but kiddo cried and cried and wanted to leave after an hour so £40 for a feeling of failing cos he didn’t enjoy it. Oh well.
Onwards.
Still a nice amount in the account so can make extra transfers fingers crossed this week!
noticed it was later to get dark tonight. Hoping for those lighter mornings sooooooon!21/02/24

Hi @JustALass, have read through your diary, I am sorry you had such a tough year last year. I think it is worth discussing the grief counselling, it may not be for you, but I know a few people who have found it so useful. Amazing work with the no gambling so far, that takes a lot of effort! Great news on the ballot!0

Good luck for the great north run. I did it many many years ago and loved it. It's a fantastic atmosphere.
