    None for me for yesterday but just wanted to say what brilliant emojis @cathybird, especially the 14 day one. Rather sad I won’t get that one as going away. 
    @maggiem thank you! xx :):)

    February was a poor month. Numerous birthdays,alcohol gifts for my own birthday Jan 31st,and difficult times with Mr Dusty led to my poorest month for years,only 16/20.Got down and depressed,and lonely,as Mr Dusty goes to bed at 6pm.Had a fall on stairs,wrenched right shoulder arm and elbow,lande and landed full on my knees,still hurting after 2 weeks.Pain and depression sadly led to a poor month.Got 2 major birthdays this week DD2 and DS2. If I do poorly I get depressed so I think it is prudent to go for 20 days for March and try to do much betterto cheer myself up..
