No Satchmo1, you're not the only person wishing for torrential rain, me too, my beautiful dog is terrified of fireworks too. Our public display is next to the river so I also worry about the ducks, swans and other wildlife
.
I'm declaring early for tonight, so that'll be 6/6 for me please cathybird.
I'm looking forward to joining in for the whole month tomorrow. It's been easier than I thought and I'm feeling so much happier that I'm taking better care of myself annnnd....saving a few quid in the process.....win win.4 -

Ending on 23/25. I missed my target. It was a tricky month emotionally for me. However, I was AF for 71.1% of the month and put like that I am ok with it

ending the month with 24/25, which for October is quite an achievement, with so many family birthdays and anniversaries, plus another angel created with the loss of a lovely, lovely uncle. At 91 it wasn't unexpected, and he had an amazing life which took him worldwide, sometimes with family, sometimes not.
What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?5
