Hope the new medical thing goes well.
Loving the thought of you taking twilight walks on the beach as autumn and winter roll in, wrapped in your vintage cape.
Glad you're feeling less worried about family palaver.
Looking forward to hearing about your productive list and new season financial reset 🍻

Thanks @beanielou and @Seasidegal58 no coffees out today
Up early and prepped loads of veggies that were turned into...
veggie stock
delicious soup
coconut chickpea veggie curry
a cauliflower steak is marinating for later in the week
veggies chopped ready for roasted veggies in the week.
I had a catchup with BF this morning.
Then I had yoga and then my sewing class. I shortened my curtains and they now fit the window and look fabulous. The cape I bought now has a new top button that I like more. A good day
No coffees today. I bought some nuts, dates, coconut milk and chocolate covered nuts in the refill shop and some posh water (it has fizz and my treat as not doing wine!) still managed to spend ten pounds...
Friend who over asks and gave me a sinking feeling every time my phone pinged stated she would not contact me again. I've been fine with that but today she put a note through my door saying she stopped by for a hug as she missed me as does the dog! Hmmm, still thinking about it...
Not been in touch with the family all weekend. The situation has not changed but at least I have had a good weekend. I hope you have too
If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Coming to your home and putting something through your letterbox, that aims to do triple emotional guilt-tripping, is very much the opposite of not contacting you.
It is fine and normal to feel a little sorry for her and your former relationship with her, but you know where your boundaries are, and she has massively overstepped them and is still doing so. Just ignore, I know it's hard though.
Well done on your healthy efforts but you know you could have got a bottle of wine and a pile of chocolate for £10 right 😂

I think @PennysIntoPounds has hit the nail right on the head there re. the debilitating friend. 👍
