Emails from 209 down to 193. Sent 3 emails to friends which are months overdue and emailed the found paperwork to solicitors so feeling more up to date with things. Need to have a Big Tidy Up this weekend as it’s getting difficult to see the wood for the trees, then it should be a bit easier to focus on the higher priority areas next week as I want to start actually packing boxes ready for the move. Once I know where I am actually going I will need to have headspace to deal with paperwork quickly and efficiently so if packing is well ahead, that should be easier to do.

I found my needles! Obviously the safe place to put them is in the bottom of the black bin liner containing the ridiculous amounts of wool that are cut into pieces 🙄🤣

Aww @GrannyKate Sox looks very chilled, how wonderful 🥰
Sadly it’s been a difficult 24 hours, this time yesterday I had to rush my handsome Gizzy 🐈⬛ to the vet after finding him collapsed just outside out garden 😔 Sadly he did not recover, despite our wonderful Vet’s valiant efforts.I am broken (as is my eldest Son) and have really struggled to focus or function today without getting upset. He was my furry sidekick for over 15 years and was always around me and up to mischief, he would even come and sit in the bathroom to wait for me to get out the shower/bath! His constant shenanigans kept us all amused.
It feels like my world will always be a darker shade without him in it, although I will be forever thankful to him for his unwavering love and loyalty, he taught me so much more than I ever could have imagined. He will be forever remembered for being my very vocal shadow and for having the most magnificent handle like tail (the tip could touch his nose!) 🐾
Not much else decluttered except for a lot of tears and his littler tray 😔

Floss - I get off the train in Runcorn when I visit my daughter in Little Leigh.
Bestie has been - she struggled but I can now get photos off my phone and resize them on the computer. Bestie has taken my camera battery as she thinks her hubby will be able to charge it.
I gave bestie a bar of chocolate from Lid. to try as it doesn't contain palm oil. I await her verdict.
I found my laundry basket with legs when I emptied the room of doom - great for taking out and bringing in the washing.
Young J has been to collect his equipment to go and stay with his uncle for 2 weeks.
Curry dinner.

"Brie, now that your diagnosis has been confirmed, I will keep everything crossed that a treatment plan can be put in place 🤞 "
A lovely idea but no. Nothing was offered beyond - "when it bothers you take the pills already prescribed". So a waste of NHS time.
