    I do not have good door karma :eek: :rotfl:
    I am staying at a friends house while she is away to house & dog sit & the key got stuck in the lock. Someone then tried to get it out & it broke in the lock. You could not make it up!!

    l am in shock.
    someone has made a very generous donation to the door fund.
    I am very worried that they have put in an extra 0 in their donation.
    I am so very humbled.
    Thank you.
    It means more than you know.

    You deserve it :)
    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.

    This happened to me Beanie. The difference between you and me is it was the other person's house, they had just bought it and I was stood next to them.....and the sales person said "I'm glad that wasn't me!"

    A day in part of reflection.
    This week my amazing & awesome DS will graduate.
    In September he will go on to do Masters.
    It has been a rocky road at times.
    At times we did not think he would finish school far less go onto University.
    It brings up memories of all the people who are no longer here to celebrate his achievements.
    Both his great grans, his Gran. His grandpa (My dad) who like me would have been so very proud.
    We will miss you all & will raise a glass to you all.

    So lovely peeps as we know life is for living.
    Go out there & sieze the day.
    Forgive, laugh & love.

    Carp diem.
    Ubique.

    Not forgetting all my lovely MSE chums, both old and new, who have been there for me through thick and thin over the years.
    Also the lovely lovely people who have so very kindly donated to the door fund. I am so humbled & touched.
    Thank you to each & every one of you who has been part of my MSE journey.
