Hello all you lovely people.

Moomy you are such a lovely Mum you always seem to know just how to cheer up your daughter, what would she do without you.

Lynda I did warn you that you would burn yourself out. No wonder you feel like curling up in the corner you must be exhausted. I will curl up with you and give you a big hug. Have a wonderful holiday next week it will be warm and cosy and you can rest and heal again.

Jasmin love and hugs to you.

Gillian you are doing so well, keep it up and hugs to you.

Carol you are a lovely friend so pleased you are having a happy time now and some good days out.

Jakki love and hugs to you. 

Where has summer gone, fed up with all this rain. I went out for a lovely  day with a Mac friend today despite the rain. I drove further than I have before but my confidence has really taken a beating, I am so nervous negotiating islands and directions. Going to meditation and mindfulness session on Wednesday see if it will help with relaxation and sadness. Not sure if I can do it but will let you know how I get on. 

Love and hugs xxx

Hi Christine,  thank you, hope wednesday goes well and it helps you feel better xx

I haven't forgotten you Keith. Love to you and Rosemary xxx

Hello everyone, 

wow, we have a large round yellow thingy in the sky this morning! Hope its there for all of you, too.....but watching the forecast right now, showers on the way too....heck, is it April or is it really September? 

Hope you are all doing better, thinking of you all.....

We had a productive day yesterday in spite of the weather, the garden got cleared of weeds ( lovely old flags but with gaps where weeds grow!) I had started all that when it stopped raining, (perfect weeding weather!) daughter joined me when she got up........I then decided to use a Titchmarsh tip for cutting a long, wet lawn, sweep first with a broom, and it worked! We then sheltered from another shower, ate lunch and then carried on....there's a huge old stone wall ( the property is on the edge of a disused quarry) and it had grown brambles and other weeds, the ladders came out and that got cleared! 

Too exhausted to cook dinner, we walked to one of the pubs, lots of talking, lots of reassurances from me, think she is improving. 

Today the plan is for retail therapy! ( just as well as these bones are a bit ache-y) then tomorrow her counselling session, depending how she is, I go home by train or we drive down together. I suspect she will be staying here to be honest as I think the few days has boosted her confidence which had sadly got knocked very hard with the just finished relationship. 

Hugs to you all, specially big ones for those who I know need them xxx

Hi,

Know several of you have been discussing cats recently. One has been found so could you check to see if this isn't yours :-)

Well, I've handed the house key over to the plumber, and I'm leaving him to get on with it now. Hopefully when I get back from hols I will have a shiny new bathroom.

now I am focusing on what I need for the holiday, and trying to relax a bit before I go.

had a minor meltdown today, wandering round the supermarket and suddenly just couldn't comprehend why I am here and Jon isn't. But I am OK now.

Hugs Lynda, you have achieved such a lot in a very short time. You need that holiday.

Meltdowns are normal for all of us. Looking forward to hearing about your lovely relaxing holiday and to seeing you again. Xxxx
