Hi all,
I know the Easter period can be hard for some, especially those without family and/or friends around.
I thought I would make a thread so that people can come together to share the holidays in a supportive place. So whether you would like a place to chat, some support or just a place to chill, then you are welcome on the Easter thread.
Please feel free to invite anyone here to share this special time together.

My Easter this year is different from the many I have had with no family. I filled it with music, which I am missing atm. it will be wonderful when I can have both.

I was told that you're allowed to work on both Good Friday and Easter Sunday, but you have the choice and you get paid nonetheless. If you do work then you get penalty rates. So I turned up to work and no-one was there 😂.
I work in nightfill, so I could have slept if I knew that I didn't have to work 😕. This puts the other two days in doubt too, I'll have to ask my manager. Like if the store is closed tomorrow (on Friday), there's nothing to refill tomorrow night! I'm assuming we have the day off.
Anyway, HAPPY [...] EASTER! ❤️. I am probably going to celebrate by reading two books in their entirety, watching football and going out with my family for dinner on Saturday night. Easter Monday is my birthday, too 😊. SHHH, I want it to be a surprise! 😉.
Many thanks to a couple of people who have interacted with a lot of my posts recently and made me feel listened to. @Appleblossom and @Daisydreamer from memory. Also, @oceangirl, tagging you because your name is lovely and you are too 😊.
A toast to whoever is reading this, though 🍫. Raising a toast with chocolate instead of alcohol should become a tradition.
Hi @Former-Member
Its nice to meet you and thank you for your lovely kind words and warm message.
Good idea to check with the manger about your schedule- I worked night fill many years ago. You could be working today because they didn't fill the shelves yesterday and stores will reopen tomorrow. Enjoy your Easter holidays.

Hi @Snowie @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom @Anastasia @Judi9877 @Former-Member @Bunniekins
Hope you all have a great day. I'm heading out soon for a walk along the beach and swim depending on how windy it is down there. Kira had her chest xray yesterday- no change from last month. Not sure what all that means- the vet is calling me back Tuesday to discuss results. I was hoping the nodule had disappeared. Happy Good Friday. Love to you all

Thanks @Snowie
Hey @oceangirl
Sorry the nodule has not reduced.
