Hi @Abner thanks for your recommendations and response, look forward to some of them. Can't do scary personally - find real life scary and dark at times.

Have a good day 😊.

Hi there @Paulette!

I'm going well today, how are you?

I'm intentionally taking today a little bit slow as I feel like I need that this week 🙂

A mocha sounds delish right now!

Warm regards,

Hi @Former-Member ,

Thankyou dear friend for always being there. I am at work but I wanted to check in. I wanted to do more excercise on day off but ended up walking down to local shops listening to Led Zeppelin and I felt great. Made Beef Chow Mein with lots of stir veg. Mainly spending time with my partner watched a RomCom together. He's sweet like that searches for a movie I'll like. Had good sleep. Routine is good I agree. Still fighting for two days off to stay two days off. Less time I spend thinking of what little I think of Lawyers....the better. Have a lovely day and look after yourself 🙂. I can never find your pretty flowers emoticons on here but sending some pink roses today.

Good morning 🌞 @Paulette.

I hope your day at work goes well for you.

Thanks for being there for me too - I really appreciate it. I have disentangled myself from all my previous toxic relationship and past family members. Unfortunately those relationships under the circumstances were destructive to my wellbeing. I really appreciate our contact. It feels like you are a true friend - with only one other true friend it is lovely to be in contact with you.

Don't be hard on yourself re : exercise. Walking is exercise any way. Funnily enough I am listening to Def Leppard on the exercise bike.

I have a nasty back and shoulder condition but have finally made it to 10 mins on the bike a day as well as doing regular back exercises.

My physio is happy with ATM - but not my doctor as seem to have high blood pressure. I put it down to all the stress.

Well done on cooking a nutritious meal again. Sounds yum. Your partner is lucky to have you and don't forget it !! He sounds sweet.

Caught up with an ex -partner the other night. We watched Top Gun which wasn't too bad. Was nice to see him but he has a tendency to break my 💓. It is what it is. He is good company.

Anyways I hope your day goes well and I look forward to messaging on your leave.

Take care and keep safe 🌻🌻🌻. Thanks for the roses 😊.

Hi @Former-Member ,

Thankyou so much for your reply. I'm so.glad I met you here. You bring warmth understanding and sunshine 😌 into my life. I'm working today but appreciate the money as it feels so good to have savings. First time in my life I've been able. It would feel so good to spend on my darling children for Christmas. It's the second year without them and it's still ruins me. I have no contact with family. They only care about themselves and how much money they make.how many homes and cars. I too don't need the toxicity. I really wish I could have a relationship with family but this will never happen again. I used to have a sibling whose only purpose was to call and argue with me.

I realise now that friends can be the family you don't have. I feel so much better speaking to you. I hope your day has been good. I am so lucky to have the beautiful man I do as a partner. I would be lost without him. First time in my life I've been treated with any respect, and given real love. I did think for a long time it didn't exist. I became so cynical. We only have each other.

I'm glad you have been excercising. I am getting on treadmill today. Hoping to buy kettle weight over weekend. I am determined to find the time to excercise even as I work. My body deserves to be looked after. The excess weight is a deep embarrassment to me. In have struggled my while life. In have started taking natural supplements to get rid of some fluid retention. We have to ease ourselves back into excercise routine.

I'm glad you saw Top Gun with your ex. I broke up with an ex because there was no way he could ever love me. I decided that I would not take that anymore.

My phone is down so low and I forgot to bring my charger. Please take care 💓 and I hope to speak later with more charge.

Hello Dear Friend @Paulette .

I'm so sorry your family have made things so hard for you.

My sister ( only sibling ) and myself have no contact over the last four years. She has become CEO of a company and her children have grown up so she no longer needs me to care for them when she was unavailable.

She is like your family - has a great 👎 real estate profile, the electric cars and the lot. My extended family are understanding of my situations having had a few hard knocks too.

Mum and Dad whilst kind and helpful in some ways are soul destroying in others. My Mum is super harsh re : my weight.

I'm also really sorry to hear about your children. I have been reading up on "abandoned parents " it says it is never a child's decision but is caused by influence. There is some great stuff to look at on Pinterest re : the heartbreaking topic.

I'm trying to do photo albums ATM which is exhausting and upsetting but enlightening in remembering the good times.

I find Christmas a really hard time of the year and my parents have asked I not attend the family gathering.

My daughter will be OS. No progress with her to speak of accept a text and acceptance of a gift. I can only try.

My parents saw her today apparently she is doing well.

Heart breaking stuff I understand.

I'm really proud of you and myself for saving money - me first time in about 21 years -

I'm hoping to do a reflexology course, I think or fix a bad tooth.

What are you going to do with your funds.

Any ways hope you are feeling better. Enjoy your leave.

Kindness and love Maggie 🌻
