I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Yeah I was thinking that too @CheerBear but I’m glad you will get time to breathe and deal with life while the kids are at school for a few more weeks. Christmas is steamrolling in. It feels like time is double speed.

I’ve actually had lots of dreams about Christmas this year @CheerBear. Many are about not being able to afford presents for my family. I know it’s not about the money but I’ve never not managed before. This year is going to be hard for me emotionally feeling like I’ve failed them. I’ll get over it at some point. I have a black sheep issue to deal with too with one of mine :face_with_rolling_eyes:. It never ends.

Going to write a post to Zoe and then maybe wind down @CheerBear (although I don’t know how much more I can wind down I haven’t wound up yet 😜🤦♀️). I’ve managed to keep food in my system today so hopefully tomorrow I’ll wind up again. I hope you have an ok night.
Have to share this...that I just smirked as the ones arguing are making business like pitches to each other about where they want to go and why, with cost benefit analysis and outcomes of it. It’s quite amusing. They are going to China.
Night @outlander if you are still around too
