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.

I am relaxing at home with my fur babies tonight @CheerBear - give myself time to breathe before I begin planning again tomorrowm. I might also be taking my sister's painting to her tomorrow but only if the rain holds off. It will be good to get it to her and then I will have room to start something new.

Cat has taken herself to her room @CheerBear but should be back out soon for her night biscuits 
Toby is snuggled up next to me - he is getting plenty of pats. He looked so sad when I left this morning so it is lovely to see his happy little face again. I am sure I missed him more than he missed me ...I was happy to get home to him and he certainly was happy to see me - he is such a little treasure - I am so lucky.
I forgot to tell you all that my bins had been brought in for me when I got home - my neighbour is a lovely older gentleman and he often brings them in for me when I am not home ...I really need to get him something for christmas this year

It is much easier with 2 fur babies than you would have with your kids at times @CheerBear. How are your 2 fur babies?

Just wanted to drop in quickly and say good night and I hope you both sleep well @CheerBear, @Zoe7. My forum time and thesis writing are over. I have so much to do now :face_with_rolling_eyes:. Well done to both of you, you’ve navigated tough days with grace and success 💜🤗😘

hahaha yes laser pointers are wonderful for cat play @CheerBear. Cat would rather sit out in the garden and chase lizards than play in the house with her toys though. Toby on the other hand provides me with hours of enjoyment playing with his toys. They are both so spoilt lol
They are funny how they find the warmest spots whether that be by our sides or sitting in the sun somewhere - I hope Mouse keeps sleeping with you despite the weather getting warmer - that company is a wonderful thing - especially when you need it at the moment.
