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 have had to work through relationship stuff from the paternal side. For a while there is was so tricky to have a relationship with them. Then medical things happened and suddenly they weren’t so invincible. With that invincibility came vulnerability and a calm acceptance of things that were previously unacceptable. I think from my perspective it helps to see them grow. It’s probably quite different for you but it came as a blessing for me. It also changed relationships again for the better for my boys.
Having said that that I know that you are in the middle of very messy with having things forced in a time sensitive way. It has taken me a couple of years to come to this.

Hi everyone
I spoke to IT about the notifications issue. They think it is connected to individual email addresses rather than a system wide issue. I am collecting a list of members who are being affected and IT will follow up.
You might want to check your junk/spam folders.
I will provide updates as they become available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Regards
SleepyPanda

DEar @Zoe7
How are you ? I have thought about you and hoping that you are well.......
Im about to run off to a funeral.........
but will write when I get back about the holiday.
It was quite heavy. I didnt pay for anything, my brother paid for the holiday for me to see how he works........ but it was very necessary to get close to him and me and hhopefully my brothers.....thats another story.
My poor brothers. I had no idea how affected they have been by Mum. I truly thought it was only me.
It's great to be back...
