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.

Hi @Zoe7 @Teej @CheerBear .... anyone else in the convo ......
I have a girlfriend who introduced me to the fact that she grows those hair, bone and teeth things ..... fascinating, ain’t it ? So weird and awesome at the same time.
@CheerBear , I am thinking that middle is probably not too big to keep a sticker-type chart for progress in terms of variety and quantity of recovery food choices ..... maybe with a drawing / colouring or something type aspect to it ? Could involve glue and glitter if you are not way over both ?
Newsagents stock mall children activity books with stickers in them sometimes, related to learning about things in their environment. You might find such stickers helpful without using the rest of the book.

Yes one week to go and then holidays @CheerBear woohoo!!!!
I have a lot going on in the first week of holidays and then will be able to rest in the second week. So kind of 2 weeks before I can settle in and do nothing but I will get there eventually.
Do you have anything planned with your LF for the holidays?

Starred walking home to burn off frustration (assignment not working) ..... and have just found out there is a baby dragon meltdown at home .....
Sigh.
Maybe that are all just hangry ?
Will try feeding everybody I can as a first measure.
@CheerBear 👍

Yes the second week is Easter @CheerBear We will likely have the Sunday at my parents house for lunch and then the remainder of the week (apart from DBT) will be mine to relax. If I have enough energy I will move some things in the spare room and try to get that area sorted but my first week is going to be full on so it may need to wait unitl later in the year.
It sounds nice going from place to place visiting people - something you haven't had enough of in your life for a long time so that will be lovely to be able to do. Will there be some puppy playing times in there too?

I would love you to meet Toby too @CheerBear You would love him (everyone does). He is such a smoocher and loves pats from anyone. He would go with anyone who showed him any attention but he always looks for me to make sure I am close by. You would love Cat too - she is such a little sweetheart
