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.

Thanks for the update @Faith-and-Hope. It is a bit nosey on my behalf but I enjoy hearing about what you are up to. It beats life at Teej's house. I hope you have a lovely Christmas. It will be lovely once you are settled into village life. I think the 6degrees sounds better than the heatwave building here, next 3 days 37-40 degrees. And thank you so much for your very supportive comments. I hope the day is kind to you 💜🤗
Thanks @Former-Member re my poza, made me laugh. He struts when he catches the ball on the half volley too. I need to thank you too. Today I was struggling when I saw your post on inspirational Christmas quotes. Looking for them for you took my mind off everything and I calmed enough to have a two hour phone call to Centrelink to finally sort everything out. Phew, I'm glad that is done and looks like everything is restored as it should be. I have fallen in a heap and spent much of the day on here and relaxing. Tomorrow I have to go into the rat race and do all of my Christmas shopping in 37 degree heat, aren't I clever to put my head in the sand until now 😳😏 I hope your back is easing up a bit now. It's not long until your son visits 😁💜🤗
@Shaz51 it sounds lovely to go for a holiday to visit hubby's son. I think that would be a good break for you 💜🤗

Oh 😢 @Shaz51 I hope you enjoy your time at home and get to rest your body a while and heal a bit. I think I'm right to think you would have liked to go away or have I assumed this incorrectly?

Your puppy is adorable. My parents have a kelpie - he's beautiful too!
@Former-Member
This is my little fluffball. I'll also delete after you've seen him - too many people know him 'cos he goes everywhere with me!

Yay @TAB. No turning back now. Good job. I hope tomorrow isn't too hot although I suspect it's a bit warm there. They've changed the forecast for Monday from 40 to 29 yaaaay I hope tomorrow's drive is good. Probably easier to get an early start. 💜🤗
