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.

You know it's probably not you personally @TAB. It's more about not feeling like joining in if you are not feeling social or a bit anxious. I've run away before on these threads when it's lots of banter but never because of anyone but because I couldn't cope with it at the time. It's all good. The forum needs it all.
On that note I'm going to love you and @Zoe7 and leave you as I'm knackered with a huge day tomorrow and I think I've hit over 40 posts so now getting rsi. I have written most posts from my phone. Some from my iPad.
Wishing you both a good night and pleasant dreams. Sending hugs 💜🤗
