Best Friends Club

hello everyone and thank you for the introduction to this space 😊

@Shaz51 that sounds wonderful and interesting! I knew someone a while ago who volunteered for that once and they said they enjoyed it

not many weekend plans for myself aside from trying to clean the house for an inspection this week and treating mum and I to some seafood her favourite

not many weekend plans for myself aside from trying to clean the house for an inspection next week, gonna organise a nice lunch and dinner for mum and I as well

@NightFury nice, hope the birthday party goes well! if not, hope you at least get to enjoy some cake 😋

@lonemushroom hope the cleaning goes okay! oo seafood sounds yum, is it like a seafood boil?

Thanks @rav3n , @lonemushroom , @Lisa17 , @NightFury

Will let you know tomorrow 😊

Then Sunday, mother's day with my husband family

@lonemushroom , @Lisa17 , we have a birthday thread, if you like a happy birthday on your birthday, let me know when your birthday is

I managed to get a cold platter that’s mainly prawns, salmon, tuna, crab etc which she tends to like simple so we’ll have that for lunch and then whatever we can’t finish will probably be put into pasta for dinner, the place we ordered from is quite generous and cheap so we’ll hopefully have enough to last at least a few days afterwards. she told me all she wants for mother’s day is seafood and a day off to relax so that’s what she’s getting 😅 unfortunately she can’t have boil as she became allergic to chilli a few years ago but we come up with creative ways to make do with that

Hi @Shaz51 Has been quite some time since I’ve been online. Days months years ticking by so quickly but trying to take it moment by precious moment. Not much has changed with my girl and I. Still only communicating when needing money and 6 long years of not seeing her. The heartache is a constant, flickering away in the background and other days smack bang in my face. I try to just sit with it as much as is possible for me and let it be. Autumn so far is wet and chilly damp so garden gets my attention when the drizzle stops long enough to potter. Slowing down with the aches and pains of ageing wishing I’d prepared my body better for this stage of life but that was never really advice or a conversation had with anyone when a younger woman. It’s all good. Hoping you’re well Shaz and thanks for the tag. 🙏❤️🌹

@Shaz51 is it a mother's day lunch with husband's family? hope it goes well!

@lonemushroom cheap and generous serving sizes!? so good!! sounds like your mum will have a lovely day. oh nooo that sucks about the chilli allergy, but i'm glad she can still enjoy seafood!!

I love your new pot @Shaz51 teapots that is 🤣

I have been "a patient" for medical student exams. One student wasn't working it out so ended up hyperventilating for 15mins - the examiner was impressed I managed to hyperventilate the whole time. I had to keep lying down for a while after the student left I was so dizzy 😂

It is really interesting and needed by students - so thank you so much for doing it, to train the next generation of doctors.

Mother's Day, not being a mother, is usually a bit lonely (I used to go to Mum's but now I live a few hours away) This year I am going to do a Mother's Day Classic 5km run or walk to raise money for breast and ovarian cancer

Ohhh @Krishna , sending you lots of tender hugs my friend 🧡

I think of you lots every day xx

Just mother's day morning tea @rav3n

But D1 and grandson can not come now as grandson has rhinovirus

@Shaz51 Shazzy my sister, I hope it goes well tomorrow and that you are comfortable. So nice of you to help the students this way. I'm sorry for not being around much. But you are always on my mind. Lots going on at home with kids activities and work. My therapy is going well and I'm trying to let ho of things. Lots of hugs my sister 🤗. I'll be watching for news to see how things improve specially with your health xx
