@Chasingsunsets aww thanks for your kind words xo

I just looked up Bougatsa. I am going to hunt some down when I am no longer fasting from sweet things!

@ENKELI oh my stars. I would cry as well.

That behaviour selfish, emotionally immature and manipulative thing to do to you.

It reminds me of your mean former-friend with children.

I hope he doesn’t choke on his dinner. 🫤

Here have my favourite mutant

@PeppyPatti professional house cleaning is quite a skill. Have you got any tips or tricks for the Forum?

Gee @Glisten that question stopped me in my tracks. I only think ya gotta study when you clean houses …or ………..have a goal you should finish…..

don’t know how your work can consume you ? Well just surviving consumed me and not drowning.

My life began in the mess left by mum . In those years, I was focused entirely on survival, and iv realised……I was very … self-obsessed

What am I left with . I’m left with trying to work out how to say sorry to my adult children that I didn’t hear their feelings.

. I cleaned houses and worked as a cleaner at places like PMH, what a great job.

2 weeks ago. a respected psychotherapist I saw at my cafe said I could have "done better" than cleaning. . “Hang on,” I said. “I am incredibly proud of myself that I cleaned for people.” I gave even 5 minutes of happiness to people….and I never ever stole anything. They could trust me. .

I cleaned every day, some years, and that paid for things like tutoring for both my sons since Grade 3. When I did it, it wasn't "cool" and we did all the after school stuff.

So today, both my sons work hard . It’s that my sons are now working hard and they don’t need me. They both have , independent lives. That makes me incredibly proud. I miss them a lot but they do manage their lives:

I do see where I went wrong. I blame myself about they weren’t listened to. that my 31 yr old sons can’t get in a relationship. He doesn’t have his licence.

I’m here for you @ENKELI

walking with you. Making you a cup of tea.

Sweetheart.

@PeppyPatti you are an amazing wonderful person ❤️

@ENKELI there's an idea for my 600m^2 backyard. too many mozzies already though

Rarely hear outiside noise here. ok rubbish truck,next to no pedestrians as dead end st

went for walk after dark ,tonight,saw 3 cars on main rdsection,nothing on the rest.

So no dogs,no idiot neighbours, wellthey feel constrained enough and are just far away enough to forget they are there, even the place withpeeps who stay up all night every night

Cats gorgeous @TAB
