Hi guys Anyone just wanna chat? Share a tea or coffee? I remember there was another thread but it seems to be gone @Faith-and-Hope@utopia@Former-Member@Pepsimax@BlueBay@Owlunar@Mazarita@Former-Member@eth@CheerBear@Phoenix_Rising@Shaz51@Former-Member@Adge@Shaz51@Bimby2@Former-Member@Ney@Sans911@Former-Member@soul@Former-Member@Queenie@patrickT@embers
Hey @Catcakes - I've noticed you around and wanted to say hi. There used to be a "Just checking in thread" but I can't find it. So I'm just checking in I guess 🙂
Hope the day has been ok for you

Re: Anyone feel like chatting?
Thanks @CheerBear, Bit up and down today. Managed a walk with my partner and we worked on cleaning up the garage a bit. My youngest got home from holidays which was nice. Some worries tonight to deal with...

Re: Anyone feel like chatting?
Up and down days can be a bit tricky @Catcakes. Walk sounds good, as does cleaning the garage a bit. Does that mean you are a little closer to having a painting corner?
How long has your youngest been away for?
Sorry to hear you have worries to deal with tonight. Are you ok?

Re: Anyone feel like chatting?
Thanks @CheerBear, I guess I’m ok. I’m still a way off painting. My son finished school for good and has been away 10 days. He had a fun time with friends. I’m just wondering what I’m going to do about Mum, she’s really not managing on her own. Might have to bring her to my place again... not sure

Wow that's a big achievement for your son (and you) @Catcakes.
It would be hard not knowing what to do in terms of your mum, but knowing she isn't managing well. How do you feel about her staying with you?

Re: Anyone feel like chatting?
I don’t mind @CheerBear , having Mum here but she’s too weak now to climb the stairs ( where the bedrooms/bathrooms are) so last time I made her a bed in the lounge and she had a wash in the downstairs toilet/bathroom. Not ideal for a longer stay.

I'm ok @Catcakes, bit flat, but thats not unusual. My cat is screeching to go outside. So I'm making coffee, put him in the harness & go out for a bit. It's cooling down now after a very hot day
