Oh my angel, i have had a few good christmases, mainly on my own :D, i so wish i could show you a party where you where not scared and could relax, maybe when you move into your new home, you and the girls can have a happy christmas next year, just the three of you 🙂
Oh the poor little thing, it is not good having social anxiety, i am glad her cousin is comming over, i am sure the girls will have a good time.
My birthday, well, i usually sleep the day away, but this year, i think i am going to treat myself to a cheese platter, and maybe some chinese, it will be just mum and me. Maybe go out and visit dad at the cemetry, a little ritual i do most years.
OMg kitchen again, i know what they want to be when they grow up :D, i am sure one day they will make great Chefs
OMG iceblocks with fruit, how spoiled!!!!!! i used to get frozen cordial 😞 how times have changed 😄
my angel, how are you today? i hope things are going as good for you as yesterday, i so loved and enjoyed hearing the happyness in your writing. it gave me so much joy.

My angel, that sounds like the perfect solution, maybe even tell her to sell some stuff to pay off the loans? i think you have made the right compromise, and i am so proud of you not allowing others to push you around. you are so smart, i never thought of that, you should be so proud, you are helping family when they will not help you and you are doing a good deed.
I am so proud of you for making sure the girls have some structure and fun times in their new home. i am so sure you are all going to be happy their, even thinking about it brings a smile to my face 🙂
and i a msure the party will be a great success, with you as their mum how could it not be a fun party!!!!!!
I know my angel, i so wish you could be here for it, smoked meats, Jarsburg and camenburt, and maybe some grapes 🙂
my angel i am ok, feeling really good, you have really lifted my mood the past 2 days, you have made me happy, the only thing bringing me down is this heat 😞 maybe time to move to the north pole 😄

Oh yes, the nights are aweful, i have had a desk fan going all night for the past week, the AC is horrible here, i can't wait for the new one on sunday 🙂
Oh my angel, that is terrible, especially with a 10 year old, if she is on so much money where is it all going? you are such a nice sister, i hope she remembers this nice thing you are doing for her. i know how it is KAren, the love/hate relationship with family, i have been their, once i even had to go without food to help a family member out. i understand family loyalty.
i do hope she gets her act together, for her sake and her daughters sake. i am sure with a smart sister like you she will be ok, it might be good if you could help her budget? a life long skill, i do hope one day you can be close to your sister.
Oh my angel, i will eat so much cheese, i will even take a photo for you 🙂
hugs my angel, have i told you how amazing you are lately?

Oh my angel, that is terrible, she does need to look after her money better, things don't make a person happy, you are right, i have everything i could ever want and i am not happy, only your kindness and allowing me to be your friend fills me with joy.
Always the simple things in life. all the possesions in the world would not make me happy, but sitting in a coffee shop with you would make my so happy.
please be carful Karen, if their are drugs involved, she does not use drugs does she?
my angel, you really need to teach her how to budget, you should make that a condition of helping her out. she will benifit in the long run. who knows it might make you both closer as sisters 🙂
my angel, you seem to have a very level head, you have thought about it and helped the best way you can, i am proud of you Karen, this is the first time you have made the choices.
hugs my angel, you are on the road to getting back on your feet. you are a great sister, a loving mother and a caring friend, is their anything you can't do?

yes my angel it would be good especially with all the reno's, maybe just make 1 morning a week where you make phone calls, over time you may lose your fear of phones.
my angel, you are making progress at a phenominal rate, from when we first met you have done so many wonderful things, moving forward all the time, just some days slower than others 🙂
you will get their in the end, i know this for a fact, you are awsome 😄
ok, well i just hope she sorts herself out, you don't need the extra stress.
My angel, i know your appointment is tomorrow, that is why i am going to be here supporting you all day 🙂 i will hold your hand, you will have nothing to fear.
hugs my angel, no point worrying about things until they happen, i know easier said then done. just enjoy the moment with your girls, make a big afternoon out of it 🙂
