Hello gorgeous @Bow thank you for your message, squishys back 🤗🤗🤗
It went well, I hope to hear next week, I have everything crossed.
Feeling flat, dealt with Dads ashes and helped Mum deal with paperwork today. Think I'll go and curl up in a ball in bed and take your squishys with me x

Hi @Anastasia , sending wishes for you and your family's grief, and your sleep...did your Mum agree to you coming along to her doctor's appt this week?
I've had another 2 super-busy days, but today I can stay home and get some stuff done hopefully. I want to tidy the house so as to try to keep it "up to date" with tidiness, if not cleanliness. I also want to rest...we'll see. I've hardly had time to do any reading or walking in the last week.
Is it still raining there? 😞
💚☕🌞

Hello dear @Anastasia , you've been quiet and I hope you, your boy and your Mum are coping OK...
This is not pressure to post at all, just a note to say you're missed and I hope things are manageable.
I wanted to tell you some good news: my left hand is totally healed, my right hand is nearly healed, and my arms are slightly improved.
Sending hugs, wishes and 💚

Wow @NatureLover thank you for your good news, which really IS good news 🌟
Is it the ring, or just you being ultra diligent, or a combination of both?
My ring hadn't arrived yet, I wonder if @Bow 's has?
I'm ok. I'm absolutely exhausted. Morning work and training my replacement with everything else is just too much, but what do I do? There is an end date so I'm focusing on that. I'll be pleased that both my morning assistance and my employment ends on Friday of next week.
Then I can focus on my own business as well as catch up on Mum's paperwork.
My boys doing pretty good and been a huge help with Mum whilst I'm stuck at the office.
Hugs and love and I look forward to juggling less balls and being more present here in a week's time.
