Don't get blown away today!
I've not yet joined my local swimmers - I need to find my cossie and the wetsuit I ordered has too long legs so I look like Nora Batty.

I know it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but we had to have our beautiful cat Fuuko put to sleep last week - rest in peace lovely x

Sorry to hear that Tatty. It's heart breaking. Sending hugs.
Thank-you - we had her individually cremated, just got her ashes back today in a beautiful casket
Our pets are our companions and friends, along with our human ones; Fuuko was something else - so clever and so adept in manipulating our behaviour; she used to tell me when my husband was arriving home from work (despite various nurse shifts), she knew the sound of our car's engine and was waiting by the door!

I truly wish all of you the best of everything - through adversity comes strength (and I'm not just talking about the cat - we know who we are). Merry Christmas - take care you lovely people xxx
You did the right thing, hold on to that
. They are such big parts of our lives and we love them so much but we have to know when to let go xx.
Well, it's been a heck of a year, hasn't it?
I lost a friend to suicide this year and another who is very close to the edge is still hanging in there.
I must admit, I have run out of things to do to keep him hanging on, but he is. So we must be doing something right. It is a struggle, though.
Another very dear friend died in 2020 because Covid halted her cancer treatment and her loss has left a very deep void.
However, the new year is now on the horizon and new shoots of growth will soon appear when Spring comes.
Fairy lights twinkle and bring some light to our darkness and even though Christmas can be terribly difficult for some of us to get through, it does bring some sprinkles of magic dust with it.
I hope everyone is managing to plod on as best they can.
I may not have posted much lately but I am still here and do pop in, so if I can help anyone I will do my best.

Exactly, thank-you; she's still in our hearts
Sorry for your losses - I don't really know how you get over that; perhaps we never do.

I don't expect anyone here to tell me that they haven't been born from the ashes - you're here and speaking about it. Survivors - stay strong, and be true to yourself and those you love xx
My Dad died when I was nine-years old; diabetic, type 1 - his heart failed during a kidney transplant. Such is life - he lives on me and his four grandchildren

Anyway lovelies - plans for Christmas might need a little tweaking; keep safe and enjoy the time with your loved ones Lxxx
Depression is a terrible thing - you think that you've got over it; then something happens that tips you over the balance; fighting so hard against it - never want to be in that black hole again

I suffered from depression many years ago and kept a packet of tablets in the drawer. If I ever felt like I was getting the symptoms I would look at them and promise myself I was not going back there.
Such difficult times. You sound like an amazing friend but make sure you look after yourself too.
Morning everyone 
I've finally got some time on my hands and I'm not sure what to do with it..lol!
Just come in here to give a big squidge to anyone that is struggling right about now - this is such a hard time of year for so many!

This is such a difficult time of year for bad news but my uncle has just died and one of my breast cancer group has been diagnosed with cancer again...in her bones. 
Welcome.
Its when tit keeps happening - a person struggles to deal with one tough break and then more tit happens.This is such a difficult time of year for bad news but my uncle has just died and one of my breast cancer group has been diagnosed with cancer again...in her bones.
It's a constant battle isn't it?
They feel like they are constantly being punched to the ground and kicked when they are down.
Lockdowns make depressives feel even worse.
All we can do is keep going and do our best to give them hope that it is worth them keep going too.
How do you get someone to get professional help when they keep refusing??
Its doing my head in.
Just make the damn call to 111 or the GP.
Bloody lockdowns.
Bloody variants.
The bloody "science!"
Let people get their lives back FFS

i'm so sorry, she was incredibly beautiful
She was indeed - I've loved all my cats, but Fuuko was special; used to give me a high-five, waiting at the door when Dad came home from work - irreplaceablei'm so sorry, she was incredibly beautiful
I think that caring about your pets is a good example of love; they don't know that - they just know that you look after them; and miss them when they're gone
We named him Finn McCool, kindest most wonderful dog we ever had - he came to us via re-homing; and with a heart problem.
I held him close when his heart was failing and the vet administered the final dose
Still breaks my heart

I am determined to not be in that black hole again - been there, don't want to go back.
I'll sort this, because I have my husband and children to look after
