Hi. Sorry to hear about your situation. I do hope you'll consider seeking financial assistance. I had to for hospital bills. Hope things get better for you.

Hi @Lurker66 thanks for your post.
I feel really embarrassed to ask for help especially finances. I feel like a failure.
hi @rav3n @Jynx @tyme @Ru-bee @Snowie @Shaz51 @Emelia8
still have a headache. We helped our son and girlfriend move today. Up early and hired a truck. He’s about 50 mins away from us. My other son is about 35 mins away and my daughter is about 20 mins away.
Home now and need to sit for a little bit. I’m stuffed.
Been having weird dreams that have been unsettling.
not cooking tonight. I actually feel sick with this headache.
should check my BP as it could be high.
seeing a dr on Tuesday.

Hi @BlueBay
Today must have come with lots of mixed emotions. Being proud of your son but at the same time knowing that you are going to miss him a lot.
Hopefully this afternoon and tonight you can just have some down time and look after yourself.
I hope your headache eases.

Fires near us has been downgraded which is good @BlueBay
Still got smoke from a fire a fair bit away. Just the way the wind is blowing.
Been cleaning all morning so just taking it easy now.
Glad your headache is easing hon. Hopefully taking it slow helps.
Have you got much planned for tomorrow?

hi @Snowie
possibly catching up with a family friend for coffee
Bunnings - I want to get my son a tomato plant and a few herbs so they can plant in a big pot.
i think I might do the lasagna for Xmas day and freeze. The way it’s done. On Tuesday I’ll make tiramisu and jelly for kids. I’m trying to be organised so I have less to do.
glad the fire has been downgraded. What are you doing tomorrow??

Sounds like a busy day ahead for you @BlueBay but very productive.
Hopefully you can catch up for a coffee.
Certainly being organised for xmas day is better than leaving things to the last minute. I've been trying to do that too.
Bunnings is always a good place for plants. Thats where I normally go too.
Not much planned for tomorrow. Cleaned half the house for xmas day today so might do the rest tomorrow.

Hi @Snowie how are you today?
this morning I went to buy fresh fruit and veg. I got there at 8.30 am and there was no car park left and shop was busy!! But glad I went today and not tomorrow.
I was feeling very tired and cold before. Had a nap this afternoon.
hi @Lurker66 @rav3n @Jynx @tyme @Shaz51 @Emelia8 snd others
hope you’re having a nice day

Glad you got what you wanted today @BlueBay No doubt the shops were busy. Sometimes early is the best time.
Are you all ready for Xmas Day?
Took mum to her Doctors appt. before. A trip that should have taken about 7 minus took over 20 mins by the time I found a park. Crazy people everywhere.
Am avoiding the shops tomorrow.
