The last time I had a massage I was told I had a lot of tension in my shoulders... I had 3 kids under 5 and two mental teenagers add to that a useless husband.. yes, I had a 'bit' of stress

A lot of nostalgia on my timeline, well, I went to see Buddy Holly on Saturday. That'll be the day!

My sister-in-law's birthday was 21st September, this song always reminds me of her. She was taken by cancer 4 yrs ago, she was in my life from the age of 7 ( my brother is a lot older) I kept in touch when they divorced in the 90s. Blimey what a ramble 😀

Hi, I've not been on for a while. I do miss connections though. So, how's everyone doing?

belated birthday wishes to the lovely Groupie. ( who I think shares the same real name as my daughter!)

Large artwork, mid century scandi style cats in green and orange on a pale lilac background. Cut out areas in the cats contain abstract floral shapes

Large artwork same size as other and framed similarly with a thin strip of wood. This one is more like a patterned carpet design, in purples and pinks

Trying to work out who these artworks were by that were in my school which opened in the mid 70s. Anyone got any ideas?

Seriously, since my husband left me the only time I've had a hot drink made for me was in hospital.

I wish someone would make me a cup of coffee.

My kids had an olaf from frozen and it used to randomly say... I can't feel my legs. The Christmas after I bought it I lost the use of my legs.... oh how I hated that doll.
