I had a very busy day as I also had 3 visitors @Cuddlebear. when I first joined the forum I was very isolated, and appreciated practicing being social on here, and gradually got used to it in real life. I learned to express more rather than be so fearful. It really helped. Its good seeing you “talk “ to others too, gives the forums a good village atmosphere.

My darling @Dreamy I had no idea. It's so blo...... Unfair that rents are so expensive. Congratulations for staying strong. You have a second name it's - 

Proudly resilient. 

Can you put those two words together? Maybe you can because I feel that about you

@PeppyPatti its definitely unfair, especially when you aren't even given the option of getting government housing cos supposedly i can afford private rental on my disability pension. If I could afford it, I wouldn't be limited on having to choose between paying bills or eating. But anyway the system is so messed up just like alot are. But I'm lucky that I was able to reason with them this time around, but I do worry about when the lease is up for renewal again cos I know they'll put it up again. 

Awwww thanks beautiful, you're always full of such kind words ❤️

[PeppyPatti]

@Dreamy you and me possum. 

I'v been noticing that if I didn't have a dog, I wouldn't be leaving the flat at all. 

I'm struggling with that word ' hyper vigilance,' and learning to embrace getting older that the 5 years have brought me.

Hey @NightFury can I join ? I used to absolutely love University. I remember the absolute relief of the day you hand in an assignment and not wanting to ever read it again. .. .....

Good stuff @NightFury @Oaktree @Dreamy @Appleblossom @tyme @TAB @Glisten

@PeppyPatti what are you joining?

[Dreamy]

@PeppyPatti I'm glad you do have a dog then. They make such a difference in our lives ❤️.

Age is just a number my sweet, I refuse to act my age. I'd much rather embrace the young and humorous side of me and be a big kid at heart ☺️.

[PeppyPatti]

😁studying was /is so cool.      .

I don't think mY brain can do that anymore. Also ......I never ever in my LIFE want to do another assignment.

Dear @Dreamy 

I feel sick thinking of how to survive. I live in public housing in a nice area. It's a big complex about 300 units but it's not that big. 

I get disability - I'm mindful of I go somewhere for a cuppa I pay because they are on disability but iv got a bit more money being me. We saved for a decent car and my Husband's Mum just gifted us father's car. So that's a huge savings. 

@Dreamy would you try and sell your colouring and quotes  on postcards ? 

They are really good.  .
