I got rescued by my knight in shining armour and I'm home with my boys.
So glad to be home but I have to say my care has been amazing and I have no complaints about anything.
I will now sleep for a week.. 🥱
@MartinSLewis In the years leading upto retirement check your state pension using HMRC app. Check your private pensions, get quotes for retirement. Find out how soon they need forms in to claim. Make sure you have an emergency pot of cash to cover any problems with payment of pensions.
TELL US: What had no one warned you about when your retired, that you would now warn others about?
Please post your replies here, and do like your faves, and podcast producer Simon will collate those to be read out.
Quiet evening (as usual) ahead of very busy week. Early start. Take the bike to that London. Meetings in Dartford, Dagenham, Barking, Croydon, Chessington. Hotel in Paddington. Posh parking for bike. Then meetings in office the next day. Then ride home
I've been in for over a week & this is the worst I've felt & the most unwell I've been. Still stumped all the docs but got several scans in the next few days. They've had to withdraw my IV fluids to stop masking some of my problems & it's left me as a dehydrated zombie. 🫠
@Steph_BBandT Oh Steph. Sorry to hear this. Hope they get to the bottom of the problem soon. You need to be at home enjoying your new house (& of course B, B, & T) 🫂
Thanks for the well wishes, sadly not getting better, worse if anything. Every single time I eat I have a severe tachy episode leading to vomiting & going unresponsive & then the crash team runs in. I'm on SO many meds I'm barely functioning but the staff here are incredible. 💪🏼
She waited for me. Overnight. I had to get the kids to school, then I could head to her.
She waited. I arrived, held her hand, talked to her. Kissed her forehead. Maybe 10 minutes. She was ready to go.
Then she stopped breathing. I held her hand.
Baked my first ever sugar free cake this morning!
At 0100…
Because I totally forgot I’d told a colleague I’d bake her mum a sugar free cake 🤣
Hopefully it doesn’t taste horrid. 🤞🏼
If it makes YOU happy, it doesn’t need to make sense to anyone else.
My Christmas tree is still up in February because every time I walk past it, I smile. In a world that rushes to ‘move on,’ I’m choosing joy over the calendar.
Keep what lights YOU up.
Your happiness is the only approval that matters.

I’m fucking screaming
WEVE GOT THE HOUSE
😭
The dream new build I’ve wanted for us for so long. At one point I only had a chance of a nice house like this through my marriage and his income and now I’ve got one for Ralphie and I 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@BigBearF1 Many years ago we had a charity day where you could wear hats. I wore a pink feather headdress. We got hauled into a meeting & had the riot act read to us about some work we had been doing. Very hard to concentrate dressedlike that 🤣🤣🤣
@Steph_BBandT I'm a ScanNCut girl - I even bought one to use at work so I can make signs, & cut bits out for the groups we run. I'm a vinyl addict & cover anything & everything in it - tshirts, bags, etc.
I sold my car a couple of weeks back and treated myself to a cricut with some of the money, and I'm so glad I did!
I've made a few of my artworks into stickers and I've made these for my front door. So much fun to use and so satisfying! ✨
