I just had to tell someone

    I'm so happy you were able to get out and see the sun @lottie2007 and you should definitely be proud of yourself! It's a really lovely day for it too.

    You should be proud!
    I like to garden when I'm able to motivate myself...but sometimes I can only do the back as the front garden sometimes feels too outsidey and scary and I cant face it... :)

    I totally no we’re you are coming from the back garden is my sanctuary as it’s closed in but as you say the front is so open 
    the only way I can explain it is like being in a fish bowel and everything is going on around me 
    have you sat in the garden an clear your mind and listen to the birds it works wonders if you listen hard enough you can get the different birds I laughed when someone try it and it definitely works may help you

    Hello @lottie2007 Oh dear, why have you had a stressful one?  I hope your night is better.

    I'm doing good thank you, plodding along through lockdown helped by cups of tea and biscuits!

    Glad you are good 
    been filling in so many forms page after page it just wears you out snd most of them don’t make any sense oh dear sorry to moan but it’s nice to have a chat 
    we watching Xmas movies with hot chocolate and naughty chocolate biscuits 
    cats curled up beside me 
    you have a lovely evening

    Yes it does wear you out.  Your hand starts to ache from all the writing, doesn't it!  Don't forget if they are benefits claims and you need any help to ask our community.  We'd love to support you.

    Well that sounds like a lovely plan for the rest of your night, I'm going to go find my cats too soon.  One of them had some teeth out last week so he's not been very well, but he's on the up now :)  (and getting very spoilt, being fed roast chicken!)

    Take care and talk soon.
