@Former-Member Your dinner sounded like it went well and worth the effort of going, it's a shame the pain spoiled some and caused lack of sleep. Try to get in some rest over the weekend, gain some strength. Some improvement with your daughter would be a relief, always treading on eggshells by the sound of it. Most people don't change unless they want to, some don't see the need, a hard one. 

Im a very honest person, extremely quiet and so called friends walk once they have what they wanted. People scare me in the real world, I've found few to be honest and upfront. I'm very selective now, keep much to myself. My best friend is my little dog, she never leaves my side.

Today I looked after my friends dog. She has her sister in hospital. She had open heart surgery and was in a coma for 6 weeks. She woke up 2 weeks ago, but has a long road ahead of her, she's had a stroke, so needs to learn to walk again. She visits her most days, so I look after the little girl. She's delightful and good company for me and my little one. The cross stitch isn't finished yet, but I'm going to buy a cheap frame and frame it myself. I have done many for friends and had them framed, but it's very expensive. I'm on bed island at the moment with my electric blanket on, yes!!!!! Sleep well.
