Today saw two more fundraising achievements. The Life of Mique fundraising total went past £1200. This is down to the wonderful and generous support of everyone, and showing just how highly regarded and loved Monique is. The kindness and support shown to me personally, not to mention new friendships being made, is truly humbling. Just being able to help in some small way is my absolute honour and I will continue for as long as is necessary x Secondly the two Little Wing packages raised a very decent £80 for Joanna Jonathan and the ALK+ Europe Charity Trust. Freya North who wrote the book is going to send a couple of signed and personally dedicated bookplates making it a very special package for the two winners…

I’ve got another couple of teddies ready to be sent out tomorrow. One of these is heading to the USA, and it’s amazing that the support for Monique has not just made it into mainland Europe, but across The Atlantic too.

It was a pretty decent day at work. Having had to leave the forklift outside the unit on Monday night, today I did manage to park it back inside again, as a result of taking a van load of orders out, and also loading up again all ready to go out tomorrow. It’s been quite a busy few weeks, but I have got it under control at the moment, which makes things a lot less fraught for me. This afternoon there was a power cut at work. Prince didn’t seem too bothered by it! More bothered by the camera as he does not like having his photo taken!🤣 It meant a slightly early finish and I wasn’t complaining…

One of my challenges from seeking help and support last year was, and is, to try and live life in the present, and I am pleased with my progress in this regard. However, when it comes to something like relationships and dating it seems impossible in my mind as to how to do that. It’s been 3 years since my last date, so I can’t even blame the pandemic! So, as there hasn’t been any “present” for years, I really seem to have just the two options in terms of thinking, which are, to either look forwards or backwards. I think the balance I aiming for is to be open to any opportunities, whilst not allowing it to trigger or send me in a downward spiral. So here’s a question to end with for anyone who has got this far… Am I dateable? Until tomorrow x
