2019!!

I can't believe its over 2 months since I posted...I have had a few really crap months!
Just after the last time I posted, I fell cracking my knee cap, adding to the already out of control pain I get in my knee. So between working & house life I fell into a depression. I really struggled to drag myself out of it. Just as I was starting to see the light, we had to have our beautiful 15yr old greyhound put to sleep....we have had him since he was 5 weeks old, so life without him is real strange!  Then Christmas came & went, it was ok but no eldest daughter at home as she decided to stay at Uni until new year. She came home on New Years Eve & spent the night with us. Then I made another horrible decision, I left a job I absolutely love! My knee just wouldn't let me stand behind a counter for 8 hours straight, without putting me in bed for the following 2 days!!!
So there we go, fingers crossed 2019 is better!
I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas & New Year xx
