    Ermmmm, I’m torn really. I actually think it’d be good for her - she’s such an introvert, it might be good for her to be renting a room as it might mean she’ll socialise a bit more. But she’s my baby .....
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I totally see your dilemma! It's so hard... But you've done an amazing job of raising two intelligent, strong, powerful (and beautiful) young women. Trust in the job you've done, then fill the spaces with more rescue greyhounds!
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    More puppies!!!! What an awesome idea!

    So, as I’ve been feeling slightly under the weather all weekend, and as I’ve got the house completely to myself, I made the decision to have a chill day. I’ve been reading a book in the garden all morning and now I’ve just got to decide whether to continue that strenuous occupation or watch Warehouse 13

    Warehouse 13 is wicked! Definitely watch that.

    I’ve booked an osteopath appointment for next Wednesday, to try to sort out my hip. Should be interesting - he is the only man I’ve ever met that can make me blush. He’s just got this lovely way about him that makes almost every woman in the vicinity melt He doesn’t even know he’s doing it lol and it works on all ages - my mum, me, Katie and everyone else I know that’s been to see him!

    In other news, both my twin nephews (aged 15) have come out, which has had the effect of getting Jess to talk about her sexuality at last. It’s been about 4 years since she told us she’s gay and, other than the very occasional comment, she just hasn’t wanted to say much. Not that it’s something that needs ‘discussing’, I just didn’t want her to feel she couldn’t talk to us. But she even mentioned something in front of Katie’s boyfriend the other day so it seems she’s finally comfortable with it all

    I hate the fact that anyone has to “come out”. You don’t get straight kids sitting down to have the conversation explaining that they like the opposite sex.
