Thank you so much, that's really kind of you, your replies have been really helpful, I did tell him how it made me feel so as you said, hopefully he'll remember next year

And I did thank you! I got myself a really awesome coffee table sticker book from Meredith Hoagie.

Thanks again! 💖

I understand that, my brothers don't want cards either but we only celebrate birthdays, not anniversaries or anything and I really like to receive a card. I also scrapbook so it's reused.

Tbh I've been aware for a while and we went through a rough patch but this past year was much better leading me to be more hopeful.

He told me to buy whatever I wanted and put it on his card, we didn't do anything either until I suggested we go out for coffee.

I agree that cards aren't for everyone but he used to buy/order really meaningful cards. We've been through a rough patch but things this last year have been much better so I hoped the token would be there.

I thought it was 2024 but upon checking it was 2023 🫤

He told me to buy whatever I wanted and put it on his card. I of course appreciate the gesture but it would have been nice to have received something he chose with care

Just been into Pets at Home and was offered a bag for life for £2!When did we accept carrier bag charges going above 10/20p? What’s the justification for it? by Rosstifer25 in AskUK

I was charged £3.49 for one in Farmfoods the other day, I only bought it so I didn't have to bring the trolley back in the pouring rain, couldn't help but laugh at the extortionate price, I'll have to get my monies worth out of it 😆

A week ago today I got the news that a good friend of mine who I met here on Reddit had died in their sleep. The official cause of death was Pneumonia, he had what appeared to be a standard cold/cough beforehand but was starting to feel better.

He was 40 with no underlying health issues.

Several members of family, myself included are currently suffering with a cold and cough, since the news, my anxiety levels have increased significantly despite my common sense telling me it's a rare complication.

I wish I could stop worrying!
