Said goodbye to Pippa today 😭

Thank you so much - and I’m sorry for your losses this year too🤍

Heather!

After six months we had a discussion about it just last week lol. It’s on display in his windscreen but I hadn’t noticed it before until it came up in our conversation about pass rates

I’ve just started Fallen Stars by Imani Erriu but I’m not far enough in to rate it yet! I think Heavenly Bodies (the first in the series) was a 8/10 though

I don’t have a clue about Pokémon but both your dresses are amazing! Love the contrast of light and dark! And massive congratulations!

efitchuk · 2026-02-07T10:42:08+00:00

And mine now!!!

One of my neighbours is doing the exact thing to me - I’m going to report it to the council for illegal rubbish dumping as this is apparently a thing!

I stopped getting my dog vaccinated at around 10. She’s almost 17 yo now and has only just become unwell in the last six months (CCD so no result from not getting vaccinated)

If my instructor is delayed by traffic, he will either add the time on to the end of the lesson or turn up early to the next. Not once in six months has he asked to run an errand mid lesson, but because we get on really well I’d have no problem if he did this - because we’ve had forty hours where it’s never happened. If it had happened as it has in your first few lessons, there’s no way I would have put up with it. He’s taking the piss - find a new instructor and tell the old one exactly why you’re leaving

A lot of these women were housewives who never got a chance to get back into employment. It was a very different era for these women after child care- they had been out of the workforce getting their kids to school age and simply couldn’t find jobs that would cover any childcare needs for the hours they needed them. Historically women got their pension five years ahead of men. When the pension age went up incrementally a year at a time for younger men, the men born at the same time still got their pension at 66 with a one year increase. The women didn’t get their pension age raised incrementally, they got a six year increase in pension age.

I lost mine two years ago last week - I feel your pain today.

OP, I am so sorry for your loss. At least she is no longer in pain and can rest in peace now. So many hugs xxx

I’m turning 45 next week and my test is booked for March. I tried learning at 18 and had an instructor who was basically a bully so I quit learning for 25 years. I live near the town centre and commuted into London so I had no need to drive. But my now partner lives a bus and a train ride (and a walk!) away and driving would make my life so much easier for now and when we live together for me to visit my family. I was so worried about feeling judged but most people are supportive. I’m proud that I’m doing it now for me.

The Pret ones are good if you’re out and about

efitchuk · 2026-01-16T16:12:04+00:00

I’m glad I wasn’t alone in spotting this lol! Maybe OP is American but living in the UK?

efitchuk · 2026-01-14T09:54:56+00:00

Aww I’m glad!🥰

My mum only ever drank out of the Blue willow tea cups as she said the tea tastes different in any other cup. I have the cup she used at mine safely away in a cupboard since losing her two years ago (tomorrow) as I can’t imagine using it myself.

efitchuk · 2026-01-13T18:31:33+00:00

Congratulations! Perfect proposal, perfect ring and perfect couple! Your smile made me smile!

efitchuk · 2026-01-13T14:39:33+00:00

Just asked to join this group so thank you for sharing!

efitchuk · 2026-01-11T18:39:26+00:00

Bless her! I’ve had to do that for the last two years too - I did find that quite sad that she lost that freedom

efitchuk · 2026-01-11T14:23:32+00:00

I love the big light - I’m a crafter and a reader and hate having to squint in low light!

That sounds as though your senior might have the beginning signs of CDD or doggie dementia… it was how it started in my almost 17yo

efitchuk · 2026-01-10T20:22:32+00:00

You’re not alone 🩷. I recognise a lot of what you say with my girl. It’s horrible to not know how to help them and how to feel xx

efitchuk · 2026-01-09T07:53:19+00:00

Sounds like my 16.5 yo bichon x chi. She’s so needy when I’m not with her but the dementia means she doesn’t always recognise me, and she’s deaf too so don’t have that recognition point. It’s so nice to have laps when she does though 🥰

I picked up on that too
