Hi! Yep, you’re right. I did start a fun thread about spirit animals, as I was trying to lighten things up! Smotheoffive, I’m in Oz so your gain is our loss!

I'll lighten things up for you OP.

Firstly...I finally have enough income to go home to the UK for a visit. After three and a half years in Oz!

Secondly...my play has been funded and will be performed just before Christmas here in Australia.

Thirdly....my DD who is a young teen has blossomed here in Oz...after struggling socially in the UK she has over the past 3 years here, built a bloody wonderful group of friends. Genuinely nice kids...lovely kids actually.

There. All nice. :)

Potatoesaregreat · 18/03/2019 02:26

@HennyPennyHorror that is so nice, more nice than I expected or wanted, made water appear in my eyes...

Henny, great news all round! Congrats on your play- must be great, Spuds, I feel my spirit animal is probably a meerkat. There is a bit of fun quiz on the internet about Harry Potter patronises which may help you identify yours if you have a spare few minutes. I am a stag! ( Puffs up with delusions of importance).

Jeff Goldblum - character actor, was in The Fly, Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Thor Ragnarok.

I ask because my go to cheer up video is of the Jeff dancers stomping through a dance routine in homage to the actor himself.

I think the thing is everyone’s got a problem. and unlike the old problem pages in a magazine it’s not just 2-3 posts it’s 100s every time you look.
See also Facebook support groups.
It’s encouraging me to cut down social media, so every cloud.

My positive - my baby just slept for 7hours before waking for a feed. Longest sleep ever. Hooray!

Tinkerbell456 · 18/03/2019 02:51

Monty, I love a glass half full outlook!

In late breaking good news, my husbands new phone just turned up. In even later bad news, it left again because I couldn’t sign for it as he had to.

Potatoesaregreat · 18/03/2019 03:15
