Our wonderful daughter is a month old on Sunday. I couldn't imagine life without her, she is truly perfect!

CyberNan · 12/03/2020 00:12

lol presumably you are not suffering fear, hunger and war... ?

wtf do you need other people to cheer you up. ?

what more do you want from life... ?

be grateful that the only thing you are suffering is potential corona and bad weather..?

Here's a lovely story for you: www.unilad.co.uk/animals/fedex-driver-delivers-familys-lost-dog-home-after-she-escapes/

@CyberNan,

...be grateful that the only thing you are suffering is potential corona and bad weather..?

That's unnecessarily harsh.

Am sure plenty of posters are having to cope with hellish RL difficulties in their private lives.

May not be "hunger or war", but there's plenty of fear involved with, for example, a loved one's very serious illness.

Perfectly possible to care deeply about global concerns, yet also want an occasional respite from multiple MN threads on c.virus/ bad weather etc.
They're not mutually exclusive.

I've just had an email saying 3 for 2 on everything in Ann Summers.
Time to spice up the bedroom action!

Spring bulbs are blooming and the sun is shining. Ryanair refunded my flights to Italy

I may still get to fly to Florida .

We celebrated our DD2's 8th birthday on Monday and she's really excited about her party which will be on Saturday. Her excitement is infectious. Smile

Yesterday was four years since I received some test results about having a faulty gene that will most probably affect my mobility - in four years I haven't noticed any changes and life is still pretty normal Smile

QuinoaWest

you are quite right, there are people suffering "hellish RL difficulties"...

isn't it marvellous that those people are living in a first world country and have options to improve things

happy enough for you?

Finfintytint · 14/03/2020 02:12

CyberNan.
What’s wrong? You ok?

Hmmmm88 · 14/03/2020 05:50

The first tulip is out in our garden
I don't have to clear up the mouldy toad spawn that a colleague has on their desk AngryHmm

Doobigetta · 14/03/2020 06:34

@CyberNan so everyone has to be as miserable as you, that’s your mission? Nobody is allowed to try and stay positive?

rainbowstardrops · 14/03/2020 06:40

Bloody hell @CyberNan! You might want to go back to bed and get out the other side!!!

orangejuicer · 14/03/2020 06:46

U ok hun?

Isthistrueor · 14/03/2020 06:58

You won’t get coronavirus and even if you do, you’ll survive. HTH.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 14/03/2020 07:47

I've bought my first house and am supposed to be signing for completion next week. (Hopefully!)

It's wiped out all my savings and I don't know if I will be able to move as soon as I expected depending on what happens with Covid but I'm very happy that I will soon have a secure home for me and DS.

Price of petrols gone right down here in Ireland.

Bore off @CyberNan who pissed on your chips? Stop trying to derail a nice thread.
