The room feels enormous! The cat is decidedly unimpressed though; her usual perch on the back of the sofa, roasting gently with her nose on the radiator, is gone forever!
Tis an impressive amount of loose change I've read dh the riot act though; change comes out of his pockets before he parks his arse in future. Trouble is, he won't put change in his pockets in the mornings because it's too heavy and wears holes in his pockets. So every day he changes yet another note and comes home with vast amounts of change ...
Hecate, I'm really sorry about your gran. Filling the void with food is understandable, you know - when something is missing in our lives, when there's an emotional void, it's very often food we turn to to try and fill the hole.
Can you meet that emotional need in some other way? Long, hot bath, get your dh to rub your shoulders for you? I know that it's easier said than done, because I know that it feels like a physical need to shovel food in - but you know that it won't fill the emotional hole, and you'll end up feeling worse in the long run.
