Anyway , here's my update.
My son had his engagement party last week and here is a family photo

Donna's mum and dad are on the left and we're in the middle.
It was a lovely night and Donna made a big tray of cupcakes.
I've got a few needlework projects on the go - all pieces I can do in work.
My eyes have improved to the point where I was confident to buy new glasses - DH bought some too.
Work is frustrating - a lovely new pharmacy with good workmates (probably why my health is so good - no stress) but so few customers that it's quite probable that if it doesn't pick up , we'll close. I'm not being complacent however and am still jobsearching , not least because the two bus journey is a bit of a downer. I don't get home till late and don't see Ellie during the week when she's at school because she's in bed by the time I get back and I'm up and out before she gets up.
Wish life was simpler.
The weather at the moment is glorious and with the closed air travel , very quiet. DH went to Portsmouth with DD this weekend and they took the hovercraft out to the Isle of Wight - I was working yesterday (Saturday)
