I cannot believe it! Look how lovely these little girls are! They look like such fun! I love their smiles and the twinkle in their eyes! Happy 2024 to you and yours!

The fuzzy critters are doing well. Adjusting to their new home quickly. I’m glad. They do make us laugh quite a bit.

Glad to hear that your mum is handling the chemo well enough. I’m constantly thinking of you and sending my most positive thoughts to you.

Last year was rough. I’m hoping this year is better. We did have good peppered in there, and I’m greedy in wanting more good stuff.

I hope your holidays were good. Ours were quiet and that suited me just fine.

The girls are lovely, I am biased but I think they are gorgeous. That twinkle in their eyes is complete cheekiness lol.

I'm glad the fuzzy critters are adjusting to their new home, I'm sure they will bring you loads of love and happiness.

Here's to hoping that 2024 is a great year for you xxx

Hello to you! It’s been a crazy 2 months. When isn’t it crazy? Spring is blustering its way in. Rain one day, snow the next and then warm enough to go barefoot the day after that.

Happy belated birthday to you! I hope you got lots of pizza and prezzies!

Hiya Jenn,

I had a lovely birthday, but it was followed up 5 days later with the worst day of my life when mum unexpectedly passed away. The scanner the coroners use didn't find a definitive cause of death so they had to take samples which will take 12 weeks to come back. They are letting us have a funeral which we haven't been able to organise as yet. Then a mean woman from the council wants to throw me out of the home I have been in since I was 8 years old as I am now a single woman in a three bedroom house, even though my neighbour is a single man in a three bedroom house. Maybe I should become an alcoholic like him. I have my doctor and MP and two councillors backing me saying that for the sake of my mental health, I need to stay there as my neighbours are my support system. We thought I'd be ok as mum and dad were both listed on the tenancy, so when he died, we presumed they took him off and mum carried on, therefore, I could inherit it as you can do that once. But now they are saying when dad died, mum inherited it, but how can you inherit something you already had. My cousin is fuming and well up for the fight. My family say they will take them to court. We shall see, I am losing the will to live literally and am in danger of ending things. So, yeah, total shit show, should be grieving but got all this crap to deal with and really hating being alive right now.

Sorry for this post, but that's my life at the moment. I hope life is so much better for you right now.

Hi Jenn,

Thank you for you absolutely lovely words. I cried all over again reading them but they were lovely. Mum's funeral is on the 19th April and the celebrant came today to talk about the funeral. Mum didn't expect to die any time soon so she didn't tell me what she wanted but she did say she wanted the same songs we chose for Dad.

I have a councillor working with me to try to keep the house. She has access to higher management at the council and spoke with someone. She says that I have the right to request a new secure tenancy and they have to take my protected characteristics into account, which would be my very bad mental health. I have an appointment with the Dr to write a report about this which they have to consider. The nice councillor told me the things they need it to say and the Dr will do this. The neighbours are also writing letters about how they support me and don't want me to leave. I do have the best neighbours in the world. The councillor told them not to send me any letters before the funeral saying that they want me out. She really is very nice and I can't argue with the amount of support I am getting, but there are no promises, just like she says "a glimmer of hope", I have to cling to that.

I would love to speak to you, I do have facetime and thank you so much for your email. I will postpone until after the funeral if that is ok with you as I still have so much to organise before then. It would be great to hear your American accent.

Thank you so much for being an amazing friend, I love you loads.

Take care Jenn, Luv Caz xxxx

So glad to see your words. Please hang in there. You have all the time in the world with me. I’m glad you have a good counselor to help you and get those nasty letters stopped.

If you need anything, just let me know. I’ll be there for you. If not in person but in spirit.

Bless you Jenn,

I just need to get the funeral over and this house crap sorted before I can let go and start to talk properly. I'm looking forward to hearing your voice.
