#litsylove @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I'm sad to say I'm going to have to limit who I can reply and send letters to. My rent has just gone up by a whole £100 and it was already high. Anyone who'd like to add me on Facebook or Email are fully welcome to. I hope to write when I can. I'm really sorry to those I miss. Sending my love. Happy reading and writing 📖❤️✍️🏻

Jari-chan I know your situation all too well 😕 Feel hugged if you need one ❤️ 1y
hannah-leeloo Thank you my friend @Jari-chan 🫂 1y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks No worries!! I know everything is expensive! 1y

AnnCrystal That's too sweet! Here I believed that pen pals were a thing of the past.

Rent! I believe that unregulated landlords are everybody's core problem. That and the seemingly endless requirement that a credit card be handed over for almost everything...

Hang in there, everyone seems to be experiencing the same struggle with high rent.

AnnCrystal Thank you! Oh, that sounds like so much fun! Unfortunately, I'm afraid that I haven't the time to commit just now. Perhaps one day...oh, that is tempting though. Thank you. 1y

It‘s here honey …xxxx

DGRachel That‘s amazing! And such a huge relief, I could just cry. I‘m so glad it arrived in plenty of time. I hope you are doing okay. Sending big hugs (as long as you don‘t mind me sobbing on your shoulder at the same time…LOL) 3y
Mitch @DGRachel it has been a time of much much sobbing. You‘re most welcome to join us xxxx 3y
DGRachel Hugs and much love to you and Mel, my friend. I‘m so sorry you are grieving. Consider opening the big present in the box early and imagine it‘s hugs from across the pond. 3y
