Trying to go easier on myself, that's my small thing.🙏

To know whether to use Ricotta cheese that is 5 days past its use by date. And to make ... what?

Big worrier here too, really gets you down, and always thinking the worst thing possible will happen.
I envy happy go lucky people, just seem to sail through life, and tackle problems as they come along. I'm always looking for next problem😩. All my own fault.

LoveOc, Smileless, me too! I was always a worrier but it seemed to get worse with the menopause, then Covid put the tin lid on it!
I know I have lots to be thankful for, and I count my blessings regularly, but I still waken up early in a panic.
Kind thoughts to all our worriers.💕

Yes it is sad love0c and I feel ridiculous for doing it because it prevents us from enjoying 'the here and now'.

Smileless2012 It is sad really isn't it? I do go through bad phrases when many things all happen at once. Sometimes I am on an even keel. I do like to keep Kalms in, the daytime ones. I just take one on the day I need one and they do work. Calms me down. I jump when my phone goes, when out in traffic and Oh is driving. I think other drivers will hit us. Ridiculous really.

For my elderly cat to feel better! She has been poorly for the last week, and despite 3 trips to the emergency vets and a morning of dental surgery ( teeth being a possible but not definite cause of the problem ), her recovery is slow. I think she may have turned the corner, but I can't wait for her to get back to her usual grumpy demanding self!

Don't know. What would help you FGTs?
Some triple A batteries for my dog's soft toy. Icant be bothered to add them to my Tesco order.

Similar to you love0c but mine is stop worrying about the future and enjoy the present. If that's a little thing then why can't I do it?

Motivation.

We have a three story house and coach house to sort and pack as we are moving.

I’ve made lists, got boxes just lacking in motivation.

To stop worrying about everything and just enjoy the present. Is that a little thing?

Sorry FGT.

Oh Urms I’m thinking……..

Most of the things I ‘need’ are big, emotional and I can only do them myself!
