Good thanks.....hating lockdown....turned me borderline alcoholic having to homeschool my son but other than that, I'm all good thanks :laugh:

She’s in 5th year (17 in a few months!!)
She’s had a rough time too.. she’d been having counselling for anxiety and depression, and was starving herself... then lockdown happened and she’s now like a new girl! Like us, I think it allowed her to completely relax for the first time in a long time and all the pressure of exams, friendships, school, boys etc etc was taken away.
She’s flung herself into her studies and is generally just a happy, normal teenager :love:

:laugh2: I did no home schooling whatsoever.. even drink wouldn’t have got me through that! My two did a couple of things online but apart from that we just chilled and drank and ate

...weird, isn't it...how something can have such negative impact on some, but can be just what is needed for others...it’s also given that time for her to be able to talk to you all about it so that you’ve been able to go forward together....for her, just being able to have some of those stress layers removed and the distancing from those layers has meant that she’s been able to reach her family more easily...I’m so glad that she seems ok, it’s so tough for siblings as well when illness becomes such a part of the family...:hug:..

It's like an episode of Loose Women in here.

Yeah, it has a huge impact on siblings :sad:
How are you? Did you have a nice Christmas? :love:

Bagsy not being that awful Nolan woman

...the important thing is that you’re all having this opportunity to realise it and take those steps now to ensuring her future well-being as well and you’ll all share that care together..and it might have taken much longer to get to that place, had there not been a forced slow down of pace...out of the worst things, can come such positives...

...yeah, it was as good as we’d hoped for but very contactless and hugless and I’m missing that so much...

Hello Lee.:wavey:

Welcome back to the Forum.

Young?! Oh we did miss you :lovedup:

It’s been a very odd year to say the least, but it’s looking up for me now!! Hope all is good with you :hee:

I’m not a cuddler really, (social distancing, another positive I’ve found) but I REALLY want to give my wee mammy a cuddle.
And I didn’t cuddle my kids for the first couple of weeks of lockdown just in case I had picked the virus up at work and I found that really hard.
Here’s hoping the new year brings some sort of normality.. can’t see it being soon though.

You could never be the awful Nolan.
Not in a million years Lee.

Thanks 😊

There's nothing wrong with Tennessee or Kentucky.:hmph:

Louisiana on the other hand.:hehe:

Glad to hear things are looking up!
And yes young!! What are you? Like in your 20s now?
I’m genuinely old! Like apparently I need varifocals now?! :laugh::

Oh hey joey ... and thanks 😊

Lovely to see you back Lee.
Great to hear about Samuel being a hormonal teen with sweaty armpits.

God the day anyone on here is like Coleen Nolan is the day where I'm using the ignore button.:joker:
