Lynne the disappointment in your message is very clear, I'm sure any of us here will be suffering the same to some extent, be it a baby's first Christmas or possibly a loved one's last. I hope you and your husband can make the day special for yourselves if that is important to you. We will go for a walk locally I'm sure there will be many out, especially if weather is mild, I will put on my brave face and wish all we meet a better time next year.
my hairdresser is a mobile hairdresser and so business has been difficult for her this year as she works with many vulnerable clients, then her husband was made redundant,. A usually income rich pair will be struggling in the future.
I send every good wish Lynne and hope things won't be as bleak as you might think.
