I feel like I'm pulled both ways in this, because in life I'm a fairly logical, evidence based person (eg from doing a science degree), but I always approach murder mysteries with 'what tropes and themes of the genre are at play here' which is hugely more vibes based 😂 I need evidence based vibes!

She made us mini versions when we each moved out, and frustratingly I've found the tree but haven't yet discovered which packing box the decorations ended up in! 🤦🏻♀️ I'll have to do some focused searching this week 😂

That's so lovely 💜 ours as kids was a fabric Christmas tree wall hanging that hung on the door (didn't quite fill it, but almost) that had 50 velcro spots on it, and there was a box of card/felt/etc decorations mum had made, and my sister and I added a decoration each per day. It was so sweet!

Yes, my friend has 'to-done' lists which are exactly that, don't write it down til it's done, then it's immediately ticked off. Brilliant.

I mean, arguably a wise piece of advice? 😂 whenever non ME folk experience my normal symptoms, I very much assume it's because they're ill! And even if not...perhaps rest is required? But then, I like to nag, especially family - you may not want to play it that way with your bf 😆

Gosh I'm so sorry you had those issues. It's all too common. And thank you - rather than having been injured I'll admit I've just lived a life where I can't go out. A big ol nature nerd, just sat at home every day🤦🏻♀️But thank you, I hope the same for the scooter, and the same for you with your chair 🩵
