Mmmm, nothing beats a good homemade soup @Former-Member. Not up to much this weekend. Was a hectic week, so am doing have some me-time tomorrow. Might paint my nails and watch movies.
What are everyone elses plans for this weekend?
My partner is going away in a few weeks. I'm kind of looking forward to having the house to myself, but also worried that I'll get scared. I've not lived in a house on my own. I've only lived in apartments with lots of people around. So I'm pretty nervous!

Hope each forum member has had a good week and look forward to learning what your friday night feast is. Best wishes to each one of you for a pleasant and fine weather weekend. Cheers from Bimby2.

Regarding enjoying time alone @Former-Member I always have the doors locked, even during the day. Only someone with PTSD would understand that, I think. I've had someone make fun of me for locking doors during the day. They have never been attacked.
