My Week
Grief
This week has been quite an emotional week, it was our 23rd Wedding anniversary on Saturday. A very weird day I went shopping and got an anniversary balloon to tie to his rosebush. Then had a lovely meal out with my family in the evening.
I was doing ok, until after the meal and I went into my bedroom and it hit me hard. The loneliness and feeling so alone. We always chatted over a hot drink after a night out and he was not there.
Tomorrow it will be 8 months, and it is scaring me how quickly I am leaving him behind.
Car
I am still having an issue with my coolant in my car. Last week it drained in a day. The mechanic who helped me with my old car popped out to see it on Monday. He confirmed it is ok to drive and he found the problem. I have ordered the part and once I get that he will come and fit it. For now I just have to keep it topped up but it is fixable
Blogtober
As today is the 1st of October it also means the start of Blogtober. I mentioned last week that I would be joining in to Blogtober challenge and my first post went live this morning. For this reason I was unsure about my weekly round up post but decided to to write this post as well. My first blogtober post is

It must have been so hard to have such an important day change with the loss of your partner. I do hope that your car is fully repaired now, and it’s one less stress on your mind.
My car is still not repaired hopefully will be on Wednesday fingers crossed
love following you journey – i love handmade gits at Christmas too
What a neat phone stand! I can’t believe it is October already – time is flying by! Hope you can get your car fixed.
The phone stand is great and perfect for all those who love the film
Love the Nightmare Before Christmas cable and phone holder.
Hope the part ordered for your car does the trick. Problems with cars take up a lot of head space.
Look forward to reading your Blogtober posts.
The Sally holder is great C loves it.
My part has not turned up yet but keeping hopeful, I had someone else tell me yesterday my car is leaking
I am doing ok on Blogtober so far
Love the contoller holder, great idea. It must have been hard for youn on your wedding anniversary . Glad your car is being sorted
The controller holder is great and C loves it as she loves the film. Saturday was hard an emotional but I did get through it and so thankful my car is being sorted
I’m so glad to hear your car has a somewhat easy fix. It can be super frustrating when something goes wrong.
So am I although I am putting coolant in daily now just waiting on the part to come through
Oof. Grief can be so difficult to manage. You think you’re turning a corner, and then you get punched right in the gut.
This sums it up pretty well
The controller holder is awesome. I will order one. It is perfect for Halloween, love it.
My daughter loves it
