Thank you for your comments, Sally, and I'm glad I didn't disturb you. Yeah, not exactly a quiet week for you - but I meant, that's what you were trying to achieve and I added to the upset. (Or thought I did!)

No need to apologise for your feelings. I appreciate that we are good friends who can be honest with each other.

I do appreciate all you said, and I have other feelings, too. They can all live together in my head because I see both sides. I don't like 'bashing' either - hence, deleting my second post. And I also see it as okay to bring up issues that are of concern.

I discovered that money wasn't the main issue; it was the symptom of deeper issues that have been upsetting me and many in our community. That's what needed to be discussed, which I did in my post late yesterday.

I hope you've had a lovely day and that you enjoy a peaceful evening. Still a few days left of the week, and fingers crossed there will lots of 'quiet' in it! 💜
