Yep! And given that I was a single mum a lot through my child-rearing years, even with five kids at one point, and juggling five part-time jobs as well (how on earth did I do that??!), I've just never been one to need All The Things. I got used to having what was necessary and sometimes some lovely extras, and did what I could with what I had.

Always managed to have decent homes for my kids, wherever I was.

Sending you big hugs, my friend. How are you doing?? 💜💜💜
