Looking up!

Note to readers (my lovely Baggees): For the avoidance of any doubt - every character in this blog is me!!! No Baggy was harmed in its writing.

Baggy's daily state!
Depression (Black = really bad/Grey = not great/Blue = okay/Yellow = sunny day): Yellow.
Anxiety (From 1 = barely any to 10 = gibbering wreck standard): 2.
Tears: Yeah.
Pancakes (Yes/No): Might have - okay yes!!

Weight in her terrifying naked state (Stones and pounds): Lots of curvy bits.


Well Baggees, this time Baggy's vanishing act is not because Hormonal Hannah is bringing her down, it's because she's been really busy having a lovely time. So busy having a lovely time in fact, that Creative Clara totally forgot to take photos! Clever Bird hesitates to let Clara write this out loud, as it were, but Hannah's depression really seems to be under control at the moment. So much so that she's wondering about cutting back on the happy pills. Now no panicking caring Baggees, Clever Bird won't let her do it without talking to the doctor, but it does go to show what a good place she's been in. The anxiety on the other hand, rather up and down, so for that reason the 'happys' are probably going nowhere yet.

Some of this is due to Baggy's stress being lowered. Or maybe a lot of it is due to that. Regular Baggees will know that Hannah was feeling very guilty that Calum works so hard and she earns nothing, but that's no longer true. Creative Clara's various little enterprises are beginning to make a profit.

First, the holiday cottage will shortly be making a profit for the first time since it opened last year, which is very exciting!

Second, Baggy's little Etsy shop, Realuv, is doing nicely as well.

Plus the first Brocante is very soon and her little vintage cabinet is making a little profit! Meanwhile Clara is getting on with her novel, so that's all positive. But, and this was rather a surprise to Clever Bird, due to "stuff", it became necessary to increase Baggy and Cal's loan. The only way to do that was to close the old loan and take out a new one. The old loan had a ghastly interest rate on it because Baggy's credit rating wasn't great - why? Well ironically because she didn't have debts or credit cards!! Having had the loan for a year and paid lots of interest, Baggy's credit rating improved dramatically, to the point where the interest rate they were being charged reduced by over 10% to a very reasonable rate!! Moral of the story, take out lots of interest-free loans, and pay them off regularly! Clever Bird might, re-re-finance in another twelve months. Weird world, when having debt is a good thing!


Last weekend Baggy's sister came to stay for a few days. The pooch was delighted to see her, and so for the first time ever were Hinge and Bracket, who couldn't get enough of her. A Furry Mama could have been hurt! But it was lovely to spend time together and copious amounts of wine was drunk. Fruit scones and clotted cream, might also have been involved. Not to mention Victoria Sponge cake. And Easter Eggs. And Cream Slices. And... Ah well.

They did attempt to walk some of it off at Dunwich Heath - spot the deer (again).


But frankly, they'd have to have run a couple of marathons!

Meanwhile, Pepper is on the second level of his immunotherapy treatment, and it seems to be helping, which as hayfever season is upon us in little old Suffolk, that is a relief.


Gloria Gardener has also been busy clearing the new bit of land and planting some wildflower seeds. And very kindly, it's rained every day since, so as long as they haven't all been washed away, they might actually sprout! Fingers crossed.

So all is well in Baggy land, and it's a long weekend, so number one furry will be home tomorrow! Yay, Happy Easter Baggees........
