Hello, I’m new here

I’m in my mid sixties and just had a  WLE for breast cancer. I live in Central London with my husband and occasional pampered budgie. Often described as stoic in the face of long term health issues, I am now feeling a bit fed with it all. I told my sister I would like to be a room with lots of cardboard boxes to kick about and jump on. The next day DPD delivered a consignment of flat pack.
