Hi there! Gosh how are you doing? I was worried about you! 🤔
I'm doing good thank you. Moping time over and it's back to spreading hope and hugs. We are all a lot happier and home is a lot more settled and relaxed.
Wonderful! Sometimes starting over is a great start to a new life! Positive thinking!🙄
Hey hey, glad to see you back. Will defo give this a bash!!
Good to be back and I look forward to it. I have a lot of catching up to do!
Can't wait to be reading your stuff. I hope you are in a much happier position!!
You ain't missed much except for the usual It's a scam! The guild's are evil! The guild's are good! Bots are evil! Bots are good! I'm leaving! Etc etc etc.
But all the good regulars are still here :0)
Wohoo great idea!
Welcome home @hopehuggs.... Hope everything is in order, we have really missed you.
Thank you, that's really sweet, I've missed being here.
HEY @HOPEHUGGS, count me in, thanks for starting back so soon, what a lovely surprise. Good to have you return.
Glad to see you back here. Hope you are doing ok. I've resteemed this post, and I'm looking forward to another round of this competition - and I returned some of the last winnings you sent me, because I felt it was too much (although it was greatly appreciated).

Thank you that's what is being used to fund this week competition, as I need to build up some steem this week! I had 100 more Steem than expected to, but history doesn't extend far enough back to see who it was! I think I know who though.
I thought it would be better to share it around than keep it all :)
Also, if you check this page, it has all your history, direct from the blockchain:

Cheers. Still lots to learn. :)
It is really lovely to see you back. I hope we see a lot more of you and it is fantastic to see the Runaway Rhymes return too.
My entry is below. It helps if you sing it like an irish folk song :-)
