  • Sometimes it happens that way. Everything at the same time. It will ease eventually. Good luck with the interview :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    Thanks DIA - much appreciated as I want all the luck I can get with this! :)

    You are absolutely right - the end of last year was a kind of fallow time with little going on, and now things are moving, but the pace will change again. Also, I was just saying to a friend that I'm finally realising it's not the number of things you have going on, but whether you enjoy them or stress over them that makes the difference. I officially decided I don't care about a couple of the work related bits, they are much lower priority than my personal goals and so even though I'm not doing those things as well as I could - that's absolutely right.

    As we said, if it doesn't support my real goals it doesn't get any* of my time :D

    I'm thinking that I want to sort out doing some exercise now that life is calming down a bit

    And healthy eating?

    Maybe even healthy eating not pre-calculated by Messrs Marks and Spencer...

    You can't believe a ready meal when they say they're healthy. Descriptions like that are about as believable as dating profiles...

    Now you're exaggerating. I can see ready meals on the shelf and exactly what's there through the plastic just by shifting the outer layer. I don't necessarily want dating profile photos without outer layers...

    :rotfl:I immediately discount any profiles which have photos with inappropriate lack of layers, yes...

    It could always be worse.

    And I am thinking Borat here of course... :eek::eek::eek:

    So what interests you in a profile?
