    AnWsMum and hollyh yes very relieved, I think it might have been more to do with me pointing how much his whole lifestyle would change.....or possibly just that when he'd be home he'd have to spend all his time with the children rather than doing as he liked (which is what his Mam does when she's home, doesnt bother with family) that clinched it. Moneys too attractive when you go in with £ sign blinkers on, talking £95k per annum plus bonuses, but as I said it's danger money, my old friend loosing his life just before Xmas last year proved that. Fingers crossed when his Mam is back in December she doesn't talk him into wanting to go again (she's who is behind the whole idea in the first place!! evil w*tch)

    Morning all.

    Hoping all the poorly and stressed ones are feeling better today.

    Mild and grey again this morning - am not quite sure what to wear for work. Layers I guess then things can come off and go back on again depending on the temperature in the office.

    Will do some flying when I get home

    Have a good day ladies
