  • Sorry to hear about your present situation but if it is any good to you keep positive.

    I am not one for slogans but my daily calendar has a saying a day and today it says that luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet. How true.

    With the right attitude you will overcome!!

    Thanks guys - it was a bit of a manic few weeks - I got a really good job as a PA in Perth, so started that on 15 Dec, so in the end i just went to my parents on Christmas day - and I've also met a fantastic guy and been seeing him for a couple of months, and saw a lot of him over Christmas!

    So after a fairly horrific 6 months it's all turned out brilliantly - I'm so happy with my new life! Came back from my parents on Christmas night and had a few glasses of wine and a little happy cry to myself that everything has turned out so well for me! And a lot of thanks to the people on this board!

    Great news Alyth so glad things are going so well for you.How lucky are you?
    Think there might be some truth to the old saying "everything happens for a reason".
    Booo!!!

    Thanks Violetta, I hate that phrase but it absolutely true - the phrase what goes around comes around, is also apt given what I'm hearing about ex and his new girlfriend who he moved into the house the day I moved out!

    Happy new year to everyone!

    I believe totally in Karma I thought it was just hippy dippy stuff when I heard about it but time and time again it's happened, bad stuff to people that have done bad to me, stuff that I would never wish on them .
    My dad saying is "whats for you-ll no go by you"
