    loved our chat Fay, your more than welcome to call again, or i could call you.

    I would say that you're a breathe of fresh air rather than a bit nutty, but then i think we're all borderline nutty because we're facing up to the horrible reality of debt which a lot of people don't want to. We have to challenge what is considered to be the norm by not buying into things which others consider as essential or normal. Earlier this week i read someone on the main DFW board saying they still wanted to be normal and keep their sky, i guess that means i'm not normal because i got rid of mine years ago and hated it whilst i had it.

    the good news is...... i've just won another 20 squids on bingo britain so i can get diavalo under £2k! yay
  • Oh Fay, it seems like such a shame after all the work and effort you've already put in.....but if that's the right thing for you, then so be it. You must be absolutely certain that you're not going to regret it a way down the line though. Can you take some time away from it over christmas / New year and then reassess? :confused:

    I agree though, telling your eveil supervisor to stick his thesaurus up his behind might not be the best way of doing things. Now, putting it there yourself is another matter entirely!


    Hey EH - I think if I don't work the whole of the holidays I've no chance of succeeding - working things out today and plan to go and speak to one of my 'nice' supervisors this week - he's in charge of our whole dept and knows me well.

    The Orkney lot are on the whole really supportive (aside idiot chops) - but we're all at the stage of saying OK we really need ot move forward. I can't work any harder or maybe I've decided other things in my life are more important?

    Verdicts still out here - thanks for all your lovely comments though - its really great to know you're all out there!

    Alternatively, go and find idiot-chops and shove his thesaurus up his &%!$ instead. I still prefer that idea. :D

    Bless ta love - think am at a bit of a water shed - I can work over the holidays but I am not sure I 'want' to - I haven't spent any xmas time with kids for 3 years and last couple years I have been madly ignoring them by obbessivley writing and then I have to end upputting them on the plane to dads having spent absolutely no time wiht them at all.

    This year the whole two weeks are at home with me - I don't mind working a bit - but I think I'd need to kill myself to get it all done and to be fair it probably won't be right anyway - :mad:

    So thanks for all the lovely support

    Prob with me is I am not really a giverupper - never have been - never admit defeat!

    He normally talks complete carp anyway - so I think there's already a thesaurus up his rectum - maybe he needs a guide to treating human being like humans shoved up there instead??

    Hi Fay

    Just poping on to say Hi and hope you get your troubles sorted ;) I agree with the above but then the book would be called a "He has a sore harse"

    Take care
