  • Hey Cha, Just popping in to say hi. I'm still lurking on here, but don't really have time to post at the moment, and I don't really have anything interesting to say anyway. Back to work a week today, so just sorting out everything for my return.
    Hope the kitchen work goes ok and it would be lovely to meet up again sometime x

    hello :)

    sorry to pop up with something completely off-topic, but I really like the quote in your sig, about giving up on being perfect. Can I ask where it is from?

    So sorry to hear about your the robbery - must have been a v v v scary time - no wonder it still troubles you!

    Have you not thought of trying counselling again - through my work I know Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is meant to be good for such anxieties/fears. It is available on NHS, but long waiting lists - maybe try and get a referral.....

    Hope the kitchen work goes well!
