  • Have done nothing since coming back from town exceopt play with my new phone :), am going to walk to work, then straight into a HHC at 1:30......

    Catch you all laters xx
  • Hello again peeps

    I've been MIA for several weeks now as I got severely overwhelmed in every department - am currently off work with stress/depression but am finally starting to feel the clouds lift a little so I thought I'd try to get back on track.

    Have just finished my OU course, which was a pig and the major cause of my freaking out, and i'll find out in a couple or three weeks whether I've been chosen for redundancy or a different job - this has been hanging over myself and my close friends since April and then the powers that be wonder why we're all down :confused:

    I'm trying to turn a corner, but the main thing I'm now struggling with is my concentration seems to have gone AWOL so I'll be participating in the HHCs but I might have to split them up into 10 mins at a time til i'm back on track.

    Glad to see the old faces still on here - sorry I'm really out of the loop in what you're all doing but I see that pigpen has started uni - that's fantastic.

    Hope that old friends and new are doing well and I'll hang in as much as possible

    I'd rather be watching CSI!
