    Except her Husband has to be back at work and will not be in the good books..and in fact as much as she wants to catch up with us all another week with her in laws might push her over the edge :rotfl::eek:

    I did a really pathetic thing today. I passed a managers course at work and was invited to receive an award. I thought it was just going to be the people on my course, but when I got there, it turned out they were celebrating anyone who had acheived anything throught out the year.

    There were loads of people there and being extremely shy I just thought I can't handle this. So I told one of the ladies organising it that I didn't want to go through with it and for some reason I started to well up.

    They must have thought I was mad and the only person ever to have fled from an awards ceremony in tears!

    How stupid. I was always told I would grow out of my shyness but I seem to be getting worse as I get older.

    Tenmah I can understand you wanting to leave, that overwhelming fear and feeling sometimes is just too much. Have a hug hun and you shouldn't worry about it

    Well it won't be the end of the world for us..we can go another time...although it would have been the last chance for the kids to go with Dad flying them though.....
    Bummer will be if DH has to go, and they embargo staff travel so we have to stay behind. Still ,on the bright side, one of my mates is having a NYE party that I'll be able to go to...;)
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
