    Hi guys, sorry I haven't popped in for ages.

    Stacy - really sorry about the break up. It is obviously going to be a horrible time but things will get better.

    Jen - your work situation sounds like it is still a nightmare, hope that they give you some time off to do the training.

    If it would have been the other way round you going out and buying a new laptop when you owe him money i bet he wouldnt be happy about it either! I hate it when men say your trying to cause an arguement when all your doing is trying to sort something out.

    I hope you can sort out the money he owes you and the house situation without too much trouble.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm sorry about your boss Jen, I think you should challenge her if you feel well enough to.

    I'm sorry about your situation Stacy, I can't imagine what it must be like, I'm sure you'll come out of it stronger though.

    I'm back from Barcelona, it was nice but because we did so much in such a short space of time I'm exhausted, and I'm backto work tomorrow *yay* lol. I got your cards too mm :). I've had another couple of packages arrive which is great, though one is missing an item so I'll have to sort that out, I wish the items were all there because I'm a bit paranoid they'll think I'm trying it on.

    Thanks mm. OH text me a while ago, apparently his nan had a bad stroke whilst we were in Barcelona, she's still unconscious and they're not hopeful. She was found several hours after it happened so if she comes through this she will probably need to be looked after 24/7. I offered to drive OH to the hospital but he seems to be taking it surprisingly well. She was in quite good health for her age and no one would have seen it coming so I'm wondering if he's in shock or something. If he isn't he's dealing with it infinitely better than I ever would.

    In more cheery news more of my supplies have arrived so I'm making jewellery. I want some of the other stuff I've ordered for some of my ideas, but I'm still having fun :).

    Aww sorry about OH's nan Nicki, that's so sad.

    Jen you may be worried about not being strong enough, but if you wait until you feel you are, it may be too late. Anyone can see just from here she bullied you, I say get some support from close family / friends etc and go for it.

    Thanks MM, another course of antibiotics so hopefully will start to feel better soon.

    Thanks you two.

    I've been able to make some nice things today, I'm itching to take pictures to show them off but it's so grey here the light isn't good enough. I really do need to get a small light tent & some lights for when the weather is like this but money doesn't really allow it at the moment.
