How do you think the Uk will change? or is it too late for me to ask that cos it is after 9?
Not sure about that one, SW!
Think we will have to wait and see. Not sure whether there will be another election soon, eithr - they are talking about agreeing a fixed-term parliament.
And I was impressed with the way Gordon Brown left Downing Street. They don't give them long to change over - wonder who packs their undies and everything?"What does not kill me makes me stronger". Frederich Nietzsche, 1844-1900.0 -
Goodnight Jinny. Have a good sleep. I hope it goes. You have just quoted Scarlett o'Hara. You can dress as her in our reunion.

I think we all do sometimes.
I know I do.
What have I got to show for my life?
A house I really cant afford to stay in & a Kevin the teenager.Mmmmmmmm.

That's very deep for this time of night, SW.
I have degree certificates, also. My highest is an MSc!
I was holding everything together when I was at work (I did have quite a responsible job but would rather not give more details in case it identifies me - people I used to work with could read this) - it was only when I retired that my life started to fall apart. I had been living a lie for so many years, denying that I had financial problems!
And I am NOT very calm - just good at putting on a front (because I have been doing it for so long!)
You are doing nothing wrong - so many people would give an arm and a leg to have a quarter of your caring and compassionate nature!
And I do question myself - all day, every day!
