  • My God. Thank you so much Jowo and daska. I really do appreciate your support. I'm going to sit down tonight when the children are in bed and go through every point in your earlier post Jowo and work out how to take each area of my life forward. I never thought I'd meet such amazing people on here. Thank you.
  • I must just add, thank you to Jowo for the Eleanor Roosevelt quote. That's quite bizarre; I began hand painting glasses recently as I enjoy doing artistic things like that. I painted a couple of oversized wine glasses for a friend of mine and her husband who have helped me considerably over the last few years and who are basically just good friends to me. On my friends glass I painted a long tall silly cartoon figure with a quote from non other than Eleanor Roosevelt: 'Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart'.

    And here are two more I've just googled and love from the lady herself: 'A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.' (VERY TRUE!) and

    'Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.' This last one should be the strap line for this website!!!!
