    Hello,

    Have just skimmed through posts since yesterday so still don't know what has been going on.

    Thank you for all the lovely wishes. It wasn't too bad, I just hope that I wrote enough and did't get my calculations all messed up. Didn't manage to reconcile my variances but hopefully managed to scrape some points from them.

    Really really tired now. Need to go and do my dog walking shift so back later but might be early night for me. Byeee.....

    Glad it wasnt too bad Marru.

    Im sure it was fine and if you showed your workings that will help as well.

    Hope the dog walking was good and that you have a relaxing evening

    'tis true. We don't get to pick our parents. Have you ever read "A boy called it" by David Pelzer? It's a the story of a man who was physically and psychologically abused by his mother as a boy.

    The thing that struck me about his story was that at the end of the book he says he wouldn't have changed anything about his life because if he did he wouldn't be the person he is now.

    Don't know why but that just stuck with me. Sometimes the struggle makes us stronger and all that.

    ... sorry for talking rubbish:p:o

    You are not talking rubbish.

    :A you don't talk rubbish - I've often thought of reading the book but to be honest I'm a bit scared.

    Thanks for reminding me of it - I might be brave and read it.

    I am currently going through a lot of emotions as our business that my husband works in is closing which means we are having to negotiate with the bank for the business debt to become a personal debt :( also dh is looking for a new job (down south) so we are going to be relocating back to where I am from hopefully but I have 3 children to sort out a school for (as well as letting ds school know that he will not be back in September and my twins will not be taking their places after all and I absolutely love that school :(, a house that needs working on and loads of 'stuff' to sort out for storing etc. and all with no money :( which is why I know that normally I would be throwing the wine down my neck to 'blot it all out' but am doing my best to take a different approach....

    Hugs to you 69chick
