    Evening all,

    Back at work for me today and shattered. Fell asleep in the chair sitting up tonight and went to bed but couldnt sleep.

    Going back to bed now, head hurts from crying. Friend from school died on Monday from breast cancer, she was 38. So sad for her family.

    Politics, I know I should care more but I dont.

    Hope everyone is ok.

    ((((Hugs)))) Bunny, I'm so sorry.

    I've always taken a bit of a head in the sand approach to politics and have only really started caring in recent years. I *think* I know who I will vote for, but just wish I was more sure. I need to spend more time reading about policies and form some proper opinions, but it is very difficult to see past the spin sometimes.

    Will go to bed and read Nineteen Eighty Four and see if that puts me in the right frame of mind. :rotfl:

    Yes, she has been turned down again, so is now going to tribunal, but it won't be until August.

    We got a copy of the Doctor's report and as we guessed he had written stuff that wasn't correct and was just his presumption, rather than actually asking Jade whether it was true or not!

    Oh I'm sorry Tenmah, more stress.

    Does anyone know anything about car insurance? If I'm supervising a learner and they have an accident, does I lose no claims? and if they get points on their license do I get them on mine too? as I'm technically in charge of the car?
