    What a great job that is! Do you get free :beer: while you are working?

    Well done on getting to Newcastle :j A beer and beans diet for you for a year then :D

    Maty I would never have had the courage to actually make this move (which is making more sense everyday - or maybe I'm just dizzy from painting the ceilings!) if they hadn't made me redundant in March with a big pay off.

    Just have a think about whether you are doing what you want to do and what you do actually want to do.

    Hello all you quiet people...

    What's going on? Where are you all? Have you all snuck off to a beach in Littlehampton and are sitting there with your hankerchiefs knotted on your heads, trousers rolled up and eating fish 'n' chips? And if so may I play too?

    Things are on a more even keel here: mum is out of hospital and seems to be improving, DD is away so there is a little more space and lots less washing (just as well as it's not drying recently) and I can't do any hoovering as DS has borrowed the Vax for his g/f's house and not returned it! :D

    Mike, is that you under all those boxes?

  • Just popping in to see how you are all doing. It is very very hot in Spain, 92 degrees f in the house last night at midnight. Unbearable!!!! Left my husband at home and he is not enjoying the wind and rain, should have come with me! Hope everybody is ok and Mike are you still unpacking boxes?

    Best wishes

    June;)
    yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift thats why its called the present ;)

    Miggy - How I wish I was in Littlehampton, on the beach, with my knotted hanky :cool: Glad to hear your Mum is on the mend at last :T

    Maty - would it help to consider how you would feel if each of your options was dumped on you with no choice? Which would you resent? What would make you feel relieved?
    Not an easy one, especially with time pressure and I suppose there are drawbacks either way. It's just a matter of finding what's right for you.

  • Gosh you lot are all very quiet!! I'm back-ish from the festival, had a lovely weekend. Just going for lunch with friends before I drive back to Herts. We were lucky enough to have good weather, with just a bit of rain in the night.

    Hope everyone is well x
