    Thanks Beanie.

    Can't say I am very happy there! Everyone knows each other and it takes me such a long time to get to know anyone that I feel the outsider all the time.

    I don't like the location either and having to get the bus, so all in all I am very unhappy there.

    I went to a retirement do yesterday for about 6 of my old colleagues who decided to take early redundancy because of the new restructure and the way they were treated. It was lovely and great to see my old colleagues again although the first thing I heard was one of the ladies I used to work with had died on Monday, so spent a lot of it in tears - at one point they raised a glass to her and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house.
