    So sorry to hear your news Froggy, sending you lots of (((hugs)))

    It has been such a stressful period for you with IVF, that can rock the strongest couple and with being far from family/friends it can't help.

    I hope you can find a way through it all whether that means working it out to stay together or moving forward on your own.

    Afternoon all

    I am alive.. Appreciate all your kind messages & hugs..

    Its been hard but we'll get through it.. We remain good friends so its a major bonus, and there's been no arguments or fights, and it will remain that way..

    The hardest part so far has been telling family & friends, and comforting them.. Weird I know..

    We are both living in the house together, until it gets sold.. Then OH will move down South, and I will find a place to rent in or around Manchester (probably closer to work)..

    My boss has been very un-sensible - charming I hear you say - I could have comfortably taken a couple of weeks off sick, but decided not too and be professional..

    On MSE news, I sold a board game on Amazon and made a tidy £21 profit.. i ahve also withdrawn £4 from GM earlier.. All monies made from now on will be put aside to furnish the new place..

    Table tennis was a write off last night, we lost 9-1 :o

    Thanks again for all your support - I really appreciate it..

    Cheers
