    Are you winning that battle LMC?

    Buffy - Do you want to clean my tank out? I've not done it for months, there's only 2 fish left and a loach - all over 4 years old now and refuse to die...typical really as I want rid of the tank.

    Tenmah - that was a lovely post - the support on here is amazing.

    In the past year I've watched DH go down hill, I've watched DD2 start secondary school and I've watched DD1 turn into an amazing young lady (well not always quite so ladylike..) I think I might have done a runner if it hadn't been for this place, so I blame you all :p:D

    I got a postcard from her this morning :D It says... 'Having a nice relaxing time here in Provence. Very hot and today is nice and breezy. Stuff, stuff, stuff. Take care Beanie xx'
  • He quit his job in Afgahn and is home next Saturday, with currently no job though there is a chance he might get a job for the same company in Dubai.

    A year ago I was enjoying my build project at work but hating the organisation I was working for and it's blame culture / old boys network. I had recently split up with someone I really liked but in reality was going nowhere with. I have been made redundant, tried not to panic, enjoyed the summer, applied for and got a place at Northumbria University, and met the most comfortable man I have ever met in my life. In the next 2 months I will let my house, move and hopefully get a relevent part time job - I am bricking it TBH (However I have given my book 'The Big Leap' - all about how to take a risk - to charity!) I have to do this before my money runs out.
