Ouch - got my own words biting me back there. I am doing my best to remember myself the way I was before !!!!!! happened and believe that I can be like that again. Thanks Jo

This just reminded me of a dream I used to have regularly but haven't had recently (maybe since being AF as it happens). In my dream I would get a phone call from The University saying they had made a terrible mistake and I didn't actually pass my degree and therefore was unqualified to teach. Considering I graduated in 1994 (scraping a 3rd but still a pass eh?) that was a long time to be having panicy dreams about not passing. 15 years of not thinking I was good enough. Blimy.

Marru-you'll never be who you were again. No one will. You will have all the extra experience of coming thru a carp time in one piece to add to the fabulous person you were before. Therefore you will be even better!

Evening everyone, hope you are all well. Just wanted to send out hugs and virtual specially designed 'bells' earplugs to anyone that needs them.

Have a good Friday evening all. Pen x
