    fab results is he pleased?

    He was dissapointed with his C in Maths but with his re-sit he should be able to pull it up to a B.

    To be honest he knows that he has been quite lazy this last year as at school he found things easy, there is a big jump from GCSE to A-levels so I think he has got a bit of a shock.

    He did say that he was going to "blast" his A2 year which is DS speak for getting his bum into gear:cool:

    He is doing really well Elli, got back to work and has been offered a promotion :T

    He still has trouble with his eye but the paralysis of his face is definitely improving with the electrotherapy, I can see his familiar handsome face coming back day by day (not that he ever really lost it to me but you know what I mean):)

    Well I just have to ask what do you do that means no other council has one of whatever you do? Does that question even make sense - hopefully you will know what I mean!

    I am the only one doing my job (but only in my council, not the whole country) which was why my job was safe. I am the Adaptations Coordinator and luckily that role will always be needed. Of course that doesn't mean that I will always be needed, but the role will be, so that does make me kinda safe!

    I just have a very specific role and training in some of their most complicated systems of the department and without me, they couldn't maintain things and if I left it would take them a very long time to get someone else trained up...and it's 'county' not country - I'm not that indispensable, but they would be mad to let me go! :D :P

    He had an operation to remove a brain tumour back in September last year Claire. He really has had a slow recovery and had lots of set backs but seems to be coming on with leaps and bounds at the moment:)

    Sammy......I hope that you OH is reassured that he is OK some day soon, it must be difficult to live with at times for you:kisses3:
