    I have to apologise ladies, for the negative stuff (personal) that I've posting over the weekend. Not very Matrix like at all. My only excuse (reason) is that I've been feeling negative over this job situation and redundancy. That however is no reason for me to project my negatives in here. So I'm sorry (insert red-faced smiley):o.

    The four hour working week stuff was soooooo negative, and the thing is, if I was in an up-beat frame of mind, I would probably have tried to embrace it and sort of adapt its principles etc.

    Feel free to tell me straight if I get like that again :o.
    You have all been a strength of support and positivity to me and again I apologise.x

    I think the deal is as long as we all have our wobbles at different times then everything is fine.

    How can you stay negative when you have a Great Dane to luuurrrrvvvveeee???

    Up to three bin bags now - including a bx of stuff I had in Berlin 18 years ago!!!!!

    Off to take DS2 to the park and buy him an ice-cream - he keeps looking for his big bruv - so some time out playing should cheer him up.

    Fantasia what MG said :) we all have our moments. I dont think you were particularly negative just questioning and we all have to question things sometimes.

    Now for those of you that need a little perspective I just got this in my personal inbox. On lunch so that is allowed

    Fantasia, please do not apologise for feeling down - positive thinking does not mean that one should feel postive all the time (or as I say 'you don't have to be chirpy as a canary all the time; this is actually annoying). But...

    Once we have got the 'bad' out we have to start seeing life for what it is; and sometime it is 'bad' sometimes 'good' but it always gives us puzzles to solve. And feeling bad for a long time about the puzzles only wastes us precious time.

    I would suggest that Matrix members have a meeting tonight on the other side - between 8.30pm and 10.00 pm - so that we can kick around some ideas with you. Keep an open mind, search, ask and all shall be well at the end. So I'll be there...

    You can contribute when possible. The meeting is only to say that most of us will convene in this time interval. One for all and all for one! And if we can come up with a viable and acceptable plan within two hours - what a great thing this will be.
