  • I'm sure you have CommittedToChange - but have you spied the DMP support thread on here?
    Hope it's not as bad as you fear - bet it isn't :D
    It wasn't. Said colleague clearly wasn't happy, but he CAN be quite aggressive (made someone else at my new level cry last week!). Instead he went for the sulky school-child option, which works for me as I don't particularly want to talk to him either! I just ignored him and talked to the rest of my new team, who were all lovely. :)

    Thought i best start one for this week as i couldn`t see one. Whats going on? Where is everybody??

    I`m on the next chapter of my life now as i handed over the keys to my house (sniff sniff, was a bit emotional after living there 16yrs & it being my 1st own home) yesterday & have now moved in with my lovely other half. We`re looking at getting a new build when there completed in July.

    Whats everybody else up too??

    Hi Hope you don't mind me butting in but if I don't get this off my chest I think I will burst! I've been posting recently about repaying my student loans and trying to get to grips with my spending etc. Then we (husband and I) went to Tenerife for a week with my lovely inlaws and while I was away I started feeling a bit funny but nothing I could put my finger on. (As Rolf Harris would say, can you guess what it is yet?) I then looked at the calender and realised I wasn't just a couple of days late - but actually a week!!! :eek:
    I took a test (even though I speak Spanish it was still a bit of a farce in the chemist) and hey presto! :j Have made an appt with my gp next week to confirm but OMG what have we let ourselves in for??? :rotfl:

    Thanks for all your good wishes - I still need to see the dr on Tue to have it confirmed. Because it is so soon (we think about 4 weeks) its too early to tell anyone but I thought there was no harm online.....
