    Hi Taxi, caught up yesterday but didn't have time to post.

    Was so pleased to hear about you looking after yourself.the last couple of years haven't been the easiest and it can be hard to get back doing nice things for yourself. Hope you are still enjoying wearing makeup. When I got back into it, it was nerve wracking at first butt now it's turned intoa bit of an obsession!

    Have a great weekend,

    Mmmm, as we were saying on my thread, just *being* is tiring sometimes. Hope you're taking it easy too.

  • Glad you are doing things for you.

    ECDL and NVQ's etc are an odd thing; I wanted to do ECDL as it would help me to have the 'formal' qualification, even though I know most of the stuff. I couldn't get on a course because I was too advanced! But then did it at a centre near me, and it was fine as its a deprived area, so they have different criteria.Same for doing an NVQ, no matter what the subject, unless I deliberately do badly in the test, I couldn't get free funding.

    Slept a lot today but then went out bought a new external hard drive and managed to set it up,back everything up,create a system image and a repair disc...and was quite proud of that.

    Then I've hoovered down stairs,washed up,done some washing and drying and cleared and cleaned my computer work space.Also used some compressed air to clean the fan on my computer as it was noisy.

    I'm on contribution based ESA at the moment and live in a deprived area so am lucky that I don't have to pay but it's madness the whole system.I remember last time I was on contribution based I couldn't get funding because it was contribution based ..they have no rhyme nor reason is the conclusion from that:(:(

    Thanks,I don't see myself as an inspiration as you just have to get on with things the best you can in the circumstances.Have got a long way to go on the weight front but will get there eventually.
