    It is a very hard realisation to come to.
    I feel your pain.
    I hope the new job goes well for you.

    Wow! How fab! new job and new start. Think positively: you are clearing away what is no longer great for you in order to make spaces for all the wonderful things to come. How exciting

    Great to declutter too, frees the mind to think clearly and most of the stuff we hoard we don't actually need anyway-plus side is that you can also make a few quid.

    It is onwards and upwards from here then.

    What does the new job entail? Is it outdoors or indoors?

    Am VERY happy for you
    Xx

    Blooming 'eck, I have an evening out and so much happens ! Congrats on the new job Piq, and a move too ... how exciting ! (I love moving, but maybe Im strange that way ....)
    What a huge leap all at once, Im sure you must be delighted to get away from the coffee shop, and hopefully closer to the Captain too !!
    So fine to get good news from someone who really deserves it :)
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:
