    Don't knock it, jo. i don't think there has been anyone anywhere ever that turned round and said "You know, I wish I'd spent a bit less time with my kids". Enjoy 'em

    Well done. I personally think you've made the right choice ;) .

    Come back and flame me in six months, won't you? :o:o :rotfl:

    Well done Jo!

    Hope everyone's well, I'm feeling a bit better today, saw my stop smoking lady yesterday and my CO level has gone from 27 to 11 in a week.........considering I smoked all weekend I thought it wasn't too bad! Getting back to it now and today is sort the house out day.......after I cleared up the garden. Had a friend round for a coffee and her dog has killed 2 balls, a cricket bat, the watering can and DS's scooter handle! Just took me half an hour to pick it all up!

    Morning all.

    Well done Jo, I think you have made the right choice, and you seem really happy about it so that is the main thing.

    I have had a crap couple of days. Since Monday, the traffic going to work has been awful and then it takes me 2 1/2 hours to get home last night, but I did it all without smoking, so I am really pleased.

    Feel good this morning and really positive.

    How is everyone else doing?

    I just went and bought a doggy bed and some toys! Going to view 2 pups on Saturday, one will be mine next month. Going to leave the bedding and one of the toys with the breeder this weekend so they can pick up the scent of "home" so he settles easier when he comes to live with me!

    I've just looked at my calendar and by my reckoning you'll start at the school on November 5th, you break up for Xmas 7 weeks later - 2 weeks off :j . Told you when you work in a school the time flies cause you work term to term!! I seriously don't think you'll regret it! Have you told dh yet??
