    Cold is near enough gone, still have a bunged up nose.

    Decided that the people I've been talking to are maybe not the best fit for me in terms of places to live so have made enquiries with a couple of other people. Might be a bad choice but just feel like living in a family home is not necessarily whats best for me this time around.

    Why do you feel it could be a bad choice? What's the pros/cons?

    I felt a little confined to my room last time and after another year of that at Dad's house I don't think it's what I want to go back to, plus I don't think I'd feel comfortable cooking for myself in a family kitchen especially if I'm going to be doing some semi irregular hours again.

    I just think the ages of the children as early/mid teens and that this time around I know a few people but not many I'd be better off trying to find a place with people of a similar age to me to encourage me to actually get out and socialise instead of just hiding out in my room with the internet or going to the pub with the girls I already know.

    Widening your circle, rather than just socialising with them?

    It can't hurt.

    I might even be able to get back in to my diving if I'm lucky and have the sense to do the rotas to give me the time.....

    About a year before that and that was in Wraysbury, but everytime I tried to book a weekend off to head out on a dive trip with my club from up here I had the leave requests turned down.

    That's been quite a while then - though you did get to play around in wet rubber earlier this year. Not quite the same though.

    Have you missed it??

    Yup alot but now I need to find a club and ease back in to it I think a pool session and then a couple of nice easy club dives at a quarry rather than booking myself a day out on a boat charter and hoping I don't kill myself!
