  • It was called for ;) not over the top at all.

    It isn't like I went running around the house this morning when I saw it shouting excitedly or nuffink. Not even like it was the first thing I told him when I spoke to him on the phone earlier neither. :o

    Because I'm Happppppppppppppppy :D

  • Thank you. I've gone a bit quiet as its all sinking in still. I still can't quite believe it and I've also gone really tired, as if I've been holding it together and it's all suddenly hit me - feels like relief?

    Fell asleep twice on the sofa this week quite early, but still tired and sleeping well - roll on the weekend and a lie in maybe?

    I've also been trying to post and keep getting 'MSE forum technical difficulties'. Hmmm, got to go to sort out the slow cooker now for tonight now before work. See you all later and thanks so much for popping in.

  • Definitely relief hon. You made a big choice when you walked away from the better paid job and it's obviously been nagging at you ever since. Hope you now see it was totally the right decision.

  • Thanks for popping by apple muncher lovely to see you. And thank you, I am very proud.😄😃😀😊☺️😁

    Thank you too Verbatim, D'you know you're right, confidence grown since carp job, I keep forgetting how it made me feel. I was so confident when I went off to that job and that's the bit I've got to remember. I'm hoping to start in a months time, but may ask for a bit longer so I can have my holiday but still give a few weeks notice to my lovely colleagues. 😃

    Gosh GP I was so low. I didn't think I had the energy to get myself out of it. Encouragement from my MSE friends and a very kind real life person got me out. I will not let you down. :T

    Thank you INOD. Definitely a relief that it's all come good hasn't it. Now I've got to put past behind me - learn and move on 😄 step by step 😄😄😄😄😄

    IT's the relief SS1K, as you said. All the adrenalin when you're in that fight or flight stress/anxiety mode really takes it out of you - Take some time out if you can...you can afford to sit back relax now ...and it would be great if you can arrange to start in new year - new page ..new start :):T sooooo happy for you :)
