    Hester Glad you feel a lot better for your decision . Your husband has shown remarkable restraint to keep turning in each day . Keep on with the glad game , it has been my coping strategy since childhood and works most of the time . Put your feet up love and breathe x

    Hester. Sounds like your DH would be better off away from those toxic people. Good luck for tomorrow, whatever the outcome .....could be the start of a new life with the resolution of some old problems.

    If you feel better then it's right for you Hester and I mean in the plural.

    B & Q loves older workers. Just not trollies, seasonal or building DS gets 8 to 9 hours a day heavy work out.

    Evening all - got back from our hols yesterday and just about caught up on this thread. First, Happy Belated birthday to Nursemaggie - '46 wasa very good year (especially for us Geminis!)
    Glad the meeting with Softstuff went well and you all had a good time - couldn't be otherwise :)

    Huge hugs for all who are hurting - life does seem to get so unfair for some people and its so undeserved. I'm so sorry that I can't do anything practical to help ease the load.

    Monna etal - am very up for a visit to the Island that is the jewel in the crown - I've got withdrawal symptoms for IoW ice cream and the wonderful local cheese!
    Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle

    Right Silvasava. We will get this organised. Leave it with me. (famous last words!

    I'll start tomorrow, by this time of night my brain and my body have parted company.

    Pollyanna. Thanks. It was something I dredged up from the sludge at the bottom of my mind. It's some thing I always think about when people talk about freedom. It's just nothing left to lose. Very true.

    HH - Can't believe that sort of thing can still happen, it must be horrible.
