    Captain Awkward has a great list of these phrases. "Wow" is another good one.

    One year anniversary for you since retiring this month. As someone galloping inexorably towards the starting gate I wondered if you had any reflections you wouldn't mind sharing?

    Ooh, me? That's "wow" in a good sense! It must be me, I hope I'm not being narcissistic in typing that :o

    :rotfl:

    I think the thing that's struck me in this first year is what John Lennon published on his last LP, Double Fantasy, a few months before he was murdered: "life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans".

    And I think I'm going to do bullet points on my own diary, after that statement :A to avoid hijacking, and just in case its not me after all!

    Hope everything is going well Alex and you are all getting used to new routines.

    Not been on here for a while. Not been doing much for a while other than trying to get through the days. Things haven't been good, to be honest. Hanging on with the course and coping but it is not what I thought it would be. No further with decluttering / selling things off.

    In other news, I'm busy with the property side of things with a potential big deal which will be quite exciting if it does happen. :)
