    Very well thank you, life is almost quite good at mo. So you're thinking about a change of course for your job when you go back to work? How are the children?

    I've got to be honest, I don't think the finances will 'technically' allow it ;) but the alternative is to go back to a job I hate and be stuck there because I'm too scared to leave, which will probably eventually lead to a major meltdown, handing in my notice on the spur of the moment and ending up with no job at all. So I think for my sanity I have to find a way to make it work!

    Ta Keren hon! How are you? How's the AQA going? I applied twice but both times I bottled it when I got the actual application form. I quite enjoyed finding the answers to the questions but for some reason didn't dare send them off....weird!


    I'm ok - you should go for it with AQA- you'll either be in or not, don't be scared - you won't lose anything by wanging a form off to them.

    Hi Snaggles, glad I guessed right or you would have thought I was mad. It sounds like a good plan to go back part-time and then look to retrain but you are right at the moment that lovely baby girl of yours has to come first. Good luck what ever you decide and feel free to PM me if I can help.

    I've just laughed my head off at Natasha, we bought her a blow-up ring thing to sit in, and she's just been trying it out, but I don't think she's quite got the idea yet....

    Awwww, thank you, that's so kind!

    Well, I am much better thank you very much, there hasn't really been much to tell, which is why I haven't posted....lol. But I'm definitely happier, calmer, richer....no, forget that last one.....lol.

    Actually, I have had a bit of good news, how could I forget! Ryan has come home with a letter saying he has got a 'Wall of Fame' award for good work and good behaviour, so I am going to his assembly tomorrow to watch it being presented to him! :T :T :T

    Shares still nosediving though....:o....sigh.....I WILL be debt free ONE day! :)
