    Hi Sue

    Just catching up with your diary...OMG you are going through the mill.

    I just wanted to send some (((hugs))) and say keep your chin up.

    Small things make all the difference. Your win with the magazines for example. Try to make sure you do something for YOU - even if it is just half an hour reading a book. This can really give you the strength to recharge and plough on.

    I hope you holiday is fab and that you manage to get some down time.

    We will see you in a couple of weeks...

    I've just spent the last two nights reading your diary from the start, and just finished the last 10 pages now.

    Wow! You've had some tough times over the years, and plenty of challenges more recently what with DD, OH and work as well as the usual car/pet/house issues! I started my own diary the other week (which I need to update myself once I've posted here) and have been reading a few to get some inspiration, motivation and ideas...I certainly found it here. I've chuckled, had tears prickling my eyes and rolling down my cheeks, I've ooh-ed and ahh-ed reading your diary. If I had a hat I'd take it off to you Sue.

    We very luckily have no debt (I try not to class the mortgage as a debt, more as an essential thing lots of people have to have!) and but there are 2 DDs so I totally get the wanting to look out for/protect/help you give your DD (mine are only 8 and 11 so fortunately haven't had to deal with money or job issues yet phew - plenty of time yet for that though hehe)

    I'm a Lincolnshire girl too, Lincoln itself actually, so if you give me a heads up on any up-coming local fairs you'll be at I'll try and pop over if I'm free to say hello and admire your bears :)

    Hope you have a fab holiday, sounds like it's just what you need. Will save all the other things that have been running through my head about your diary for when you're back from your hols otherwise this could turn into a mammoth post! I will add though that your work colleague sounds an absolute 'idiot' for want of a better word. I tend to find when I've had someone similar in my life that it's usually down to jealousy or covering up their own uselessness or inability to do the job right!

    If I ever feel like the whole OP is too much of a faff or not worth it, or I'm losing my mojo I'll pop over here, have a read and give myself a strong talking to, because if you can do with this with everything that's been thrown at you then I can bl00dy well do it too!!

    Hope you have a fab holiday, sounds like it's just what you need :) xx
