    Some bed time reading for tonight.
    THE MOUSE AND THE WEASEL

    A little hungry Mouse found his way one day into a basket of corn. He had to squeeze himself a good deal to get through the narrow opening between the strips of the basket. But the corn was tempting and the mouse was determined to get in. When at last he had succeeded, he gorged himself to bursting. Indeed he became about three times as big around the middle as he was when he went in.

    At last he felt satisfied and dragged himself to the opening to get out again. But the best he could do was to get his head out. So there he sat groaning and moaning, both from the discomfort inside him and his anxiety to escape from the basket.

    Just then a Weasel came by. He understood the situation quickly.

    "My friend," he said, "I know what you've been doing. You've been stuffing. That's what you get. You will have to stay there till you feel just like you did when you went in. Good night, and good enough for you."

    And that was all the sympathy the poor Mouse got.

    No no no savvy I don't think you 're sad not at all :eek:
    I mean it's sad that people just except that it's normal to put up with abuse or insults like its nothing.
    I'd never call you sad ,

    I know - my misunderstanding - which in fact I didn't think you were calling me "sad" - has already been corrected.
    I don't know who is saying that people just accept it's normal to put up with abuse or insults. I don't know where you are getting that perception from - your perception that you think people think it is normal.

    Right, am off to get ready for tomorrow and finish packing my case, digging out my hospital letters etc. Early start, but provided it isn't too traumatic I might get on here tomorrow afternoon/evening. Fingers crossed I can give a positive update for once! :)

    All the best xx
