    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    I managed fine yesterday. Have decided to have another AF Friday. It should be easier this week as I've woken up every day with a sinus headache worthy of any hangover so no incentive to drink. I just hope I feel the same (resolve not headache) at wine o'clock.:D


    So for today and yesterday:


    7/10 AFDs please Shaggy and 5/3 (hope that's allowed) for the SNC.

    Caught up. Thanks Maggie M; yes, it's all good stuff, but very time consuming to get it absolutely right - a lot of attention to detail on two huge projects that I feel very committed to being involved in.

    NicNak it sounds as though you're still reeling from the sepsis and the knock on realisations about where your life was headed and where you want it to go. It's a tricky thing, transitioning from an old life into a new one but it is always worth it - you won't regret doing it but afterwards it will become clear why it was so complicated to navigate the hazards. People often think they're helping by advising you to do what they would do in the circumstances, but as I've recently discovered, actually, I feel a much greater sense of fulfillment when I can do it my way. S*it or bust, I know what I want to do and I know exactly how I want to achieve it - what other people offer as help is often a hindrance, so I'm flying solo right now - it feels so liberating!

    Someone wiser than me said recently: 'It'll all work out in the end. If it hasn't worked out yet - it's not the end.'

    Huge goodluck with the interview FatRab. It's interesting that quite a few people are going through interviews at the moment on this thread. People transforming their own lives - I love it.

    I needed a break. Back to being busy for the rest of the day.

    9/30 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.
