    I have a potential new person but dreading my current one leaving as she was very much a mother figure, of that doesn't sound weird.  Forgot to phone the docs to see if my results were in.  I'm presuming they'll have them tomorrow.  Not sure what to feel at the moment, no point panicking until they decide what it is.

    Been very busy at work yesterday and today and just got in.  So I think I'm off to Bedfordshire, been on the go since 6 this morning.

    Hmmm well that didn't go according to plan.  Major lifestyle shakeup and drugs for life.  Need to go and lick my wounds and get my head around it.

  • Hi Lucielle,
    Lovely picture of  the puppy 🙂.  Sorry to read that the health news was different to what you were expecting.  Are you able to access any kind of support group? One of my DDs has a long term health condition anD we have both found the relevant support group’s website to be a really useful resource in terms of helping us to find out more and getting our questions answered.

    Where's the waving emoji when you need one? Hope you manage to get your head around things. Life can be really hard sometimes - and throw such curve balls that we want to reach for a bat and bat it back.

    Hello,  thanks for all the posts.  Been MIA not due to sulking but got kicked out of MSE and couldn't get my password reset until today.  It's been very frustrating to say the least.  Interesting times we're living in.  Can't think what's been happening, doctors check to make sure the medicine is working ok and not affecting other bits, waiting for the results.  Had B12 injection so starting to feel human again.
      Year end for us as of the 1st of April  so busy sorting accounts.  Still waiting to file this 1/4 VAT return, hopefully accountant will have it very soon.  Applied for the grant for the self employed, will see how that pans out.  I'm sure there's more but can't think of anything very exciting.
