Hi Melly. Long time lurker but dont post much. Can I just say, ok I will shout it WELL DONE YOU !!!!! I've said it before (long time ago) you really are quite an unique and inspirational woman. Seriously, much respect to you. You are a fighter and a go getter and I am so so proud to read how you are doing. Life can be really hard at times with lots of life changing positions forced on us but you always fight through them. So pleased to read your success in gaining employment and may I wish you the best of times and best of luck in this new chapter of life. You really are inspirational and your looking great too xxx6

Thank you Ck
Something I said to my friend where I am staying was that having survived much much worse than this I know I will be fine. Not immediately and not from any special strength just I know I have got through worse.
Been fussed over today told to rest as tomorrow will hurt.
Legs have been sore which isn't a surprise so get some magnesium and better insoles tomorrow before work I think.
The lack of stress has worked wonders for me that and actually having my hair done and making an effort with myself lol.
People seemed nice but they are a different shift to me so I will know more about the lay of the land tomorrow as I start my 4 on.
It continues to be quiet and now I have managed to sign off I know he can't do anything with that. I am still waiting for the next round but good friends so again will be fine need to remember I am lucky, free, working and healthier than I have been in the past.
