    Thank you. I will keep you updated. I haven’t told anyone IRL apart from OH, so I’m struggling on my own a little, so I am so very grateful for your support. 
  • Long time lurker...great news. I am really happy for you V x

    I did not get an email! Miraculously my job is safe! So happy, I am almost in shock, I didn’t realise how worried I was until just now! Thank you so much @jwil, and @vampirotoothus thank you so much for delurking. I really appreciate it. And breathe! Bless OH bought me wine and flowers to celebrate! I could cry I’m so happy!
