  • phew. MSE went really weird on me for 30 minutes or so. I couldn't post - it kept saying my message was too short and the forums had a really 'stripped back' look as if the server was struggling to display properly.

    Hopefully back though now!


    Toto - you said you had a good feeling about the job ;) You psychic you............

    Sounds like just the ticket to get back in the saddle Keren, so to speak.... Knowing you (which i don't not really, but from what i think of you as) you'll be able to climb/develop as much or as little as you want to.

    Well done, and yes, the Biatch never quite got to you as much as she'd hoped!!! (whatever she did, before my time i think)

    3rd time lucky...
    Have been trying to post all morning, then site went to maintenance:mad: :mad:
    Anyway grey old day here, and ive got the cold from hell and feeling like poo. Didn't get any valentines cards yesterday from DH, claims he forgot (even though DD and I made cards the day before and she told him!!) then DD brought one home from nursery and claimed it was for him not me...found it quite hurtful actually. :cry:
    Anyway have tidied the house, just need to put the umpteeth load of washing on. Trying to resist the temptation to go into towm, know I will end up spending money...always do when feeling like poo!
    Hope everyone else is having a better day ;)
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

  • Cheers Maz. I'm seeing this as a mixture of some financial surety and also a chance to explore something a bit different.

    I had a very difficult situation a year or so ago now at work. I won't bore you with the details, but mad as it sounds I'm not actually allowed to say what happened as I've signed a confidentiality contract and with my name being part of my user name you never know who could see this and say something.

    Doesn't stop anyone else though ;)

    Went a bit weird for me there as well (should stop taking the pills!). Thanks for that GF, Im glad it helped you, I remain to be convinced tho, but it does send out a good message. Maybe it fixed MSE?

    Hi Maz its to do with the law of attraction, basically if you believe in something so much you will get it. Its pretty good I have to say. THere is a website https://www.thesecret.tv Check it out you may be intrigued. Sounds like it went a long way to turning GF's life around.
