I'm back again - now ready to face the challenge

Well I have not been around for ages. Not since new year anyway.

I have been really depressed since new year and everthing got too much. I really didn't talk to anyone - either on here or off here.

Starting to feel a bit better and stronger now, so decided to show my ugly face again.

Can I first say sorry to everyone that went to the birmingham meet in Jan, I was supposed to go, but backed out without giving a reason and then did not even come back here till yesterday.

I am off sick from work at the moment and in quite a bit of pain... so bear with me.

I hope that all you lovely peope are well and can find it in your hearts to forgive me for abandoning you.

I am wanting to get my motivation back and be more committed this time.

    Thank you for your support.

    I had a bit of a rough patch. but feeling a bit emotionly stronger. I feel that I did let some people on here down though.

    To be honest feeling a bit vulnerable still.. but I will get there.
