Aw, thanks Kate!!

LOL about Sarah Palin. He lives in the SAME town! HAHAHAH! (Rolls eyes)-I PROMISE to try and stay clear of miss crazy-pants! LOL!

The job itself-it's good. I think lots has to do with my willingness and abilty to completely immerse myself like I used to. I really was a workaholic-and now I have a husband and a real life!! It was one thing to be 400 lbs and be stuffed in a cubical and feel VERY happy that I had some good purpse.

I am not that same girl anymore. Also-part of it had to do with Mum in law getting very ill. We had to go and take her out of her home and bring here here for awhile. She is now going back and forth between her home and ours and she needs care still.

I had to make a few tough decisions-but I really do think in the end-it's the best thing. I would REALLY love to go to school!! I am sure it will be costly-but I could make a start. I am very interested in Health and Social-I do love working with folks indeed.

Who knows!?

Hope you are well and happy!!

45 is YOUNG!! And being a Granny is the best thing ever!!  All the joys of your own children but much less day to day stress!

Mind you,  it opens a whole new layer of maternal anxiety. Now you will worry about your son, as all mothers do. Then you will worry about your grandchild. And then you will worry about what your son would feel if anything happened to the grandchild.

Sorry about the job being difficult - I thought it was good - just like your US one!

Alaska in November? Pack those woollies. And watch out for polar bears and. even more dangerous, Sarah Palin.

Oh-My-Goodness!!!

I have been missing!!!

Here is my news:

My son is getting married November-he is 26 and lives in Alaska.

AND

They are expecting a baby March/April!!! OMG!! LOL!

I got the news just days before my 45 birthday which was on the 22 of August!

Amazingly enough-I had JUST changed my hours at work from Full time to Part time. Long story-but I came to an emotional end of my rope and decided I would rather we be skint that have me suffering as I have done.

So-we shall have a poor but happy Christmas and we have taken our last few pounds and gotten two round trip tickets to Alaska for the November wedding.

Ah life-Crazy isn't it???

Hope you are all doing well!!!

Hugs and Peace,
T

What a shame but what fun you have had.

Idea.... how about next year we arrange a meet in the Midlands. Something daft and fun like a spa day. Then we could all go really mad and do an overnighter! Then people could come from all over. And it would give people time to save money AND a goal to lose weight!!!!! I just spent a day at Hoar Cross hall near Telford, stayng with a friend locally. It was FABULOUS!

Being a Granny is THE BEST!!
