    Tennis and tiaras *Possible SU Trigger*

    Time to start a new thread, methinks. In honour of Wimbledon and my royal status, it’s tennis and tiaras

    I’ve finished the last work I’m prepared to do for the charity as I resigned on Friday, so am sitting down watching Federer destroy his opponent - as he does lol. I might follow that by reading my book in the garden. Such hardship .....

    I need to spend some time recovering, I think, the last few weeks with the charity have been quite horrible and it’s shaken my confidence a bit. The chair accused my friend and vice chair of ‘putting words in my mouth’ this morning, which says a lot about what’s been going on. Hey ho, I’m out of there now

    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I can't tell you how pleased I am that you're out of there! It's disgraceful the way you've been treated. I wonder how many others have been treated in a similar way?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    At least one I know of, but I thought things had changed. Im trying not to be angry, just to accept it and move on. Easier said than done

    Federer was on TV (no sound) while I was eating lunch at the Blue Bell

    It's shocking how you were treated. The only thing you can do is take it easy and one day it won't be the first thing you think of.

    You're well off out of there Paula. You're too much of a lady to work with those prats! Don't let it shake your confidence! You weren't sacked, you resigned! It's their loss. You had a close shave.

    Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, the Chair has been really nasty to my friend - accusing her of wrongdoing over my resignation. And now one of the other trustees is fishing to see whether I’ve been doing my job properly

    It sounds like a witch hunt because they've been challenged
