    They'll be blown away. AS it happens I was looking at Snag tights with H last night and I told her that you were wearing tights and she was so excited for you! Both Hazel and Fern asked me to send you their congratulations and hi 5's

    Ooo I thought I’d told you all this! My cousin (the one with terminal bowel cancer but they’d discovered a treatment that might help him) has finally had his recent scan results back. He did have large tumours in every quarter of his liver - now the tumours have shrunk so much they’re ‘almost unseeable’!!!

    In other news, I had coffee (proper out, out coffee) with my friend today. She’s the Pastoral Coordinator for my church and has asked me to mentor/support another lady in the congregation who has health issues and suffers from panic attacks, and struggles with going to church services/being actively involved in the church. Somehow, she thought I’d be able to help lol
    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.

    That's amazing news about your cousin! Seriously brilliant!

    It's fab that you'll be able to support someone else, just remember that you need to look after you too...

    Si had a meeting this morning. There’s a few jobs they want to talk to him about next week. They’re also going to email details of his package (if he goes) in the next few days. If he does go, it’ll be first week November.
    I think he’s disillusioned with it all and will choose to leave regardless, and I don’t think working for BG is what he wants to do. But, no decisions have been made yet, by them or him.

    It's good that they are presenting options. They obviously want to keep him....
    Hope he talks about it all with you love.

    I’m not saying our broadband is crap, but our download speed is currently lower than our upload speed (1meg)......
