Thanks Gan, Alpha, RD, Edz and V - you guys are great!

So, the advice is - don't worry about any of that just yet.....noted - will do my best!

Yes, we had a nice lunch thanks Gan. It's good being so near to Mum and Dad. Mum needs a lot of care now, and Dad has a tough time of it, so it's good to be part of their support network. Puss is also doing well, and her coat looks nicer after some daily grooming. She had a once over at the vets last week, and we're back again next week for some routine tests....that's two old ladies who need looking after in my life!

I got a nice call from the lady who runs the divorce recovery workshop yesterday. We spoke for about 20 mins, and she asked a little about our sitch. They have run 20 workshops each for 10 people over the past 10 years, and still have 130 people on their mailing list. People often remain involved in the workshops as facilitators and there's quite a social scene linked to them. All sounds good. I just missed a workshop and their next isn't until Nov, but it might be nice to have a winter plan to look forward to. I'm still mulling the option of a weekend workshop, so we'll see.

No news from H. Heard from SS's Mum though. He has exams coming up and is busy revising. We hope to get together during the next half term week, so that should be nice. It's weird that H wants a new family in his life and feels he missed out on being a 'full' Dad, but is actually spending much less time with SS right now. Oh well.

I'm doing okay anyway - thanks for asking. I have a busy couple of weeks coming up with the new job and various other social/elections commitments. Have a good day all xx
