Hi D and everyone else -sorry I haven't had time to catch up with you till today. Congrats on your distinction - great stuff! What's the needlework course you're on? I toyed with the idea of doing an embroidery course some years ago but got divorced instead and didn't have the time/money . Have just got back to quilting a throw I started last year and feel better for being a bit creative again .
Sorry to hear about the changes at work - I can understand your misgivings. When my boss got voted into parliament I felt the same, after having spent several years working up at her home with just her dog and housekeeper for company, to moving to an office and having two guys over me as I wanted to stay part time & couldn't therefore be in charge. It took some adjusting but we get on great now, even though my line manager is young enough to be my son (just!), but we have some laughs and it's all very Yes Minister at times.
Glad you are so over G now - but sorry things are still difficult with H - it really worries me that he always seems nice to you when you're down. And what you said about him making friends with mainly women at work does seem to imply that he's insecure enough to need the attention.
Sorry, have to go now - dp needs to walk a little - still stiff after his op - and I've volunteered to go with him. We're getting on well at the moment and it's nice playing doctors and nurses (but with none of THAT element - not after a hernia op .
Catch up with you later and lots of hugs xx
