This thread moves so fast! I keep trying to catch up in the evenings and then by the time I've caught up I'm too tired to write anything.
cake sorry about your health stuff, I hope you're looking after yourself. I've been meaning to say for days that I hope your move goes well, the thought of moving with 3 dcs would leave me a hyperventilating wreck. Your ability to take things in your stride and stay upbeat is amazing.
everything I had dinner recently with a friend who's in the final stages of a divorce. There was no one else involved and they've managed to keep it fairly amicable. She was worried about being on her own but said it's less lonely being alone than living with someone who doesn't communicate. On the sibling thing, DH has several friends who are in second marriages and have children and step children. From what I've seen, their children who are half siblings don't notice the difference and just see their brother or their sister. Did you hear about the house?
Oh, and someone was asking about mn names, mine's due to name changing when I was fed up. 'grumpy' was taken so I had to go for 'reallygrumpy' instead

Hello to everyone else, I'll try and have a look at the meet up places. I should really be working but I'm on a train to a training course and there's free wifi. The course is 2 days so I'm staying overnight and am looking forward to a bath, an early night and not having to get up before 8. What do you think is the min amount of time I can get away with spending in the bar networking after dinner?
Hope you all have good days.
