Thank you my lovelies mwah mwah mwah!
It gives me great joy to know I can count on you all for comforting words when the chips are down! Another not great day - I shed a few tears earlier talking to a work friend about it - oh I'm a soppy cow, I do love wearing my heart on my sleeve

. I've also got a jumbo sized container of St Johns Wort, which helps bigtime with the stress, and I currently have my chops wrapped round a big glass of red wine...but did a WI this morning and I'm the same weight so no damage done yet, and I didn't have much to eat today. It's the new diet, didn't ya know - the Stress Diet
Got some good feedback from the agents and I'm being put forward for four roles so far. The downside (one of a few) is that I won't be able to go to Egypt - in contract roles they want you in straight away and the holiday is really bad timing - but I'd rather sacrifice the money I paid for the holiday to get out and into a new role, so it's long term survival thinking here, as I can do the trip some other time.
A bonus is in the name of economising, I checked through the cupboards, fridge and freezer properly last night, and I have all the ingredients for about 12 days of yummy (light) gourmet meals for lunches and dinners, plus homemade porridge pots and fruit for brekkie. This means of course that I have turned into my mother, hoarding cans of stuff for a rainy day LOL

. So, will be cooking up a storm with curries, stroganoff, soups and so on for the time being.
I will try and catch up with your news over the next few days but for now here's a big (((((((((((((((((((((all of you))))))))))))))))))) from me xxx
