What lovely posts, all of you, thank you  :)   Firstly Michael, you haven't transgressed any boundaries and you have every right to post here, sounds like you've been hurt/bullied in your past, well done for posting and you are welcome to keep doing so xxx   Catlover, a big WELL DONE for having the confidence to post, that makes me feel wonderful that my post has encouraged you, it's all good  :)   Been through that horrible place with no job or confidence, if you live anywhere near west Yorkshire I am looking for seasonal staff, just let me know if that might help you.   Shaz, good to know you also swim, it encourages me to think about committing myself to that.    Think I mentioned I am due a gastric bypass in a month's time, once I am over that and getting used to the changes in eating et, I will deffo be making some decisions on what good addictions (!) I will be bringing into my life.

When you've got the tiredness that often comes with depression, it's soooooo hard to get motivated.  That's why I am currently sitting at my desk typing this when I have a shedload of work I could be doing, including preparing to sell at a show tomorrow, I have to get my gazebo and tables out, start filling boxes with stock and loading the car, etc etc....and here I sit, slumped over my keyboard doing sod all.   Hey ho.  I know I will get myself sorted out for tomorrow, it's just getting off my arse and doing it.   I have someone to interview at 1.30pm today as well, have to try and wake up and present a professional front, ho ho ho.

Ok, gonna try and get on with something now.  Thanks again for all your lovely posts   xxx
Success is relative: I'm still here, that makes me a success  :)
