Really pleased for you Paul Hopefully there'll be a better bunch there too. You'll soon be right as ninepence (as my Nan used to say )

(I was one that pm'd you before sorry wasn't sure what to say on the open forum, thought it might be better as a pm)

Should be ok there tho as after all I'm a labourer, a glorified dog's body so can't REALLY go wrong!

I really really hope Paul so, will be keeping my fingers crossed that it goes well for you

Never met you but if in Bris. or Ipswich I would like too convince you to stay, (Grass, lifestyle etc IS greener in Oz)

Once again I thank you all for your kind wishes and concerns ...

I went to see the Doc yesterday and told him I'm seeing no sign of improvement but he told me to give it time, another week or so and I should start to see signs of improvements so holding on tight to that for now.

Yeah a worry HAS been lifted knowing I've got a job to go to. Original plan was to start Monday but the agency phoned yesterday and said it's gonna be Tuesday but there you go, no real worries with that.

Currently charging up the battery for me ole boat and gonna get out on that for a few hours today as the weather seems decent. It's one of the few things that I enjoy at the mo so it makes sense to 'have some of it' ...

Onwards and up eh!

Thanks ...

Hey Paul, I don't know you but I think I know how you feel.......All the best and keep your chin up.

Someone once advised me that in the face of adversity the best thing to do was smile. I didn't quite know what was meant by this, but the other day I was feeling a bit low (just low that is, nothing seriousus, so maybe this is completely irrelevant for you - if so I apologise now) but i was advised to just smile. Well I was driving into town, feeling low, but with a great big cheesey grin on my face. - stupid i know - but.....by the time i got to where I was going I was laughing.. mostly at the faces of other people in their cars laughing at my cheesey grin - but whatever, it did work - please try it - and if you can laugh at yourself it might help you too.
