Queeglesproggit - Keeper of the evil Thingite Avon Lady Army and Mary Poppins's bag of darkness..

After being on a couple of dating websites, got introduced through FB to a friend of a friend, and now it's all sunshine lollipops and rainbows.

We'll see how things go, but the odd thing with this one is that it's never felt like there's any rush.

I thinking getting into your 30s is a good time. Priorities change (quite a few because your body now takes 3 days to recover from a hangover ) and most people seem to be more comfortable with themselves, or at least care less what others think.

In a job I love, wage isn't stellar but I get to help people find out how to get educated every day, and get thanked lots too!

Ill with cold, and going to attempt to go to a gym regularly again. Not for weight loss this time though, I need to build my core strength so I don't suffer from back issues quite so much. Weight loss will be a bonus, but being able to do what I want and not be hindered by physical issues is of primary importance.

Re-reading old journal entries though, and wondering whether I should attempt the Race for Life again! Though, while writing, I'm reminded that I can't run because it'd knacker my back up. Right, get car on road, get joined to a gym!

For Loves-sake, kiss me once again,
I long, and should not beg in vain,
Here's none to spy, or see;
Why do you doubt, or stay?
I'll taste as lightly as the Bee,
That doth but touch his Flower, and flies away.

When you're better, some stuff can make that shroud want to settle on you again. You don't know how you're going to process it. I realised, that the important thing here is that I'm actually wondering how to process it. As opposed to hiding from it.

While it's important to figure out how to digest bad stuff, the real triumph is that you're trying.

Just realised that at the end of August I shall have been on this site for a whole decade! Which is very cool. Although I do also now feel old, and like I haven't moved on in my life, etc. etc. to do something with life.

Got letters through from the bank offering realistic settlement figures for my mis-sold payment protection insurance, the rebates totals over £1,100!

Very pleased
