It does make me realise that even though I have difficulties, they are relatively easy to fix, and that really life could be a lot worse.

Don't I feel like the big tit for asking.

Bugger.

John and Mark very sorry to hear your news. Big group forum {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hug}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

My news? Errrm. Did up the garden last year and now the neighbours are trying to keep up with me. Still need to paint outside of house and replace guttering then that's all the big jobs done - only taken me 10 years!

Working for Discovery who own Antenna Audio who I look after. We've just moved offices so now work in a lovely new clean environment near Old Street rather than a dodgy old biscuit factory in sarf London. All good.

Dad has bone cancer but is having pain relief treatment and is doing well. Still mobile and walking the dogs etc although he does get tired easily and has lost a lot of weight. He's 73 and I reckon he'll be around for a good few years yet

Really sorry to hear that Mark

Best wishes to Mrs. V, John.

Me? Loooong story...

Met a woman online, she was a friend of a friend. Came to visit the friend for new year in 2007, met woman, fell in love, still together. Within a week I had a new job, new flat and within a month I'd moved from one end of Germany to the other!

Mother was diagnosed with Leukemia in January! Gran died in Feb, uncle died in Feb.

Visited mum in Feb/Mar, prognisis 5 years max, chemo working. Changing jobs, so threw holiday away in old job to come out sooner, so I could visit mum after she came out of hospital in October... A week and a half ago, she was told the chemo isn't working, 3 months a week ago, that was halved to 6 weeks! Spent a long weekend with her, got back late Monday.

Starting new job next week, told new boss, he said no problems, they will arrange for me to take time off so I can visit her, even though it is my probationary period.

And I'm moaning because my leg hurts....

You guys rock. Seriously, it's no wonder I couldn't stay away.

Not much to report here, I suspect. I can't remember when you last checked in, as it were.
Still no job, but I'm volunteering (aka. working for free) with a local charity. Still enjoying taking photomographs. Still single.
Went for a well paid internship that'd last a couple of months with a large well-known computer firm, was told on the same day that I had it, and that the HR people would be in touch - 2 weeks later, nothing was happening so I chased them. Turns out they went with someone else.
Uhm, what else... close female friend has gone to South Africa for four months to a clinic to treat her bulimia.
Niece is attending the Royal Ballet School and was in the Nut Cracker over Chrimble.
I've just drunk some coffee.

I'll stop there.
