Sorry things still aren't great Michelle, but overall you kinda sound like you feel a little better about yourself? I hope so at least !

I started my new job last Monday - which I'm loving so far - but my office still hasn't been built (will be 2 - 3 weeks), so I don't have my own desk, PC, desk phone, storage space, etc etc. I have a little desk pushed up against my boss's desk, and we share a network cable (I have a laptop). So because we're so close, and only one of us can be onlne (and therefore email-able) at a time I'm getting tiny chunks of online time.

On the plus side - I'm having a great time! I've had quite an impact already - set up their website & corporate email system, and am doing all I can considering my lack of facilities. I *think* my boss is pretty pleased with me so far, touch wood/fingers crossed, and I hope I can continue that....

My tum's holding up ok so far - I'm only doing 3 days a week - but as of yesterday they're paying me for full-time, on the basis that the 2 days spent I home I use to work on developing the website & keeping up to date with correspondance, etc. This week, due to meetings, I had to work Mon-Tue full time, which was exhausting - last night I had such a migraine-like headache (just without all the weird side effects I get when it's an actual migraine), and slept like a log.

I'm taking 4 - 7 Imodium a day to get me through it, so due to working 3 consecutive days this week I haven't pooped til Sunday, but I can feel one coming, if you know what I mean!

Jamie's stressed from work, but we're now listening to my hypno session tapes together in bed at night - and it's helping him keep calmer under pressure, and we're both sleeping loads better!

Congratulations to all you wonderful expectant moms - very cool!

I've spoken to both Nat & Jo (pinkprincess) several times, and they're both doing ok, just both really busy with uni, work, friends, etc etc. Nat had a really horrible few days last month - she ended up in hospital with her worst IBS pains ever, but she knew she'd been burning the candles at both ends and that helped cause it, and she's doing her best to keep on top of it from now on. I felt so bad for her, she had SUCH rotten time.

She's just got broadband installed in her now house, and has started emailing again, so hopefully she'll drop in soon to say hi!

Jo is doing a part time job, and loads of volunteering, etc, to help her with her application to begin teacher training. With her determination I know she'll do it too!

So.... I'm lurking, I check everyone's messages as often as I can, and wishing everyone all the best every day.

I'll post as often as I can do, but in the meantime - stay happy & healthy everyone!
