Hullo everybody

I'm back! You can all breathe a huge sigh of relief that I'm still in one piece and a much happier person....ish!

I had a wonderful time on my travels as those of you that are on Facebook will know about from my pics I really don't have enough time in the world to tell you all of the adventures I got up to. I did meet some lovely blokes and had lots of fun with them I thoroughly enjoyed myself so much that I am considering going back to Oz for a longer period of time and working.

This is all dependant on my colleagues giving me the go ahead on a project I uncovered while I was in LA. If it goes ahead I'll be staying put (albeit maybe moving up North again) but if not I'm going to look into a work VISA for Oz and bugger off over there for a few months/years

I'm feeling much chirpier than I was 5 months ago and I can hardly believe it's been 4 months since Andrew died I'm always having mini traumas in my life and currently I'm worried about work and my ex but that's in the Dating thread so I won't reiterate that here.

Hope everyone is tip top?!?

Very well thank you. It was fun posting silly comments about your pics on Facebook

I'm glad you had a good time. What do you think was the highlight?

Good to have you back and glad you enjoyed it and from the sounds of it feeling better all round.

Ooooo highlight?!? Er perhaps just coming home and having had the BEST holiday ever and feeling more confident about myself and more sure of what I want. Needless to say now I back in Blighty that's gone out of the window again but things are better than they were which is all anyone can hope for

I particularly enjoyed catching up with my family again. I haven't seen my Antipodean cousins since they were very small and my male cousin, Paul, REALLY reminded me of my brother which was wonderful and sad all at the same time

Just being able to do stuff I wanted to do and not worry about things for a change was a blessed relief
