Hi sweet @Sans911 How is your car going? You seem to have been busy today - is it now a quiet night in?

Yeah it has been super tough when you lose that support - especially when it has been there since the beginning - finding it really hard to get over and still missing NikNik too
I am feeling a little better today than I have been @Snowie It makes so much difference to me when my house is tidy and there have been a couple of things I have been putting off for weeks and got them nearly done today so that really helps.
The next step is now work and easing my way into that. I really need this volunteer work to work out as I know another knock will completely floor me again - I need some things to go my way, some positives in my life, to be able to try to move forward another step. I am definitely not ready to return to work yet but this step is crucial to work towards that.

@Zoe7sounds like you have some good plans in place for this to all happen. I do so hope things go your way and that is all runs smoothly for you. You deserve that so very much.
It is hard when you loose that support. I know things change and people move on, it just seems lately that there have been more changes than normal.

There have been a lot of changes lately and I really do not like change. The biggest ones for me have been NikNik and Pebbles @Snowie - 2 wonderful supports that have had a significant impact for me. It is tough but I am working through it slowly
I am seriously considering just going to work on Monday morning and not waiting for a reply - that way I will know what the Principal is thinking and if I can get started.
The plan is to get back to work for 2 full days next term - preferably earlier in the term and then work up to 4 days by the end of term - that may mean I need to be at a different school but at this stage I am willing to do that ...and I will need the money as my Income Protection finishes in December. I would love to know I am getting paid over the holidays as well.

Totally agree @Zoe7. Have found Pebbles leaving to have a big impact. She helped me so much on HC at times. I guess something we have to learn to live with.
Going into work on Monday might help. At least it will show the principal how serious you are about this and how much you want this to work out.
Seems a lot of our decisions come down to money don't they.
Will have to say goodnight hun. Have taken my meds and can feel them pulling me under. I wish I could stay and chat longer but really need some sleep.
