Title: And she's back in the room!
Post by: mandycharlie on February 28, 2018, 04:44
Hello again!

Well it has been a long time. What have I been up to, well I finally got used to my alopecia, then after learning to knit socks, which the desire started from this very board, I did a little dressmaking course, which led to a btech in fashion, which I fast tracked one year instead of two, and got starred distinctions, when then led into a degree at the University of the Arts London, (not bad for a fat late forties bald person!) doing bespoke tailoring, think saville row suits, so trolled around London for four years, but then the Warwickshire countryside called to me so loud it screamed, so I'm back home. Hubby had in the meantime given up my plot - if there were ever grounds for divorce, grumble grumble - so I've been on the waiting list, but it has all come good and we have been offered a delightful little plot on the same track we were on, so it's all good and we take it on tomorrow.  And in other news, the boys have grown and gone and we have a gorgeous whippet puppy (who's just broke his leg, don't ask! , but he's mending) called Rupert to keep us company with whippetty kisses and cuddles. And how's things with you?

Hello there, my word that is a lot of lifestyle changes, congratulations on getting another plot, made me laugh when you said grounds for divorce when hubby gave your other one up, I thought death might have been more suitable.
