Feeling happy

I've so enjoyed Richard being away this year and I would love it to just go on and on and on. When it was Phil's birthday and I went out for a meal with the boys it was lovely just the three of us. No rows, no stresses and I felt so proud of them both, gorgeously tall handsome young men and all my own work...I glowed with pride. When I tipsley fell into bed that night I thought to myself how happy I was. Exciting new job full of challenges and excitement, more money, good friends, beautiful sons, health etct etc and I thought just how happy I was at that moment and how I didn't need anything else.

This good feeling continued onto Tuesday where Denise and I met with Alex who gave us the belated welcome speech and was able to answer questions. She so enthused and inspired me that I felt I wanted to jump up and start the work now, only to feel frustrated at my lack of knowledge. Still it will come and I really hope I can rise to the challenge set for me.

Met Peter H for lunch and once again the time just whizzed by while we chatted. There is something between us and I'm not sure what it is. I love him as a friend but not sure I could ever be sexually attracted to him but know I could spend ages with him just enjoying his company. He says he won't be contacting Jane again as they had nothing in common and that intellectually they just don't connect. In one way I am sad for him and her but in another I am glad he is still my special friend..how selfish of me.

Chris phoned me today and says he has been nominated to go on a foundation degree course at Sunderland university! I am so proud of that man. All his potential that everyone identified from health visitor to teachers is coming out now. It will be tough doing the degree and working but he is young and can do it if he puts his mind to it.

Just need my Phil to get motivated on something now.

Jayne says Mark has given up yet another job!! She was already panicking over credit card bills etc. The girls have rallied round and loaned or given her money to which I am not majorly impressed as they shouldn't have taken so much off her in the first place! Still must bite my tongue. I wonder how she will cope financially really.

News - McCanns the suspects and all the British press are implying the Porteguse police to be incompetent.

Health - very good although tired.

Mood - very good although frustrated at work by IT and the desire to get started on proper work.

Money - ooops have spent too much on Phil and other stuff so going over drawn.
Weather has been lovely and sunny and warm a nice autumn
