Not so bad now, the reason for the absence was the sudden death of my father, but I've had a month or so to get over the shock and am focusing on helping out my Mum as best I can. During the same period I have managed to graduate though, so that has helped cheer everyone up, and Emma has been amazing through all of it, so I'm doing ok :)

I hope life is treating you well as well (I do read your userpage regularly btw).

Looking for a job so the absence may have to be continued :(.

Thanks, I have heard that a lot, but it still helps to know so many people care. Mum and sis are doing ok, its amazing how a little bit of time can start healing even the worst pain.

Also thanks for the congrats, though I did look a right fool dressed up in the robes and silly hat! On the job front it very much is an open book, I've decided to stay in Bath so anything I can find in the area is all I am looking for at the moment!

Hope your life is on an upward turn at the moment!

Yeah, I remember ya, welcome to the Barracks etc. I'm not too active at the moment (as this blog post explains), but I still pop in every now and again- good to see you are increasing your activity a little!

I try to, but I miss days very now and then (quite a lot in the last two weeks actually). I don't especially care though, I'm rather proud that I've never asked anyone else to deposit for me- I doubt there are many others with this much EXP that can say that.

This place is hard to shake off! Good luck with your graphic design stuff!

Ha, quite a coincidence! I lived in Reigate (Woodhatch end hence being that little bit closer to Gatwick than you!) most of my life, but moved to Bath to go to University- graduated this year, but still living here for the time being.

I knew BBM lives in Reigate, but it seems there are more NGers from that little part of the world than I realised!

Yeah, I know the area pretty well, I do pharmacy deliveries sometimes in the Summer and there are always a few around there. Plus I used to work at Horley Anderson as a lifeguard, and McDonalds runs were a regular occurrence (not that I ever wanted any).

Ha, Townsends! Yeah, I do some for them and the one over the road whenever the delivery drivers aren't around/can't be arsed to do it, which is far too often. My Mum is one of the pharmacists that works there (though mainly on the other side of the road), so I'm the poor sucker that gets roped in to do it. My sister has worked there in the past as well.

Small world...
