Well, you got me there V!!!
- I nearly turned my computer off, as all this black and red writing came up, thought it was a diff company called offtopic, nothing to do with this forum Lol - this new layout got me for sure!!!
I can't separate the different threads though - you know, from how they were before - there's no shading to highlight them to make them easier to separate when looking at the lists of threads to reply to. That's confusing now.
Anyway - I have had tons of things going on since I was last on here on 10th of this month, even then it was brief I think.
I do owe a huge apology to two ppl on here especially tho, as I have let them down. It wasn't intentional, but even so:
I owe the apologies to Quart and Eyz - I am so so sorry that I didn't get back to you Quart, to complete rest of our poem - and to you Eyz, because I promised to do it.
I don't know where to begin, as a number of things have bn happening - frm extremely gd, to very bad.
I hope I haven't upset you both, for letting you down - Quart, we were doing well with our poem too. I really and truly am very sorry.
Mainly, I have bn falling aslp at real early times of the night lately without any warning at all - it just happens, but only in the evening, so I haven't bn able to post due to that.
Then, have had my son home a few days as he hasn't bn great.
Have had some late weekend nights out too, when my son has had his contact weekends.
Then, was out all day last Saturday - 12th May - MY OTHER HALF TOOK ME OUT AND PROPOSED TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I SAID YES!
This is my Engagement ring, but looks a whole lot nicer in real life:

Then, had a bad dizzy turn mid-week, but got a call frm my son's school while I was sitting trying to recover at work, to go collect him as he wasn't feeling great either. My boss/friend took me luckily - he and I just both needed to rest - have bn exhausted for too long and have pushed it too far. It caught up with me in end. My son wasn't great due to not having his glasses - he broke his last pair, but we had to wait a week to get his new ones, so he suffered headaches for a week, bless him.
Anyway, after my ecstatic news above, me and my son may not have still bn here if things got any worse the other night - I'd left something on the hob to boil, did what I have bn doing for a long time now and fell aslp, woke up to my smoke alarm going off - luckily it woke me. At 1st tho, I didn't realize what was going on and even tried ignoring the noise to go bk to slp! Then I realized, went to see what was what - my house was full of smoke!!!!!!
Luckily, my son is OK - he got scared, but coped well - I coped well at the time, but it was after the event when it all sunk in the nxt morning that I didn't cope - it did my head right in, with what happened. It has affected my chest but am recovering and I will be OK too - this was Thursday this all happened, late night.
I am ok about it now, but very very wary of everything more so now because of it - I just thank my lucky stars my son is ok and that we are both here to tell the tale - it was bad, so how we didn't get worse than we were, I dnt know.
Then, this weekend has bn hectic too.
Now, finally, am bk online.
I see there are pages of threads - goodness knows how I will get to catch up. Dnt think I will be able to on all of the threads tho.
Pls cld someone point me in the right direction to read up where the first thread is re the new layout? Thanks, cos I really need to read that.
Well, that's very brief, for my standards Lol, but need to start reading up now.
I have missed you all though and hope you have all bn OK?
