Sorry for my absence

[DizzyGirl]

Sorry I haven't been on here for awhile. It has been a very difficult and hectic year. As you all know my best friend and father both passed away within a month of each other. Changes at my job, made me think about continuing working there. Let's just say I resigned in October and now work full time in our business. My mum has just moved house and my brother lost his job and has moved back in with mum. DS has had some trouble keeping up at school, but I am happy to report that with his teacher and I working together, he is nearly back at grade level.

Hopefully 2013 will be a better year for us, and I will be able to contribute to this wonderful forum more.

Thanks DG x

Welcome back DG!! I was really missing your sense of humour

Best wishes for 2013, and fingers crossed for a nice, peaceful year

Oh thank you everyone for your warm Welcome Back. I have missed you all but was just too busy and emotional to contribute. I did sneak in at times to catch up but because I didn't do it enough, the unread topics became overwhelming and I didn't know where to start.

Hi DG, welcome back as the girls have said.  As you know, we still all said happy birthday to you back on the 20th October so you know you were still in our minds during the 4 months you were missing in action.  It's lovely when one of our much loved members shows up again after an absence.

In answer to your question in your pm to me, I didn't get to the WA retreat, long story but in a nutshell - Geoff ended up in hospital the day beforehand and I was unable to leave him.  However, we are having a retreat in Adelaide next August so hopefully I will be able to get to that one.
