I thought I should write a big thanks to Simon for this board, not only has it been a big eye-opener to me regarding my past and helped me realise how many people have been through the same stuff as I have, but it's through this board that I've met a wonderful woman, Michelle (Calico Ethel).
Michelle is beautiful, intelligent, funny and luckily for me has terrible eyesight, I feel very fortunate to have met her and hopefully (presuming I can keep on hiding her glasses!) we shall be very happy together in the future.
She has rather recklessly and bravely agreed to move in with me and is moving over at the beginning of February. I just wanted to share that with everyone.
So thank you Simon, I owe you a very large drink.
Hopefully Michelle will be on later to add a photo, unfortunately I wouldn't have a clue how to put a photo into a post.
