Apologies guys - am just having one of those "feel sorry for myself" type days. Please ignore it! Dont want to bring anyone else down... I'll be back up and about in no time - promise.

I do occassionally stay away from those things, but really is now impossible. I would never attend anything I was invited to... and for the most part its not that hard, really.... i guess.... its hard enough losing friends as they inevitably start hanging out with others who have kids and we sort of fall by the wayside - if I didnt attend these things, I would wonder how long it would take before they all went that way....

see, ho hum.... having a big woe is me!

like I say - ignore it!
