Hi WhatHappened
Happy New Year to you and all the other fruit loops. Maybe email the Community Team about the problem you are having logging in sometimes and they may be able to shed some light on why it's happening.
Best wishes

Hi Snowys Mum lovely to hear you are enjoying new things. Only way to be.
WhatHappened trust message could be dodgy too. Don’t click on any links. I’ve had “odd” emails and I report them to the “fraud line”. Same with dodgy texts. Hope your mam gets plenty of contact in the coming year. Like your strategy for next Xmas but even November is too early for me !!

Wishing all the fruit loops a very happy new year!!
I've not been on the forum for a while. I have had a dreadful time with work. No allowances for my medical history. I have been working 12 to 14 hour days for months. I had reached a point I was worried for my health so when I was approached about my dream job I accepted it and handed in my resignation. Then the job wbich I was due to start on 6 Jan and which would have been full time working from home, they told me a week before Christmas no longer existed, following a restructure. I had an interview on the Thursday for another firm and was offered the job. It is full time in the office! I start the new job on Monday but have made it very clear from the get go that I shall not work more than my alloted 9 to 5. I am anxious about starting again at 61.
I also had a fall 4 weeks ago and badly sprained my ankle. I have been on crutches, so driving to work will be an interesting challenge. I have not had any time off and I left my last job on 23rd December on a high. My monthly billing target was £15,000 (conveyancer) and in 3 weeks I billed over £52,000. However, when I told them my new job had fallen through snd asked if I could stay they said no!
It is so lovely to read all your positive posts and I apologise for my negativity. I find this time of year makes me depressed and anxious about recurrence. I so admire you all for your continuing positive outlook.
I am hoping 2026 will be a far better year than 2025 although some wonderful things still happened including the birth of my 4th grandchild in August on the same date as her 2 year old brother!
I also had confirmation the pain in my groin, although an irregular lymph node, was not deemed to be sinister - as I had been anxious about secondary cancer due to the site of the pain. Fingers crossed it stays that way as the MRI was done last December and it took them 11 months to let me have the results!!
Hope 2026 is going to be super-kind to all Fruit Loops
Happy New Year, all

Wishing all the Fruit Loops all the very best for 2026!
For those who have struggled through this year, just look back and be proud to say, YOU MADE IT and 2026 could be a fantastic year for you. Love Sal xxxx
Lovely words Sal.
I also saw someone interviewed saying rather than sayinv 'I have to do....', if you say to yourself 'I get to do....' it already feels more in your control and a positive thing, even if it is something you would rather not do.
I am going to try it out!
Well today " I get to clean the bathroom" Tomorrow I get to go have a second round
Three times! What did I do?
