The Baroness cuts a much more assertive and influential figure than her reserved appearance previously suggested.

A fitting tribute to m'lady, for her dedication to a slightly unhinged Baron, would perhaps be a slap-up meal and a dozen roses ! :O xx

Don't encourage her please! Unless you're paying obviously :)

How's Sharon's course going by the way ; wasn't it accountancy ? She must be well into it by now though I know it's a lengthy process. x

Surveying. Sadly she was forced to quit the course three or four months ago. After initial promises to allow for home life and working full time, the uni kept forcing work upon her to the extent that there simply weren't the hours in the day. It just became too much and breaking point was reached. With a heavy heart, the dream died...

What a rotten shame ! I didn't realise she also works full time ; what a little grafter she is.

I hope that when the kids are older it might be her time to shine ! You were lucky finding Sharon ...................but you already know that. ;-) x

The dream is dead in the water, sadly. She already works at a surveyors office in Lincoln, as a secretary, P.A. It's a five to six year stretch to complete the course by the time the work is done, the year's experience working on site, etc. She obviously speaks to the surveyors where she works and they all feel it's a bit late to start now, while she has a family life to sacrifice. And by the time she hasn't, she'll be too old really to begin.

Yep, she's always worked full time, we wouldn't be able to pay the bills if she didn't. Just need that elusive lottery win...

Sharon only needs to keep on doing what she's already doing to be a high achiever in my book. I know I'm a bit biased but doing a full time job which carries responsibility, raising two children (with all associated issues) and being a wife to a BI survivor is pretty damned full-on !

I've nothing but respect for your lady. xx
