Must try harder!

Joanne, it's great that you've decided to stay. I think you've given all a wake up call and that's a good thing. It must be so hard for you being away from friends and family, and with Andy working away so much. I know exactly what you mean about conversations with the dogs, my two are exactly the same, yawning in the middle of a juicy bit of gossip - doesn't do much for your self confidence! If you're ever in need of a human ear feel free to let me know, we can always exchange numbers and talk on the phone.
