Hi

I'm Jenny, invited to join by Ric.

I live in Havant, which is near Portsmouth, Hampshire, South Coast UK. I am 58 years old, spent most of my life in IT and now a network marketer with several different products and services. This is an ideal type of occupation for anyone whose thyroid condition keeps them out of the 'normal' workforce.

I am separated (since Jan.2006) from my second husband John who left me partly due to the problems my hypothyroid symptoms were causing in our marriage and it has been very hard to accept and get over that.

My main leisure interest is sailing. If I am feeling too tired to go out in my dinghy and race, I very often help running club racing and spent many years on the club committee till a major depressive episode recently.

I also enjoy cooking and good food, keen 'green' and spend many hours each day online - 'Twittering' about my networking businesses and talking to friends on Skype and MSN

Jenny

Jenny,

Havant....the new station was done by us (SSshhh

not telling you who we are) but we were the consultants and not the contractors...no if something is not right than you can safely blame them

What did you do in IT? Manage servers or resolve technical issues of the users? I really like going into IT but sometimes I think it's just too late now. Is money any good in that profession?

Nice one re sailing....hope you dont spend too much on it.

Good to see you on board and hope you stay with us

to the forum, Jenny.

It sounds as though you have a busy life, I hope that means you are doing well on your meds. and do not suffer too much from symptoms.

Take great care.

Ginny
