AUTHOR NOTE
First of all sorry to get your hopes up - this is not a new chapter
I know you are wondering what has happened to me and my story.
Let me start by saying I'm not abandoning my story - I promise to finish it (especially since i have other stories i want to write and i wont start until this is finished).
Now reason for my delay...
As you know I returned to work from maternity leave last year in October. I was working part-time but things had changed a lot since i last left (including who i was reporting into)...
Long story short - my return to work was not a positive experience...the last three months have been extremely stressful filled with ridiculous hours...dealing with bullying/limited support etc
And then to top it off..i had two uncles pass away...
So as you can imagine...my mind is no where in the space to write or do anything but barely function...
Anyway I'm in the process of sorting out my work situation and hopefully once things settle down and i get back my free time (and am not under undue stress) I will find my mojo to write again...
I may try to take time to write up all of the chapters in one go (as there arent too many chapters left before this story concludes) - see how i go.
Point of this announcement is to let you know I'm alive and this story wont be left unfinished.
Just be patient with me...
Thank you to all who have stuck around...
