Long Time No See

[queenofmean]

How are we all? I know I've been AWOL for some time, but I needed time away to focus on everything that life decided to throw at me. 
 

Hubby and I are waiting on me getting my toosh in gear so we can move forward with IVF.

Qualified as a Proofreader/Copy Editor earlier this year. 
 

Health saga - gets shorter then longer again at the drop of a hat. 
 

Missed you all.

Queenie

Lovely to see you back Q of M - and all the luck in the world for your IVF treatment.  Congratulations on the editing thing too.  X

[queenofmean]

Thank you Rosie29. It's nice to be back!

Thank you :)

When you say you qualified as a proofreader/copy editor, was it an online course or at a college?  Just wondering as I often see adverts in newpapers for online courses.

[queenofmean]

Brainiac, it was through Center of Excellence. It could be done online or as I chose to do the Hard Copy as it's my preferred method of learning. But it was a Diploma course, passed with 97%. 

[brainiac]

That's great, QoM - has it led to any work?

[bednobs]

are you finding you are getting much work? could one make a living from it?

[Peter Pedant]

hope the new things go OK

welcome back

Fingers crossed for the IVF and everything else

Hi QoM,

Good luck with IVF treatment & well done with qualifying as a Proofreader! x

 

[queenofmean]

Brainiac - not at the moment. I did a little freelance while I was studying. As my hubby is in the process of looking for work where we plan to live we decided both of us starting new jobs at the same time maybe wasn't the best idea. I haven't settled on if I want to freelance or work for a company yet. 
 

I've not looked yet Bednobs as per above, but yes you can make a living from it quite a good one if any of the jobs I have seen are anything to go by. 
 

Thank you PP and Barry! I've floated in the wings now and again but I felt now was a good time to come back. 

[queenofmean]

Thank you Patsy! 

I can't wait to get started on the IVF just need my diabetes to play ball a little better.

Nice to see you, QoM!  Well done & best wishes for the IVF treatment x 🙂

[queenofmean]

Aww thank you L-I-K. It's nice to see you again too!

Welcome back Queen, nice to hear from you again, congrats on academic achievement, and good luck with the IVF.

[queenofmean]

Thank you Canary, it's nice to be back. I'll try not disappear again.

What a lovely up-beat post, queenie :) Well done on your studies - you will soon be on the Chase! I believe Anne was a proof reader once ;) Wishing you and yours all the best with both new employment and IVF of course.

Oh look, it's nungates daughter 😲. I hope your diabetes calms down for the future .

[Ellipsis]

Welcome back, Queenie. Please don't proofread anything on AB ... things have gone badly downhill since me, and it seems many other people, have started using a mobile phone to post!
