Hello Doingitanyway. I agree with eating those frogs first thing. Then you're onto a good day! Maybe try to coat them in some chocolate first too!

You have a great philosophy on ignoring how you feel and pushing through. I definitely relate to that. My house is a bit of a project now too, but you have to also remember the positives in that you have your own place, you are self sufficient and you do all that while also dealing with what other things life throws at you. When you feel patronised by them, just remember that the chances are they have a lovely person at home taking on at least half the home chores with them.

Good luck with your frogs. MTx

Sorry reader, I can't get the colour to work properly...

Hello DIA,

Sending hugs to you for your rubbish day yesterday. I think you did the right thing with the plumber. From an outside view it just sounds like your card payment was the only thing that could potentially cause trouble but its hopefully not likely to debit from your account until tomorrow?

Emoticons only show when you click the Go Advanced button under the reply box. Does that make sense?

How are you doing today? I hope you're feeling better.

Hope that you are having a good Sunday

Hey DIA, how did you get on with the plumber? I need to look at booking in an electrician at some point very soon, but feeling nervous about it already. I'm the same as you that my house is clean (other than a previous manky washing machine door seal

) but I just have too much stuff.

Well done on the decluttering and tidying you did yesterday.

Don't worry about coming on here to moan! We all need some space to vent, and it's better on here than in real life?

I hope your day is better today!

Hello MT, thanks for asking.

I can't report anything good I'm afraid as I hardly slept and at 5am I texted to cancel. I said something came up and I had to go in to work. I felt a flood of relief. The funny thing is the other plumber came back straight away and was lovely but this one (who was slow to communicate to start with) took ages to reply and seemed a bit annoyed. Communication or lack of makes me edgy so perhaps he isn't the one to do a big job like a bathroom refurb. I'll still get a quote for comparison, but I doubt I'll use him now. So, I guess something came of it.
However, there is still the issue that I have a leaky pipe and can't use the upstairs sink

Let me know when the electrician is booked so I can cheer you on

Looking around I still need to tidy and clean!!!

I panicked in advance over the debit as it still hasn't come out so I don't have bank charges :j

I found a yoga and meditation class I'm starting on Wednesday evening. I have a year of sorting the house out planned so I need to stop stressing and get what I need to do done.

It's a good day for me as it's pay day and after 6 weeks of money panic, I've been paid

I hope you have a good Monday MT xx and you too reader x

Happy payday :T Mine is tomorrow.....so happy

Enjoy the yoga and meditation class on Wednesday, hopefully it will really help you de-stress.

Have a great week. I see you found the emoticons :T:j:T:j:D

Hello DIA,

Firstly, I've answered your ISA question on my diary.

I really feel for you with the plumber and electrician. My bathroom lights don't work which is why I need an electrician but I've put it off for SO long! We both need to take a deep breath and go for it!

Eyebrows need to be fuller this time of year, to stop water dripping into your eyes!!!

No????

Enjoy your evening. MTxx

Hello DIA,

What would happen if the loan wasn't paid at the same time? My initial assumption is that this is bluster and not yet worth too much worry. If you don't have the money to pay the loan (which I assume you're keeping up to date on payments etc) and you're still within the terms and conditions then what can they do?

On the small amount of info I have, I'd say they're trying it on with you, but there may be more information you've not posted here? If you want to, please feel free to PM me.

Personally, I definitely wouldn't take on a new loan as you're starting from scratch with the interest payments and will end up completely out of pocket. I would do all I could to stand my ground and not pay them anything extra.

How was yoga and meditation?
