  • Yikes - 98 items!! Don't know how you keep track, you must be ultra-organised! I want to know what Damita sold too, that's great going!

    Cinny are you going to tell your Granddad about your topshop purchase? I feel good about my book retail therapy last night I have to say, I got a cookery book, a book on language, something else (?) and a Bear Grylls book for OH as I was feeling generous!

    Hope you feel better soon Dinah, get those steroids down your neck!

    Hopefully at least 150 items up by Sunday, but that's my limit, any more than that gets to be madness on the packing front!

    Need to find the new pack of steroids yet. Can't remember what I did with them.

    Boots have taken my money, and sent me a dispatch note. A lot of people got their orders cancelled, but I'm taking this as a good sign.

    Generally doing okay, but just called A & L, they accepted a full and final settlement of £1013.66, which was the ammount I was contensting. I get the impression I could have paid less, but that was the ammount I felt I owed, and I have paid this now, and the account has been closed. I'm actually sat here in floods of tears, it feels like I can finally close that chapter of my life, and move on from my violent ex. I don't have anything tying me to him now, I can look forward to a optemistic future. Wish I could call OH, but he's busy with his dad and all stressy and doesn't need me crying for no reason!

    Thanks CMD. Feel daft for being all emotional, but it took so long and so much out of me, both the relationship and the bank account, that I'm so glad to be done with it all.

    Well, you should be proud of yourself and at least you have a lovely OH who thinks the world of you now.
