Indeed. Debating whether or not to take aspirin to go with the paracetamol.

Don't get me started on the staff at the tax credit office...I know their job must be tough at times but even so, many of them don't seem to have their fair share of brain cells. I had a "conversation" with a bloke who told me how much I would get a week & also how much the award was for the year, & after I'd told him FIVE TIMES that 52 times the weekly amount was nothing like the yearly one, he still didn't get it & just kept reading the same numbers off the screen. I told him it wasn't rocket science & he hung up on me. And another time they managed to cancel off their system 6-months-worth of childcare costs which at that time was a fortune as DD was only 2, they then told me I owed them £2,000 & despite the fact it was all their fault I had to write / appeal / beg & grovel over months to get it sorted.

Sorry, you got me started. What wouldn't I give to not need their money.

I was thinking about what Budgie said to fedupski about changing her name as the negativity might be a self-fulfilling prophecy, & wondered if I should do the same! If winebox disappears & "slim&sober" starts posting you'll know it's me

Maybe I should change to jo1988, then I'll be 21 again, before all my problems began!

I was thinking this morning that it's DD1's 17th birthday tomorrow and I didn't drink at all back then really, apart from a couple on a friday night out (not whilst pregnant obviously!), where did it all go wrong??

Hold on, nearly lost the positiveness then :eek:
