    Sorry things are wet and droopy fig. and lit. for you hg - I freecycled some Get Fit vids for someone to collect yesterday and they're still at the gate in a rather wet bag.
    I know no-one can haul you from the Slough Of Despond when things feel flat and dreary and a bit hopeless, all the more when you feel you've somehow failed in your own self-set goals or to-do's.
    May I just settle for a gentle sitting down with you as I bring in two mugs of whatever? - sometimes a companionable presence is enough to help you start.
    Mine is there, to be shooed away by virtue of being virtual, if you're feeling better this morning.
    Take heart - will check in later to see how your day has gone.

    I took a few days off myself as constantly thinking and filling in stuff can get on top of you. I felt better for it and I hope you do :D

    Take care

    well after a mentally draining day at work filling in a spreadsheet, which i finished bang on the dot of 5! i decided i would tackle the credit card statements, so they have been organised into their own separate folders (case of having to) hopefully the OR will take one look at it all and give me ED there and then so he doesnt have to wade through them all. I was going to laboriously print off all my lloyds statements but decided that as they've had enough of my money in the last year, they could have the job so have ordered a years worth of statements for each account. hee hee.:p

    no nasty post really, a nice one from the co-op with my first statement :)
    and one from Lloyds to tell me that id cancelled the dd payment for my loan (no really!?) and could i contact them with details of another account to pay it from , my answer to that was 'up yours' but on a good note my wine was delivered from sainsburys so thats been opened:T

    Hi amps, thank you for the mug of whatever earlier, it was very nice, i had a quick read of things at work this afternoon whilst i was filling in my spreadsheet and it gave me a nice lift. Im not too despondent at the moment as ive only got 3 weeks today to go, the only thing worrying me is whether or not i'll have the fees, couldnt put any aside out of pay as it was needed for other things.:mad:

    Managed to pop another £9 into the pot, this months statement from the halifax, a letter from the halifax asking me to phone them and if i didnt someone from a collection would call and another letter from john lewis.

    Opened them all, and put them aside to go into their respective folders

    Hello again haleygrey - you're tackling everything, biting bullets galore and doing SO SO VERY well.
    Shall I change that mug for a glass?
    I'm about to replenish hottie, but am only too willing to salute a brave, capable lady and save the champers(or other - your choice)for 20 days' time, when that load will be GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE, for good.
    Wrap up well over the next few days - weather forecast's for heavy snow over our side - and think of it as another BR Day buffer.
