    Hi Fay,

    Just a quick note to thank you for all your help with the DSA assessment. OH was there today and was quite calm as he knew what to expect. They recommended some equipment and help with scribing so we'll wait and see what the final report says. As it's very specialist doesn't look like any Quidco opportunities :o but he's very chuffed as he's getting a camera set up he's been lusting after.

    Many many thanks for you help with this.

    Check out Martyn's email gals - La Senza 2 pairs of flanelette PJ's for £20, go via quidco for 14% off. Buy 4 pairs & free delivery.

    I just bought 6 pairs :o

    No stripeys but lots of tartan :)

    Well, the red & white ones are stripey if you haven't got your glasses on :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Hello - thanks for that - I saw them when I was in the Gyle (shopping centre) and bought 2 pairs for xmas tartan and spots (one for dd and one for me) - I was doing the quidco do I dont I thing, but wasn't sure about free delivery to here - so I caved in!

    Rats and double rats - they are indeed bargainous!

    I also got some stuff in Markies which do deliver here and get quidco as well but don't mention that to me........................it was the mainland, I was sucked in:rotfl:

    Chev will send you an email!

    Writing is going so slowly, I get muddled then I panic then I write more - I need to sort that out - its doing my own head in.

    It takes so long to read things properly - then I think OH NO I don't know enough so I read even more, by which time I am more confused than I started.

    I don't seem to be able to draw a line under things and think - yup that's OK - I seem to just think - Oh no I need to read/write more.

    Beginning to seriously look at the whole process and think - Do I want to do this for another 2 years............spoke to a pal who's just had a heartattack at 43 last night via MSN - scary - he told me to slow down and stop panicking.

    She's almost dead. Feels a bit wierd - the overdraft balance is still available - but it's like its no longer available in my own head.
