    I still feel sick.

    Eastenders is on at 8 so shall watch that.

    Was really tired last night, OH went to bed about 10.30, I put the washing in the tumble dryer and thought I'd lie on the settee for a bit, this was about 10.40, next thing I know it's 1.50am, I must have been really tired.

    we only need 1 more person in our facebook group to reach 100... anyone interested?

    today has been mad day actually feel rather run down. bit faint and shaky :-(

    tomorrow work, weds work, weds night meeting, thurs work blah blah but its necessary. put OH car on autotrader today. will see what happens there. would be great to get rid of if, pay off the finance and see if there is any left over. the cyprus pay out did not happen today which is a real problem.. hey ho.. like im not used to problems?

    I hope the car sells....you know about the rip off 'I sell your car online' scammers that 'phone all the autotrader ads? They make out they have loads of purchasers waiting for your model..just give them £90. It's a con.

    I do try to read here most days but am a bit clogged up workwise so don't always post as my brain is in a different place.
    Also lost half a day today as my very good friend has just thrown out her partner and father of their 1 yr old child.
    I drove over and she seems very calm but I am worried. She moved in with us after her husband left her for another 3 years ago and took a while to recover...if she ever did.

    I read back but wasn't sure about what you meant about Cyrpus ££ not coming in..is that the tenants not paying? Could youafford to drop the price down for a quick sale?

    And a :)to everyone else...

    in january we should be getting our rental payment for the last 12 months.. usually about 25k... however 2 years running it has been late....

    it was promised this morning ... not arrived.... :-( it goes towards the cyprus mortgage and then we have what ever is left over... really need that money!

    yes i know about scammers... dont forget we were the silly little idiiots who fell for the 17k fake bankers draft thingy!

    What fake bankers draft? Please don't say you lost 17k? I haven't heard of that one.
    25k....I wouldn't be able to sleep as would be continually checking bank account online. Will there be spare to wipe out a card?

    That is awful mrscmr, you must have felt so sick. Glad you got the car back though, the nerve of some people to do that to another person.

    How are you this evening? Did you manage to find some energy from somewhere?
