    Today - I further wrecked my carpet and broke a glass by dropping a cup, I still can't drive well so nearly caused an accident, I'm sat here in tears because I can't make an account balance, I feel so sick it's unreal (no reason for it) and he's not replying to emails.
    I'm not taking anything for the pain (add to above), it all further upsets my stomach so not worth it.


    Gemmzie,

    carpets can be cleaned or claimed for on your insurance.....

    and the accounts... leave them for a bit, have a cup of tea or coffee, a biscuit and have 1/2 hr for yourself. then go back the the accounts and you'll probably find where the balance has gone to!

    how about a sleep? Are you at work or at home? The cup/carpet /glass don't matter, they can safely be put tothe back of your mind.

    For the pain, is there nothing you can take? Anti-inflammatories can cause tummy upsets but there are various painkillers available from a GP. How about a heat pad on it, would that help?

    Yeah the pain and the stitches, can't grip the gear stick so stuck in and getting pressure from everyone else to drive. Probably, not sure. Think I've sussed the accounts. I have paracetamol, might have to give in and take that. Yeah had lunch. Thanks Sally :)

    Sorry missed further replies,
    Can't really claim on household insurance, we can't afford for it to go up, the carpets only a year old and it's my responsibility.
    *hugs* much appreciated.
    At home now BB, I might try and sleep actually, might calm me down a bit.

    Gemmzie - others have already suggested everything I can think of, so will just send you a (((hug))).

    Keep talking to us, it does help to have someone who will listen.

    Accounts never balance when you're stressed about them Gemzie - I once spent a day looking for 1p! WALK AWAY.
    Have a cuppa and a snooze with a hot water bottle. xx

    Ok Gem, tell those giving you pressure to drive to take a running jump...you have to do it when its right for you. Take some paracetamol and have something small to eat so it will make your stomach less irratable. Leave the accounts for the moment and go back to them in a while

    i stopped off for petrol on saturday, say £20 plus incidentals at the local shell/co-op place... paid by debit card and my account shows that i have been debited £2.70.......

    now this means the garage have undercharged me and i didn't notice when i did my pin thing.... obviously hasn't put thru the petrol.... do you think they'll have my reg on file... i'm a bit worried as i go there all the time.....

    i don't want to be black listed as a petrol nicker when i intended to pay for it, it's been their mistake obviously....

    cripes!!!

    Maz, I don't want to alarm you as this is not meant to...but when that happened to my OH they sent the police round to where he worked...(it was a co car)! He bought an apple at the same time and paid 7p on debit card and didn't notice that they hadn't charged him for the petrol. He had to go back and pay and then report to the police....He was NOT happy!! however he did get an apology from the petrol station eventually after complaining.....

    Afternoon everyone else btw :)

    Had to leave work half an hour early today because I had 2 separate phonecalls, one from nursery, one from school, both saying the kids were sick.

    Natasha has spots, Ryan has a temperature.

    I feel like they have both been constantly ill recently, poor things. :A

    Apart from that, my car being poorly too, and falling out with Stu, it's been a really good couple of days... :rotfl: :rolleyes:
