    I am having a crappy day... just one of those days really. I transferred all of our savings a couple of weeks ago to a fixed bond thing. I only left enough in my current account for the rent, bills and a bit of canada money. I looked on the bloody bank this morning and the rent payment has gone out twice.

    I paid it manually on Thursday and cancelled the payment I had set up, just because I was shuffling money about and wanted the rent paid, few days early but it makes no odds. But obviously the bank didn't cancel my payment and they've sent it. Of course now it's all fast payments it's already in her account.

    I went to call her, but I've lost my mobile phone, it contains every number I ever use. I switched it off while I was in a recording session yesterday and last saw it in my handbag, not in the car or at the studio.

    Amber (my autistic 11yr old) has become a lady today (if you catch my drift) and it's a nightmare, she hates wearing clothes and is totally refusing to use anything.

    Jas is doing my head in, when she was sick she lost a ton of weight and is stick thin but she's now not eating because she likes being skinny.

    STILL no news from the management about Fran's potential gig. He was told last week it was almost a certainty and that he should go and get a refresher course on using protools in a live environment. It'll cost about £300 for him to get the school to do a crash course and I'm not paying for that until we get 100% yes. he's supposed to start on tuesday.

    :D so there's my day... how are you lot?

    Oh and huge congrats Maz that is an awesome achievement :T

    Toto, I know it's probably really difficult for Amber but if you speak to your GP they might be able to give her something to stop them, I'm not sure what but a friend's sister had to do that.

    How old is Jas? Maybe you could show her some stuff on how being too thin can damage her body?

    I am going to take her to the docs Gem, the school suggested the depo shot but I had that and it triggered the most god awful migraines. I reacted really badly to it and it took a good 2 years to recover from that one jab. So, I am very wary about her having that. I guess we'll just have to put her on a continuous pill or something.

    Jas is 13 on Tuesday. She knows what's going to happen if she gets too thin but to be honest the more attention I am giving this the more she does it. I am hoping it's just a phase and I am trying not to make a fuss. She hated being in hospital and I have told her that's where she'll end up if she doesn't get the right vitamins etc. She just stormed off in true 13 year old fashion and slammed the door.
