    does that mean

    a) no one is answering your questions
    b) no one is answering
    c) they have answered and they are not helpful


    a and b I suppose.
    The end is nigh methinks.

    If no one is answering your questions bookie then you need to find someone within the bank that can. Stay on hold until they put you through to someone who can help!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Could be the best thing that happens to you Bookie, I was there in 1992 with a business haemmo...hem..heammo ( Oh sod it ) bleeding cash, enormous Council Rent to pay etc....3 months later, rid of the lot and those that did take me to Court got short shrift from the Judge ( especially when I insisted that we go to a pre-hearing Arbritration....they have to stand there a JUSTIFY taking you to Court, v.awkward as they can be seen as wasting the Courts time!)
    In fact, one who sued me, was then told in the Response that they were wasting everyones time, had an order made or me to pay £1 per month on a £130 debt....and THEY were charged £94 by the Court!!)

    It looks like a mountain, but a mountain is just a pile of little stones..deal with them one at a time. xx

    ( those who lend to Businesses have to accept that they are making an investment in that Business and they can go up or down. They accept the risk....thats the Courts view)

    Pepe, I would love to walk away and get a life. Every other day I get out of bed determined to do just that. BUT I would lose my house, not have a life and no job prospects. So every other day I get out of bed determined to fight back and make a go of this place.
    I am gradually going stark raving bananas! :rotfl:

    Bookie, I haven't been on here very long so I don't know whether you only sell new books, but have you thought about maybe offering second hand books as well, where you offer people say £1 per book or something then put your margin on top then resell? Hope you don't think I'm sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong :o

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I'm having one of those days

    I hope the fire service do better when people's houses are on fire :) I was supposed to have them come round for a fire safety check at 1.45. I rushed around town and got back at 1.35... they aren't here yet and can't see them turning up at all.

    I found a medium blonde hair colour in the drawer so I thought I'd stick it on to brighten up my hair a bit. I now look a bit ginger.

    My son wants to move out into his mate's house 20 miles away, he is 18 and I don't have a problem with it in theory apart from that I can see him dropping out of college if he does.

    The baby has got the hump today (teeth again I think)

    And, I just broke 2 nails sticking up a stupid stair gate.
