    Happy birthday for yesterday Pooky :kisses3:

    :grouphug: Bookie. Look at your sig, just 19 days... how long are you in Atlanta for?

    Tig, I got an email claiming to be from Natwest that took me to a fake login that looked EXACTLY like the real thing. I put in some fake numbers and it took me to a screen saying complete ALL your login and security details! It can be so easy, barstewards :mad:

    Right I am not here for the next two hours, if you see my light on PLEASE kick me, hard, I have an essay due on Tuesday that I am FOUR weeks behind on the reading for, this one is serious and my self-disciplnie is just gone, I could go on and on about all the pointless tasks I have done this week to avoid studying... but I'll log off and do some work instead.

    I get loads of fake emails from Lloyds, HSBC, Cahoot etc, none of which I even have accounts with!
    I always delete them immediately

    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.

    I've had a couple of genuine emails from my bank which look more fake than the fake ones. I always always go to the bank homepage and log in from there, never click a link on an email, genuine or not.

    One good thing in the post though. I wrote to one supplier offering them a choice of their titles as returns against a bill of £76. They are taking them all back which mwans they will owe me money!

    If anyone has an O'Neills surf wear shop near them it may be worth checking out. They've closed some warehouses and dumped the stock on their shops to get rid of. Hubbles just picked up about £220 worth of stuff for £20

    :rotfl:I'm okay - I was just wallowing in a alcohol induced depression.....you know the little parrot on your shoulder...you are old enough to know better, what do people think of you, I wasted money on a concert I didn't even see, I feel sooooo ill..:rotfl:get the picture.

    I am okay now firing on all cylinders - even managed to do nearly six hours of work already:eek:
