    Snaggles, great plan, but she'd say I was blackmailing her, blah blah.

    I've just told OH

    and I'm sorry but I don't have to prove it* to anyone - it's my life. Even if I wasn't coping with everything, it's still my choice how to live and where to get help

    * that I can cope alone

    Apparantly this is making me sound crazy.

    Time for big changes.

    Z, thanks again. I'm talking to him on facebook and he's trying to make me out to be unreasonable and manipulative!

    Yes, they do that. Just keep repeating yourself. They see a weakness and try to open it up until you give up. That trick doesn't work with repetition.

    Haha, I don't think she'd be a hitman, but hopefully I can find the strength to face up to confrontations with family instead of backing down for an easy life.

    When I first moved in they didn't deliver to this area, and now that I'm getting in control of what I buy home delivery is a good option, as long as I could get free delivery of course! I suppose I could just get the heavy stuff delivered and go buy the fresh stuff myself.

    Ermm...aren't you paying £30 each for them?

    That pays quite a bit of delivery charges. It could even pay for a lesser-spotter school leaver to go shopping for you.

    She doesn't get the cleaning thing no. I spilt a bag of coffee on the kitchen floor weeks ago, but can't do anything about it because she's got my hoover. I keep asking for it back, but she wont give it back until she's vacc'ed her whole flat. God knows how long it'll take!

    It will never be done. She believes she's scored a hoover. Insist on it back. Get the rest of your family to remind her to return it. All of them.

    No she can't, dad's even more fed up with her sponging off him than I am. And she flatly refuses to go back there anyway.

    With regards to the PB disc, how do I find the i386 directory? Stick it in my pc? what if it automatically starts rebooting :confused: Everythings backed up but I dont want to 'have' to get a pc asap :rotfl:

    Just stick it in. Your PC will not reboot. If it does go off (unlucky powercut) just fish it out again...
