    Thanks everyone.....reading through all your comments I can understand why I feel the way I do...think Milann hit it on the head about the seesaw.
    It's just come to me that now I have nothing to worry about ie DDs new house,finding money to pay the debts,waiting for insurance etc etc...my illness is at the front of my mind.I'm also not good at waiting and really need to know what my treatment plan is but am still awaiting my oncologists appointment....got excited yesterday as I had a letter from hospital but it was just for an appointment with my surgeon in 4 months...
    I am ready for whatever treatment they throw at me but need to know my treatment plan so that I can plan stuff for the good days.I especially want to have some days out with JJ in the school holidays.


    Shaun...I too enjoyed our chat the other night and am glad that DT phoned you.The things that are being done at the funeral are beautiful and very moving.
    DT and family will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow and I will go and light a candle and say a prayer at 1pm as I can't get be there in person for them.
    Hope everyone has a good day...

    You sound a little more upbeat today Taxi - hope you are feeling more 'you'.

    PS - My A&L is fine (but then again,I do keep Santander afloat with my charges)
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Bless you Taxi. No wonder you are frustrated, you just need to know so you can plan.
    Fingers crossed they contact you this week, so you can move forward.

    Hope you have a good day x

    Thanks all...

    Am ashamed to say that I haven't been up to anything today really.
    All I've done is some washing and a had a walk to the shop and lolled about all day..lol
    I haven't eaten very healthily this week as we've had a couple of takeaways and we are trying to use stuff up out of the freezers/cupboards..
    Feeling a bit flat the last few days..so need to make an effort to get out and do stuff....jsut a bad few days

    And why not? You've had a few super-busy days so it's only natural to have a few quiet ones afterwards.

    BTW, doesn't Hypno have guided meditation downloads, or something like that?

    Have a good day today, and if it's another lazy one, so what? You deserve it! :D
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    Haven't been out yet...haven't even wrote the cheque out or got dressed.Went back to sleep for a couple of hours instead.
    My A+L lets me put the number in and then says it's having essential maintainance all weekend...very annoying when I need to do the accounts.
