  • ...you have to find a mindset that accepts what is....Go gently.

    and deal with it as best you can in your own way. That's about it, really.

    Thanks all am feeling a bit better..
    You are right ..it really does take over your life.

    I'm really looking forward to my weekend away at Wols at the end of the month.I'll be looked after and have loads of fun...so will take my mind off the crap.

    On the MSE front...have put another £250 in the savings towards the mortgage and have updated my sig...

    the car is at the valeters today and over the pits tomorrow.

    It's looking like we'll have enough to cover the end/beginning of the months bills without using the emergency money and if we can get through august the same (as taxi insurance will be due 6th sept) we'll be home and dry and will be able to put the emergency money into the savings towards mortgage.
