    Glad your payment is sorted Linda - that must have been a shock!

    It certainly was!
    I nearly fainted when I thought I'd done 41 hours extra for £200 measly quid!

    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.

    Becky, I thought I'd read that wrong at first, a WEEK?! That's more than my yearly income!

    Tigzem, I bought some lovely pj's from Asda last winter, but they fell apart really quickly. So instead I've got some jogging bottoms for £3 and long sleeved t shirts for £1.75. They're better for the days I can't get dressed too, I can answer the door or whatever without looking too lazy!

    Linda, that's an awful 'mistake' for them to make.

    I've just put HP on too, but it's chilly so I might go to bed with my book instead.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Well its not unusual around here to see stuff for up to £3,000 a week but £15,000 is just stupid - who has that kind of money a week

    Its nearly £800,000 a year - in rent!!!
