    Just had a call from Mum, Nan is being moved to HDU, she has now started to respond a little to the meds, but wasn't responding at all earlier. Lots of family are there with her... benefits of a large family, they all pull together x

    Im actually a bit worried I might not have a job soon. Its been soooo quiet at work the last week and today boss said to me that she has no money in the account, invoices to pay and obviously wages to pay in the next 2 weeks. :eek:

    Oh heck Sally - that sounds a bit familiar. Hope you sell some prams mighty quick!

    Just blasted the bank into orbit. Apparently business manager was off sick today and yesterday. Odd that he has a sec to make appt but not cancel them and that he tried to phone this morning.
    Finally got a senior manager and let rip. He was in the car (obviously knocked off early) but will phone back tomorrow - where have I heard that before. They have to send me the final demands for payment so that it can then go to collections dept 7 days later who can negotiate or work out a way forward and I should just ignore the letter. Communication would have saved a lot of worry.
    Couldn't explain why they are still trying to pay cancelled DDs.

    May have to bawl again.

    Thanks Sally - going to Ladies' supper at church tonight but only 1 glass provided in the cost, we have to pay for the rest. May need the spade if one of our visiting 'missionary' team tell me to trust or ask me if I believe!

    Sorry about your shop - I can identify wwhere your boss is and it's a horrible situation and worrying for you. Hope you sell a lot of stuff real quick - I'd mail order for DD2 but I have no money.
