    Hello,

    BF is around to help. He has picked DD up from after school club and taken to Beavers. Also helping with packing and taking my tenancy contract to the agent.

    I am still at work (did see the psychologist thingy thou so had almost 2h lunch break so need to do some catch up anyway). Heading home shortly as colleague has promised to help me with some of my work tomorrow while I am away.

    Session went well today. I didn't think he (it was a he in the end, couldn't make the distinction over the phone :o) wouldn't be able to help me but when the flood gates opened there was no stopping me. He gave me something to read about stress management (ha ha).

    Revelation for today is that during the bad relationship I had I completely lost myself and as I don't know who that person is/was (perhaps I am a bit scared of that person) I am in a mess that I am at the moment. But what I do know is that I am darn lot closer to that person today than I was two years ago. Or perhaps I can find a way to consolidate that old person to the person that I potantially can/want to be. Ok I am welling up again, better get going and have some furry cuddles (if BF has brought his dogs that is :rotfl:)

    After tomorrow it won't be until 18th when I get broadband connected in my new place (if all goes well that is). So might be a bit sporadic posting. However it does give me more time for [STRIKE]stitching[/STRIKE] studying.

    Just to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of you that visit me here.

    Thanks for your help SW re the bailiffs. That shall be my froggie for my Monday lunch break.

    Yep my BF really is an angel. He hasn't been helping with the packing, he has done the packing.

    TV license transferred, gas+electricity+water to do tomorrow (I am sure the managing and estate agents are dealing with those without me needing to get that involved) and old broadband to cancel.

    Move went well, I loooove my new place. And already introduced myself to one of my new neigbour's cats.

    DD going to beaver sleepover tonight. BF might be working late so I shall have a leasurly walk to my nearest shop to buy something nice to eat and then see if I can get the telly working. Bliss.

    Oh forgot to say that BG has done a doo doo and didn't set up my account to direct debit when I moved last time neither when I changed my tariff last time. I have missed out on DD discount. So as an apology they are sending me an energy monitor for free. Well as they say every little helps.
