    Well done Lynz, you're doing fantastically with the decorating and the non smoking. Just don't overdo things, your health is the most important thing, if you are in pain, promise me you will stop! :D

    Well I have had my wrists well & truly rapped for not keeping this thread updated with my fantastic, riveting and REALLY fascinating news ;)

    Lifes been a bit, well ploddy recently .

    Try as I might, Im still trying to get bacdk to work. Alas, its looking unlikely. Altohugh I have had some interesting news from the Disability Rights Commission and need to firm up some info with Acas, but generally speaking things are looking a bit more erm negotiable than before. Dont want to say too much too soon.

    the flat renovations continue apace. I need to do a bit tomorrow, jsut havent felt up to it this weekend. But I will. Confirmed cost of the conveyancer. So Im chuffed about that, as it comes in at just under 500 quid. Kitchen, our room & remainder of hall must be completed by monday next. thats how it goes.

    3. Almost, yes, very almost under the 5k threashold. Will have to wait till Wednesday to get myself under

    4. Typically, my case against LloydsTSB has been moved to the mercantile court, which coulod mean, I lose and pay costs. Not only that, but if I lose, no one else will win. I reckon unlikely, but Hell, why not be the pioneer eh? Serves me right for planning to spend it before its in my account god damn.

    Apart from that, Im jusrt plodding really. Dreading going in for my treatment ( oooh only a few more days to go, how exciting!) and generally a bit bored of life.

    But it could be worse I guess :confused:

    The smoking? Well I have not given up. Last Wednesday I went out for a drink and smoked 4, on friday mates came over with booze and I had one. Yesterday I lit up and threw it.

    I have spent £5 on cigarettes since Sunday the 3rd I think, some got rained on, which is the only reason why I bought more, my crutch was ruined ( god i was livid). I did have a smoking cessation clinic to go to, but a good mate of mine said they make you want to smoke more cos you just go on about it all the time, and are constrantly doing excercises about it. Amazingly, Ive got the power of mind to say, Im not bothered right now. So i didnt go.

    I am eating a lot though.

    So,
    • You're on the verge of getting something sorted with work - one way or the other. :j
    • You're on the verge of being sub £5K. :T
    • You're on the verge of getting your LLoydsTSB charges sorted - one way or the other. :T
    • You're on the verge of going in for some treatment, to sort you out. :j
    • You're on the verge of giving up smoking, now that you're down to less than one per day. :A

    And your flat is coming on a-pace.

    But nothing is happening. :p :rolleyes:

    Well underplaying what's happening, and how far you've come will only make your impatience worse.

    Did you ever get your gloss-work sorted out?
