    I had to dig the plant up because it was going a bit crazy, so I froze some thinking it would be a good idea... :confused:

    Snaggs, if you ever get round to replacing it, plant it in a bucket and bury that in the ground. That way it won't take over as the roots will be contained.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    I wish people would repect themselves and what they have done more. Its easy to say I am x, y and z thats all negative than to sit down and say ok I am still work in progress but I am good at/achived x, y and z... Everyone had flaws, no one is perfect but maybe we should start celebrationing what we are/what we do instead of turning everything into a negative :confused:

    a couple of years ago, I went on a springboard course and at the end of it we had to
    1) write a letter to ourselves (that we'd receive in six month's time) and outline all the things we love/like/admire about ourselves.
    2) get everyone on the course to write one sentence about what they admire about me and then
    3) put it all into an envelope wiht our name/address on and give the envelope to the trainer who posted it out to us six months later

    When that letter arrived on my desk I was feeling really, really low (kinda me versus the world) and it really really lifted my spirits!

    I wish you all had your own letter to read when you need it

    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.

    Are you sure it's not because the banks aren't putting you forward for them? They much prefer you to have a "normal" bank account - they make a third of their money on fees on "free" banking.

    Nope, it was the halifax basic one recommended on here but there was a declaration to say that you've never entered into an arrangement to pay with creditors, so I couldn't finish the application.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
