    As I said a few weeks ago Hypno, the fact that you are still even considering carrying on with the challenge is amazing! :A

    Hope you're feeling brighter about things today :)

    I think you should phone them back and tell them exactly that ...you have to have figure as you have a weekend of organising and colouring a chart in..would be worth it just for the laughability factor :)

    I have sympathy with the need to plan and organise. I am starting to get all my annual bills for 2010/11 and am keen to enter them into the spreadsheet. I also never got around to setting my annual goals so I feel a bit like I am floundering around with achievements.

    Not sure if it will help but I use this Guardian mortgage repayment calculater and have found it to be accurate to about £1 http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/mortgage-calculator. I can't have another planner suffer;).

    So.....planned evening.

    Get home at 6. Do M/S on phone. Cook something yummy for dinner. Quick whizz round the lounge, soak in the bath, do some number crunching, watch a bit of telly, go and get the kids.

    Actual evening.......

    Got to the driveway. Locked out. Also left mobile phone at home. Kids at the cinema with their dad. Went to neighbours to borrow phone, got hold of OH and asked him to leave DDs key at the cinema foyer.

    Went back to the city.....kindly neighbour gave me a lift.....got DD's keys......walked to the bus.......waited half an hour in the cold for the bus......got to the next village to ours.......lorry hit the bus......wait for bus driver to assess damage.....ring depot.....make arrangements.....

    Got home. Too late to do the phone m/s as they close at 8. Also is last day to do it, so have lost £8.

    Am cold, hungry, feet tired from walking miles. Came home to a letter from solicitor saying house/mortgage all sorted......which somewhat contradicts the message on the answerphone from halifax saying "I'm sorry, but it doesn't seem that anything has been done. I think you need to contact the person who originally advised you in the branch".....:mad:

    And my lovely homemade treat of a dinner, is now a microwave low calorie low fat mush in a plastic tray instead.......

    Sometimes, you really do feel as though the Gods are conspiring against you :(

    Oh no! Poor you. What a dreadful evening. You just didn't deserve that.

    Hope the accident wasn't serious - was anyone hurt?
