    Not heard anything recently Pepe-kind of hoping a cheque drops on my mat a la Sammy, lol. They said they are still 'investigating'

    Squirrely! Whoop! Well done!!!!

    scaredy-I agree about the time off, looking forward to just resting and feeling 'normal' again. Have felt rubbish for ages

    Well when they pay out, go and stick yourself on a warm beach somewhere, you deserve if it anyone does. x

    ( There shouldn't be a prob. OH is a Fireman, theres no better sickness and injury cover than that! So why would you need extra?)
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Bunny - well done (if that's the right phrase!) on the diagnosis babes, and well done for pushing!

    Red - bloody well done on clearing another debt..! you're a star!

    Pepe- well done for buying cake, the kettle is over there....!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
    (it's part of my charm!)

    Bunny, it's great that you know what's wrong, I know well that feeling of 'wow, I'm not imagining it or making a fuss over nothing, there's a fancy name for it and everything'.

    Mmm belgian bun... or lemon muffin...
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

  • Pepe, it was in my name only and I was self employed...I was never told I would have to 'wind my business down' in order to claim etc.

    I will pay off debt when I get it, and buy a new car...and maybe treat my nearest and dearest to a weekend away.


    Thanks Maz xxxx

    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.

    What facilities are at the hall bunny? Is there an ajoining kitchen?

    We all need like a slip from school asking us to bring either iced buns, cocktail sausages, cheese or crisps :rotfl:
