    Bum! just lost a big post, the gist of which was...

    ladyliberty hugs, and I think you have special dispensation to post regardless whether you have been airborne or not?

    triker thanks for the info, thats kind.

    pigpen did you decide about getting a woofer, and I don't mean the annoying black dog?

    DH and I have been human dynamos, doing loads of things we have been putting off for years. Its the conviction that when the flybaby arrives (please God) we won't get anything useful done for at least a year!
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    that's it.. I give up.. someone either shoot me now or loan me a gun and I'll bloody well do it myself.. I have a very very long tether but I am now at the end of it.. my head is shot... I need £700 within the next 24 hours or the mortgage company are starting repossession proceedings ... I've had 1 housing benefit payment made back in September and not a penny since.. and I can't afford it.. they are now saying there isn't even a claim in place!

    I can't deal with this as well as everything else.. actually this is the easy thing.. the rest won't sort and the other major issue we have the police involved so I am dealing with those idiots too.. the world is full of absolute morons!!!! I simply cannot deal with this any longer..

    Afternoon all. Progress has been slow here this morning. My Dad turned up to fit a light in the loft for me so there have been tools strewn all over the place. Then he was called into work so I have just got back from dropping him off.

    My mum also popped up for a coffee, so had a natter to her for a bit.

    I have made the twins some burgers wedges and salad for lunch so I am going to wash up and then tackle the rest of Tuesday's list.

    Oh and my smear result came throught this morning and it's normal this time :T. I need to go back again in 6 months for another one, but really relieved.

    EDIT: Oh piggers, it doesn't rain, but it pours. ((hugs)).
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j

    Re the mortgage, contact your solicitor re the divorce tell them that you are now in danger of losing the house....also the CSA, if you are not going to Uni you have nothing to lose, maybe also Citizens advice....I thought the mortgage companies were supposed to offer some respite....interest free and all that.

    Housing benefit, ring again and speak to manager...sorry can't be more helpful. x

    Is there any chance your OH can do some temporary work...anything via agencies???
