    SW I have just been reading that thread you put a link to.

    I have been wetting myself with laughter. I work in my own office down the end of a corridor, but the chap in the office next to me must be able to hear me chuckling away, I have tears rolling down my cheeks I have been laughing so hard!

    Thanks so much for posting this!

    Hello Ann,
    Just thought I would pop back into your thread for an update of any developments on your side , glad you still seem positive and in good spirits, keep smiling..:)

    On my side of things I sent Nid a couple of pages of agreements that I received back form Egg & Citi in response to my cca requests.

    No word back from Nid yet, so I am either a basket case beyond help, :(
    Or maybe he is just too busy right now, so will wait and see what unfolds.

    The one from Egg had a scan of my signature on it...so I may be on shaky ground with that one me thinks..:(
    The one from Citi was nothing more than a list of terms & conditions..

    But nevermind if I get too downcast with my own predicament, I just come here for a read and things don't seem so bad after all with everyone supporting each other...

    Keep well,
    alland

    Hi Alland,

    Good to hear from you!

    I am sure you are not a basket case NID will come to your rescue very soon.

    He has enormous patience - he needs it to deal with me!

    I had a similar huge document from Egg and NID advised me how to deal with that, so do not despair. Haven't yet had a reply to my last communication to them.

    Keep posting and smiling!

    Jinny, I hope you're taking good care of yourself, poor thing.

    Allan - it's nice to hear you sounding more upbeat. You really were on a downer when you first posted (a bit like mouseann.)

    Had a lovely couple of hours with my daughter and the baby. :)

    Hi Ann and everyone else.

    I see you had a visit from a very merry Niddy and Mrs Niddy last night, I was around, but I was so interested in the politics and had some research I had to do, so I tried to stay away from the forums. It can become quite addictive and its to the detriment of everything else, if I'm not careful.!!:o

    Hope Niddy is well today,:D I certainly couldn't do it......a couple of drinks and that's me gone.! Lightweight drinker that's me.!!:(


    Havn't been home from work very long, so I am in need of more coffee, and I have still got the telly on so I am trying to catch up with todays events.:)

    Will pop in later.
