    I know how bad it will be everytime i see a mini though :cry:

    Let that spur you on to keeping on track with all the payments. We promise you can have another when the business and house are paid for :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Can't do the shred this morning, work was really hard especially when i couldn't bend down :rotfl: so i temporarily quit. I will focus on the food side of things for the next few days at least.

    If you have time at the end of each day maybe just go for a walk with DH instead. It is a great way to clear your head and you can get some time together not thinking about work stuff or use the time to talk about work stuff and then make home a work-free zone.

    Sorry to hear about eric but it is a good thing and it will give you something to look forward to, a light at the end of the tunnel. Ed is right, your perspective and positivity has come a long way.

    Wow lots of comments!

    I wonder if I can vet potential purchasers of eric , like when you get a new cat or dog :D

    Hi aj, hope you are well. Funny you mention going walking with dh as I asked him the other day ,he said no thanks though the lazy bu**er :rotfl:

    Dh has arranged to collect a job friday as its near to when we are saying (not that near but under an hour) i wanted him to just collect it at a time suitable to us durung their opening hours,instead we have an early time which means getting on the m25 in rush hour fri morning for probably hours, then the cusomer wants a meeting so we may well get stuck there for a while.

    I know we need to do it , but im really annoyed as its my 40th birthday treat, we are at goodwood saturday and we have a lovely hotel. Does nobdy understand how precious time away without the kids is , every second counts!

    Maybe you could use it as time to yourself then.

    I hope you enjoy Goodwoo and that you get good weather.

    I was thinking of putting him up for more than i paid as he now has an mot (old one only had days left) plus some welding was done. I am very stubborn and when we sold the mg midget years ago - up for £1400 ono , i got £1400 for it as i was a bit reluctant to sell :o buyer had the last laugh though as he lives locally so i still see "our" car all the time!

    No packing done and I'm meeting my friend who has just spent the month in Thailand this morning , now I've one afternoon to get everything washed ironed and packed and the house decent, oops.
