thanks bevan and cmd :A

arm hurts where had canula in but other than that doing okay today. :cool:

had a bit of an interesting development on the finances front. one of OH's pensions is being wound up - and one of his options is to take the money as a lump sum... we think it would be enough to clear all our debts in full :jwhich would soooo take the pressure off. It was only due to give him a £3k lump sum at retirement and about £50 pcm anyway so don't think it would be a major loss!

so something to think about it esp as may need Op later in the year - with more sick time (and may only get basic sick pay for some of that).:eek: Jobs in arecession esp with recent sick record also don't feel completely secure...

Oh SH

Hope you feel better soon and get all medical things sorted.

I agree that a lump sum seems the best option because clearing the debt will free up lots of money in repayments plus when you have time off it will help and if recovery takes longer it won't matter as you have some extra money to fall back on instead of trying to rush back to work too early.

Thanks EE - we think we are going to take the money - may not physically get it until May tho.... hopefully we will owe less by then anyway so may then have some spare money for other things which would also be nice!

Hi
good news on the pension thing, as you say £50 is neither here nor there in 20 years time, but the money will be handy now. You can always plan for something that would give you an extra £50.

Hope all the health issues get sorted.

awww poor lil DD, my sister had eczema when she was little and it was a nightmare, she couldn't go swimming as the chlorine would make the eczema around her eyes worse.

I hope the arm feels better soon xx

I hope the treatment works quickly and you feel better soon.
