Resisting temptation form Barclaycard who have just upped my credit limit, meaning I have £8k 'available' to spend. Someone tell me I'm doing the right thing not succumbing to this temptation!

I will . You absolutely are doing the right thing. I hate the way they do that without you asking.

If peeps say another day AF day for me, I lose track of where we are and
if I've already put that in the total.

Hi Guys,

Just a quick post from me tonight, what that huge sigh of relief I just heard

Anyways DB thats 9 for me thankyou sweetie and Sparkles another af day Thankyou both so much for scoring:T (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh and just quickly 365 you know the answer sweetheart, remember your old user name PBT that is the thing, it all needs paying back in the end, but it then stops you from moving forward. One of the biggest deterrents for me is reading DFW. (Its scary). So big hugs sweetheart and take care. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sim hugs and JO I hope you are ok? (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Apart from the ever so missed Molls, Bhb, 40sm,

Ms Honey B,Eselt, Cazza hope you are ok as well?

Graeme thankyou for the link. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Miss P poo to work but as is always the case, once you are back it is never so bad in the end. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dear Lurky as ever hugs matey (()) Ym hope the golfing is going well?

Ok must fly, fly, fly........................................

Waving to Fay and everyone as I go :wave:

God Bless Budgie

I'm thinking off taking a week off when DSs exams are over and maybe visiting London for a couple of days. Haven't told them yet but hopefully they will agree. Has anyone got any suggestions of good places to visit/stay/eat while we are there? Touristy stuff I mean but some of the prices seem extortionate :eek:. I lived in North London for 10 years but now we are about an hour away on the train. I'd like to stay somewhere central if possible. Any suggestions gratefully received.

DB - don't know if you have tesco clubcard but you can convert points into lots of stuff for london attractions?

When we went with kids Mum got us london tour bus (get on, get off when you like type thing), Planet hollywood vouchers and Madam Tussauds all on points?

All I know is that it something is not to my liking I have two options.
1) Accept it - all I can change is the way I react to it
2) Walk away

If something wasn't working for me and making me resentful, I would look to other treatments. I tried many things. You stick on what works for you.

After a while, sobriety has taught not me to give up power so easily to others. If I get resentful, I try and look for my part in it. Also, I try to take the other person's perspective.
I make a decision to be happy, and that means I regularly have to accept things I don't like.
In the past, I always used to have to be right about everything. Now, I'd rather be happy than right. If someone doesn't let me off the tube first before getting on, that makes me mad. Though I HAVE to let it go. If I carry around a resentment about that it will ruin my day. Not the person who pushed past me, they don't care or haven't even thought about it. Thus I must not give away power too cheaply.
Acceptance is the key.

Thanks Graeme. I love your attitude!

However, what can I do, if there is no alternative support available where I live?

Also, if we accept everything, then aren't we giving away our power by doing so? :-/

I wish I was as laid back as you, that's for sure!

Kind Regards,

Sim.
