    I am at a loss as to what else I can do, if the nursery had not have faffed around with the application for 3 and a half months then they would have been paid by now. My dad just said that it is fair for them to think I may have spent the money, because I would do.:( I am trying to get out of debt, why would I want to add to it?

    Claire, it's not as bad although last night was horrible! Was up and down all night being sick....my own fault though! *is also wondering on the whereabouts of her bookmark...any one of the ones you showed me would do*

    DNO they may think like that, but it IS their own fault for fannying about for ages and not getting it done!

    Have finished Lady Audley's Secret (madwoman who thinks she's a murderer - I'd worked out she was the bloke's meant-to-be dead wife in about 2 chapters) and am now on Catherine. So far the book lives up to its nakesake (my sister probably - she's a bit of a tart but is a bit nice too)

    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Oh DNO, that's awful for you. You go down there with your head held high this afternoon though - you know the truth and that is the main thing. :grouphug:

    Sometimes relatives say the LEAST helpful things. I think they think Tact and Diplomacy are seas on the moon or something. Maybe if things aren't moving a letter to your MP might get some action (government agencies seem to respond to that sort of thing!)

    Actually DNO can I correct something in your post? According to you, you are 'trying' to get out of debt. According to your signature, which I have no reason to doubt, you are getting out of debt!
