    Billie, really sorry you're having such a tough time, it never rains but it pours.

    Bunny, have you looked to see if there's any grants/fee remittence available? I don't bother with the entitled to website, it always gets my details wrong. If you want to look into tax credits then if you check out the inland revenue there's a much better calculator there. I think I'd lean towards option two, short term pain for long term gain. And you're so resourceful I'm sure you'll be able to make bits of money along the way, with CD and stuff.

    Actually, isn't Sammy's dd a hairdresser? She might be able to tell you which is the best option long term career wise.


    Well, I'm back from docs. She said that there's no point doing anything about all the warts that have started appearing (I had two a year ago, now it's over 20) because the scars will be more noticable than the warts are. She is going to support me with ss though, which is a relief. And I've got to have my yearly check up to make sure my MH meds aren't doing damage, so I'm booked in for blood tests and an ecg on Thursday.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    *hopes Luc doesn't carry this on till the 30th*

    Why is it that every time I go to Aldi for their 69p fruit they've run out of the ones I want.
