Nothing like a forced change in your life to change you totally. I changed back to who I used to be when I separated. My friends said I was me again. The person they knew and loved. Was strange to hear I was a different person when I was with ex oh but I'm sure I was. I love being me now ( would prefer it if I had a million in the bank) and wouldn't change a thing ( other than the million in the bank)
. I listen to friends all the time moaning about their hubbies and I just smile and make 'oh dear' noises lol

Had a lovely day again today - weather wasn't as good - it snowed most of the day and was v. windy, whereas yesterday was blue skies and sunshine, but the snow wasn't bad and it wasn't too busy. So a decent few hours on the slopes.....which my thighs will remind me of in the morning, I am sure!
Hope you have all had a good day xSuccessful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
So....in MSE news.....just checked online banking, and numpty halifax have taken the old mortgage payment, and have also applied for the new mortgage payment!!
and Barclays, who I had the loan with, but which I paid off before Christmas, have also taken a monthly payment of £317.
total impact of those two factors mean that my account is £1600 overdrawn with no overdraft facility :eek:
Thankfully, First Direct, who I have my current account with, are fantastic, and a quick phone call to them and they have recalled the old mortgage payment and the barclays payment, AND won't make any charges either. I can't fault them!
Thank goodness I had the ability to check my account today, though!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -

Good grief. I remember you saying that with the amount of stuff that went on in your accounts, you *needed* to check banking every day, even on holiday. And here's the proof. Well done First Direct, and well done you.2023: the year I get to buy a car0
