  • Hi Bonnington

    Good to see you're keeping on with your journey, despite the ups and downs ;). Sorry to hear that you have to have both your hands operated on, I hope it goes well (the bright side is that you get a bit of time of work though :p).

    One more day to work and then a week off. :j:j:j:j

    DW is off for two weeks. We aren't going away this year for reasons of money shortage or a big debt.

    Pinot, thanks for stopping by and posting. I read your diary daily but hardly ever get to post on anyone's diary. I am with you in thought.[/QUOTE]

    Bonnington

    Sorry not been around much as you say in your post I read daily but done always have a chance to post (tend to read on my phone on the commute in the morning)

    Enjoy your week off. Even with little/no money try to do something together and enjoy each others company.

    As Silientsister there were a lot of positives in your earlier post so you should be proud of yourself. Really pleased to sleep the sleep apnoea is improving

    Take care

    Welcome back Mr B. Thanks for the weather forecast - I'm heading up to Edinburgh today so I'll pack accordingly.

    I hope the humidifer helped you with the CPAP machine. I'm sorry your kitchen is letting you down, but cashback does help a little - I've only just discovered these sites but regularly get a few pence back each time I book a train.

    Well done on the websites - I hope the next phase is easier now.

    Hey Mr B,

    Glad things appear to be going ahead with the website. Just a quick thought and I'm sure it doesnt apply, but do you have other accounts with RBS at all ? The reason for asking is that many moons ago, we owned another business and our Ltd Business Account was with RBS as were our Personal Accounts. RBS had a terrible habit that if funds were a bit low in say the Business Account for example, they took it upon themselves to just transfer money between our accounts as and when they felt like it and vice versa. Take money from the Ltd Company and pay it into our Personal accounts without discussing it with us first or telling us they had done it. It caused us no end of problems. Im sure I read that your other accounts are elsewhere, but just a word of warning to keep an eye on if you do.

    Sounds like things are coming together nicely and I really do hope this site gets up and running and gives you the additional income that you need.:)

    Take Care of yourself as always

    Hey Mr B

    Sorry I haven't been about..work has been very busy. Anyway trying to get back on track MSE wise now.

    Good to hear you had a little break. Botanical Gardens sounds great. Also sleep issues easing.

    Exercise is a tough one. I find it hard to fit it in these days. But I do have an exercise bike at the mo in front of the TV. Not elegant but helps me do a bit..even if it's only 10 mins at a time! Maybe worth a go?

    Hope weather improves..we'll all feel better then...( oh and Andy M gets to the Wimbledon final..not bad for a boy from near Stirling hey!;-))
