    I was up for about an hour and a halfin the night with like a burning sensation in my hand. :mad: I felt like Pinot, who is often up in the night.

    Well I just logged on to see how you were doing whilst OFF SICK recuperating after your hand operation. What do I see, not lots of lovely relaxing days for Mr B, oh no, don't be a silly Granny. Instead gardening amongst other things.

    Now, listen here my good man, :rotfl:, you have been given time off for a reason. Your body needs to get over the trauma and I am not surprised that your hand decided to remind you of its existence.

    Please be careful and take it easy, the work will still be there long after your hand is better.

    Lots of well wishes and hugs, as well as a kick up the bottom, from

    Granny x :D

    Just noticing your signature though and it is looking very good! WOW to the survey amount!! I wish i could get on some of these good paying panels! they never seem to want me (can't think why :think: lol) Anyway hope you're having a nice evening!

    Time to take the medicine Mr B and sit, do NOWT and enjoy the sunshine!!!

    I know it will feel very uncomfortable and is not your normal mode of operation ... but, treat it as a game to learn more about yourself ... the unease lessens. You never know you may get to like Classic FM, Radio 4 Extra or sport (there's enough of it about at present!!!)

    All you can do is give it a go and give your body the absolute best chance to heal itself ... go on, go on, go on (a la Mrs Doyle) you KNOW it makes sense!!!

    I completely agree with NorthernLas Mr B, you just have to listen to your body and give it the rest it needs. Get into your HTML book and enjoy the Olympics, the work will still be there when your hand is all better

    8.9% over 9 years does seem high. The total you will have paid on that loan by the end is £9363. What is the balance on it at the minute?

    Not read through everything to catch up so not sure what you have done to your hand, hope you weren't up to no good.:p

    I've spent the last couple of days catching up with your diary and have been really enjoying it. I'm in AWE of your surveys total, is that just from a year? I used to do the YouGov ones, but it took me 2 years to get £50 and I gave it up as a bad job!

    Hi Bonnington
    Well, we're gaining because you've more time to write on here! It sounds as if you are getting very close to understanding your money - splitting up capital and interest etc. It will mean that every penny you repay will go where it has most impact. Well done you on the ebay sales - ok the money could have been more, but as you say there is now less in the house, so more control of the space.
    Keep up the good work :)

    Hope your hand is healing well.
