Yesterday when I read about your tenants I was so mad on your behalf I had nothing constructive to say aside from swearing.

I did always day dream that if I were ever in the position to rent out flats I would want to help those on the social as my experience of renting was always "not interested if you are on the social" which I thought was really judgemental. But really people (and I use the term loosely) as you have had just need........well I don't know!! I genuinely don't get it. how can they live with themselves? why don't they have pride and self respect and how do they find people to breed with (am feeling highly single currently! ) They are pretty disgusting really.

I hope the courts won't cost you? I feel that hope might be in vain. your description of walking the dog the other day was so lovely. I wish you more like that.

Hi Taxi,

Just googled cellulitis. The breast is slightly inflamed but swollen and tight. I think that's what putting pressure on the big scar across my back.:o

Have spent entire day in bed but have to go to hospital and work tomorrow. Certainly can't trust to any benefits. HMRC have still not fixed my SSP from 1st Feb. accountants are going to bill out separately so I can reclaim from HMRC once sorted.:eek:

Hi Beanie,

I am trying to rest and leaving work sharp, first time ever. Also out walking husky every day to get air and exercise. But today I've just slept and MSE'd. Not fit for more

Hi Buffy,

Lets hope karma exists. Maybe they'll come back as landlords in another life - that'll teach them :rotfl::rotfl:

I love the animals and SB. I'm truly blessed and am typing this with a large, porky kitten purring on my side. Happy days :j

Hello all

Been to hospital and work today.

Surgeon says pain is from fluid build up not cellulitis or other infection. My lymphs have been removed and the other small ones around my chest area are damaged from the chemo and radio therapies. He says my body will adjust in time but the more active I am the sorer it will be short term. He then followed up that being active is the best thing for you so use painkillers til it eases.

I can do that...very relieved its not cellulitis.

Also to go back in December for a day op to move fat from my legs and stomach into the breast. If they take it all I'll be in the Guinness Book of Records and a danger to shipping! It'll provide a better cushion for the scars. He showed me in the mirror the square where they did the radio therapy booster rads, it's like a flaming brand. Add that to surgery scars and radiation burn scars no wonder it hurts!! Ho hum it will get better :T

Posted 2 eBay parcels. Overpaid on phone to add insurance and next day delivery. Also took pics of phone with wrapping labelled up and bar codes. Don't know why but I've got a niggling feeling that this could be a troublesome customer -dunno why.

Got remote access working at home now. Left early as I had a 5pm call which an on til 6:50pm. But did it all from the house so very easy.

Seeing back-to-work psychologist tomorrow so in early to ramp up the hours. Always fun

taxi73

am so glad it's not cellulitis and will hopefully clear up soon...you still need to take it easier though xx

Thanks Taxi. You're right as ever. Shortish day today, seeing psychologist at 4pm.

I wish your pain would clear up. Mines nothing in comparison and intermittent. Whole nasty disease is so unfair, I hate what you're going through :mad:

Well I started talking to DFW about possibility of being mortgage free and the fact that I'm undecided what to do. So I thought I'd ask the Mortgage Wannabe's their opinion...so far 69 views and not one response.

So my DFW friends, here's the post...lets all sidestep the £1.5m debt please and let me have your thoughts. I really am having trouble with this one.

Post from mortgage board...


Hi there all.

I've a diary over in Debt Free Wannabe, lovely folks who keep me on the straight and narrow.

In reality I'm debt free if you exclude the £1.5m I've sunk into Buy to Let mortgages but that's another story.

My own house has £117,000 left on the mortgage and a drawdown of upto £250,000 at 2.19 over base so 2.69% currently. About 15 years left on it.

Mortgage is £230.00 a month interest only and there's a small over payment in there as I've paid money already into the offset account.

Now I could pay the mortgage off tomorrow if I used savings and a bit of my Isa or work til Christmas and pay it off without touching my isa or pay off £100k now and leave the £17k to trickle down etc etc.

The reason for the humming and hawing is that I 'm a freelancer and have been off 17 of the last 26 months with two occurrences of Breast Cancer.

I don't qualify for benefits, even been a battle to get my SSP as HMRC have completely cocked it up. I need to be able to fend for myself and not get caught short.

So what would you good people do?

Pay it off now?
Pay it off at Christmas?
Pay £100k (or whatever) and keep some stashed in case?

Also keep thinking that if I really really needed money then I've access to cheap cash, quickly and easily as long as I've some balance left.

Really look forward to your thoughts and ideas.

Just back from psychologist.

Conclusion is I have real issues with guilt when I'm ill and terrified that people think I'm skiving. Plus I don't want to be labeled as ill and get special treatment or help because I see that as being a burden and not pulling my weight.

Yup, pretty much sums it up. I was brought up that the only acceptable thing is work ahead of everything...can't turn that off in my head now. Gonna have to try tho.

Go back in a fortnight

100 mortgage free wannabes have now viewed my post and nobody has an opinion. . Oh dear, must do better if I ever ask again.

I can't believe no one has answered :exclamati:exclamati:exclamati I wish I knew more to advise...

I really hope you slow down a little KJ whilst keeping busy and active is good and will help in your recovery, too much will knock you for six. I really admire you for going back to work so soon after surgery and love the motivation you have but please listen more to your body and slow down when necessary. Did you try meditation, i'm sure it was on here I read you were doing it? It will really help as I remember my teacher telling me an hour's deep meditation was as good as 8 hours sleep (and so will hopefully help with healing too )

P.s I hope someone has replied to your message on the board now xx

109 now DFW...I don't think it was rude or nasty or unreasonable.

I've a couple of meditation CDs to try, see how I go with those.

I'm terrified that work think I'm useless even tho they said it was fine to go off when I needed. Everything's up to date and business are happy. Other PM called me a "Breath of fresh air" yesterday. So it's in my head I think. Just need a reassuring stroke
