    I read Ani's post earlier Beanie but couldn't think of anything to write that didn't sound pathetically inadiquate so thought I'd think on it I can also empathise with both sides of feeling as low as that, but not sure putting either thoughts across would be constructive.

    Errr...without changing the subject too much, NSD #8 in the bag. Car booked in for MOT and Service and exhuast check tomorrow, I'm hoping it's just the silencer or something that can be welded - currently I'm sounding like Onslo out of Keeping Up Appearances, thinking of getting a comedy horn to go with the car.

    Also got our energy bill in (BG combine G&E charges), another 250 quid out the account...oh and new council tax charges have arrived, although these are actually a couple of quid a month less than last year which is nice.

    Still all pales into insignificance when you know what some are going through. x
