You definitely don't need a personality test to know you're the best of the best my friend.
OH is blessed to have you. I hope you find a little "me" time soon.

Wow so many lovely messages! Thank you for all the support, hugs, kind words and positivity. Just what I need!
Got my annual bonus from work today, £20!! I know it's pro rata and I'm hardly there really, but when everyone else got hundreds it's a bit of a let down!! Still, free money is good money!!
I bought a carbon monoxide alarm today. Actually, I bought 2! First one was £17.99 in H0meb@se, but then I saw one in Mr T's for £12.50 so I bought that one too and I'll take the first one back. It's next to the fire and boiler and hasn't started squealing yet so I think we are ok!
Talking about boilers, I contacted SSE to ask them about their free boiler scheme as the people I spoke to the other day can't help unless DH gets moved into the Support group. I'm hoping that will be the case but I want to get moving on it asap. You don't have to be a SSE customer to get it and they seemed very helpful. I need to seek out a few letters about DH's benefit and contact them again on Monday. Fingers crossed.
Got a lovely supportive letter from the MP today. She enclosed a copy of her rather stern letter to the Work Programme company that we are having a problem with!! I'm 50% thrilled and 50% nervous!! Is that weird?!Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Glad the MP is weighing in. There's been a bit in the news this week about unfair delays and barriers to genuine claimants so in a weird sort of way it's timely and she will already be thinking about the wider issues.
Keep on at it and if I were you I'd start complaining to the utility peeps on Monday and bill them for the calls too. My mum used to charge them for her time too..they usually covered it too!! I can remember her sense of satisfaction when the Post a office covered her time (was 25 years ago..can't remember what she was even complaining about,:rotfl:)
Thinking of you. Hope the sun shines for you and OH has a good weekend xMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
