    The news won't be any less painful if you hear it from your OH will it.

    Take some deep breaths and open them. Now. Think of it as ripping off a plaster xx

    Well done for opening them Artydoll and I'm glad it wasn't anything like as bad as you thought.

    Just an idea - next time, if you're feeling worried when the bills come, why don't you post on the OS Daily Thread, and one of us will come along and "hold your hand" online while you open them. :o

    I always open the post straight away when it comes, otherwise I'm fretting about what it might be all day. It's awful when it's something addressed to Mr LW and I think it might be bad news, because obviously I have to leave those for him - though I open anything that's obviously utility-related, as I deal with the finances here.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
