    Well I could say something about mistakes ... But I think not saying something should give you an indication of the seriousness of it all ...

    I would agree there isn't the support there and yet if you knew the field I work in its like a contradiction in terms

    Well today I am up bright eyed and bushy tailed, just about to head into the city to pick my earring up and go for my second counselling session before coming back and making some dinner for tonight, nothing going on in the bank accounts apart from adding the money made yesterday to the accounts they need to be in, so no Tilly tidies today :(

    Wages arrive tomorrow and I think I will be getting my biggest wage ever, funnily enough every penny is still accounted for lol, but atleast I have them to account for them.

    I have contents and buildings to sort out this week my renewed quote was a tad over £400 but I have had quotes from other places for less than £150 ... That seems very dodgy to me and after what happened to us before I think I will just take that wee but extra time and work it out right

    I don't know what the answer is re. the exhausting hours you are doing, but wanted to pop in to say hello and give you my support.

    thanks catshark, taxi that was the problem we had with the insurance before, it was the first time ever i hadnt checked out the insurance before buying it, i just bought it as i had so many other things going on, then we were burgled and the hassel we had with that was unreal, so a lesson learned there.

    went for my second counselling session today, i am trying to decide whether to go back or not, i think i am confusing the girl more than anything and she finds me too hard to work with, she admitted as much today, she doesnt feel she can help me as she doesnt know how to help me, she jumped to some wild conclusions today, and i had to correct her, i sometimes wonder if what she is in actual fact doing is refecting her own issues onto me.

    so i dont know whether to go back or not, i dont want to give up because she may have some insight into my issue ( goodness knows i've tore myself apart trying to deal with it) but at the same time i really dont think she can deal with it, i think it is beyond her abilities.

    got my earrings back today as well, so i have no other need to return to the city, it's £3 to park the car and probably about £7-£8 in diesel to go there and back, which is alot of money over the course of 6 weeks ... and whilst if it solves my issue its more than worth it, if it doesnt atleast make a difference then it is a waste of money

    Ooh CROC alert ... went to the city today and there is a full shop dedicated to them ... lots of them less chunky than I remember (ballet shoes and flipflops and the like) all in summer bright colours...

    I had to smile as it is opposite a Kurt Geiger (7 inch heel shoppe) and a Hotel Chocolat

    Just saying ... shall I get my coat ;)
