    ive been gardening. it's therapeutic. and very sodden. The weather that lir is having is on the way here though so i'm going to have to get a move on to finish the few things I wanted done. I have never been out this late (I normally start in late jan/early feb but no chance this year!)

    and we've been having the gardener which has been a big help. i will need to buy some proper plants and fingers crossed this is the year the garden gets into top shape.

    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Crivvens... look like oil prices might be about to rise.

    It's all heating up on the world stage, so I think I'll watch a film to give myself some light relief. *checks the TV guide* Vertigo. That should be a barrel of laughs.

    I've somehow hurt my right elbow, not a clue what I have done though. Initially I thought I had just slept funny and with a little time and some bending and stretching of it, it would be just fine but hours later, I still cannot bend it properly without it hurting like a begger and any pressure on the joint and it bloody hurts, like it is badly bruised.

    I do so hope it is not the start of arthritis in my elbow, it's my crutch side (although thankfully, not my dominant side) and I would be completely beggered if that started being a problem. That said, with arthritis pretty much in all the other joints, it was only a question of time, especially bearing in mind how hypermobile my elbows are and have always been.

    One of the worst things - a pain with no explanation/apparent cause.
    Hope it clears up quickly Sue.

    I was given a notebook for my birthday last year (it was a riduculously expensive one that I would never ever have bought myself). I used it to keep track of what I'd sent when, quotes from solicitors, what was said in phone conversations etc.

    I also made photocopies of everything I sent to anyone (ID, statements, completed forms) just in case anything went AWOL.

    Good luck, hope it all goes nice and smoothly :)

    Seconded - photocopy everything, lj.
    And Chewey, good luck with the application. I wonder if I'm guessing right who you've applied to.:)

    Cheers- we're going with first direct's offset with 1.99% 2 year fix. Whopping great fee, but all the low rates have the same it seems. Scottish widows was slightly cheaper at 1.79% (0.2% off their normal rate for being an accountant...) but only one offset account allowed so ditched that.
