    That RP did this tells NP that you are in a bit of trouble LiR. .

    I think I'm doing better actually. I just cannot stay awake.:o. When I am awake I'm just sitting there really. I'm on the pills that make me much less nauseous, I haven't been sick in the longest time I remember in my life, but I'm on others that make you yawn like a maniac, so much so that it makes me retch, (but not vomit) which I think is a bit ironic.

    Anyone know if miss k is ok?

    I sent her PM a few months back, but didn't hear anything, so I'd be interested to know answer to that question, too.

    ...make you yawn like a maniac...

    And I just did a big yawn just reading the word.

    It's funny how yawning, talking of yawning, or seeing a yawn makes one yawn :)

    Is everybody yawning now?

    Nope :)

    My first mortgage payment & Council Tax payment went yesterday.
    Being a homeowner seemed less nice for a period! :D


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

    On the positive side, I made an overpayment before the 1st mortgage payment.
    I'll make another this week. The Lloyds vantage accounts drop their interest rate from 3% to 1%. I had 3 maxed at 5k, so I've moved 1 to the new club account, & the 2 I'll close will be another overpayment. May as well, ISA/NISA rates are rubbish, so it's a better thing for me to do. :)

    By the way, isn't it funny how the little things mean a lot.

    Saw a job friday night, with a deadline of monday.
    Frantic weekend/late nights doing the application.
    Emailed it off monday morning.

    Nice to report I got an email acknowledging receipt. Only a little thing, but it means something. It annoys me the amount of time/effort put into applications, & with email/text message employers really have no excuse to not take the time to acknowledge the effort/interest.

    Anyways, fingers crossed.

    I'll need to try to get one of those. This past year's income's not even sufficient to pay the basic council tax/utility bills.

    I need a nice/fun job, with flexible hours, huge pay - and just up the road (walkable).

    Do you qualify for benefits now you don't have any capital to speak of?

    I looked at a thread on the savings board, long running, it started in 2006 and there was a rate of 12%, though most at 8% - almost seems unbelievable.:(

    We all want one of those!

    Actually, I'd just like some customers to ring today, think they're all out on deckchairs and kipping!
