    Sorting takes a while, beanie, as you know (but may not apply to yourself!). I had some good advice when I moved here - make one room, or even one corner of one room, a pleasant place to sit in, and it was *good* advice.

    Have hit a wall on so many levels.
    Emotionally & physically exhausted.
    Spent most of the last couple of days sleeping.
    It is what it is.

    Also very skint.
    Changed energy suppliers with the MSE deal in Feb & seem to have ended up owing my previous supplier a mere £189!!!!!
    So much for saving money!!!!

    It is saving money. If they turned out to owe you £1000, you may have suspected they were in fact, really, *really* cheap...

    Oh beanie! I'm glad you've stepped back and got some sleep - you've been under a lot of stress, and from the sound of it its still here :(

    Not sure about the energy thing - was that a penalty? Or had you used it, and they wouldn't wait to recover it monthly? Bummer, though, its a lot of money all at once :(

    Take care xxx
