    Thank you, I wish I could, I feeli like I'm having a panic attack at the moment, I feel so poorly it's untrue. Nothing seems to be going right and I am just worrying with everything that we do. :( I know 'one day' it will be alright - but at what cost? Me feeling so sick with worry while they sort all of our claims out, them deciding we don't deserve any help and then I have to appeal, or getting another compliance check letter through again? I had a letter come through today from them saying it had now been sorted, but it doesn't help me emotionally, or my family and I financially at all right now. :(
    Sorry for the mini-rant. Will try and smile... :o

    Purple, it WILL be alright. Maybe not today, maybe not next week, but some day soon. "Everything works out well in the end; if all is not well, it's not the end." Make a plan, even a teeny tiny one and work on it. The feelings will pass.

    Just posting really quickly as I need to do some cleaning, sorry not to be bale to take time to comment to you all but I read every post and am living it all with you, but:

    Yorkshire Lass - hope you get it sorted, I'm sure full time education can mean many things, I'm sure home schooling would count, wouldn't it?

    Maria - Sometimes you just have to do whatever you have to do to make the effort of hauling your !!! out of bed every monring bearable. You'll be back on the wagon soon and the house sounds lovely.

    Ziggy - dead jealous of your holiday, I love caravans. The designer in me really appreciates all the tricks to fit so much into a small space!

    Today I had lunch from my work store drawer/fridge but have got into the habit of buying chocolate raisins for breakfast. They're one of my five a day, right? :o

    I spoke to the estate agents today, apparently the other house on with them went to full and final offers and also achieved just below the asking price and the person that *didn't* get it was gutted and is coming to see mine on Saturday, hence the cleaning.

    Keep your fingers crossed for me :)
    Make £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)

    So sorry you are feeling low and unwell. You are doing so well if your signature is anything to go by. And now you have the letter saying its been sorted, perhaps in the next few days, the worry will lift and things will feel better. Take care.

    In spite of getting zero sleep I decided to pop into town this afternoon. I haven't been since before Christmas because I can walk to the local shops about half of the time whereas town is always a scooter trip and often it all feels like too much effort for to little reward. Anyway, I decided it was worth it because there were a few things I either couldn't get locally or would cost an awful lot more. I really enjoyed myself!:j

    Bought an Argos economy double summer duvet, bargain at £7.99:T
    Lamp also from Argos £3.99 also bargainous :rotfl:

    Treated myself to a Starbuck....2 actually!:p But one was their half price frappaccino so thats okay;)

    Then onto Sainsburys. Bought the food I needed for my friend coming for the weekend and also decided to treat us to G&T. My estimate of the food shopping being about the same as my Nectar points value was almost spot on:j so just paid for the gin really.

    Unfortunately I then got home to a message from my friend saying he isn't coming:( He has picked up a cold and I have no immune system due to being on steroids so it wouldn't have done either of us any good him dragging himself here. Im disappointed, but I have a fridge full of slightly more special food than usual to get through, plus the G&T to drown my sorrows!:beer:
