    They sure have some strange ideas these banks.

    I wouldn't mind so much but because I was basically turned down this will have an adverse effect on my credit score :mad: and it wasn't my idea!!

    So NO spending on my CC (not that I use it much in any case :p), clear the small overdraft, get back to getting fit, healthy and thinner!, get my house sorted and finally get all my crafting done (now what am I going to do in July :rotfl:).

    1. put the CC away (not cutting it up just in case!)
    2. phone the bank month on month and reduce the overdraft by £5 or £10
    3. track food, eat three meals a day, try and walk around a bit more, exercise :o
    4. Get the rest of the videos stashed in the garage, all Toby's bits and bobs in one place, get all my stash away, get a computer desk for Dr Dragon, DE-CLUTTER (if I can get Dr D on board :rotfl:)
    5. Once crafting is sorted out (see stash above :D) start doing some each week
    okay this may take me a while but I am a fired up and annoyed Dragon and that could be the best thing this bank ever did for me :p - I think I will shift banks as soon as the overdraft is gone for three months though.

    i'm not to bad, a year older now :( and unfortuantely heavier, but have hit the switch in my head which is really saying enough is enough and after the burfday cake has gone that's me done.
    surprisingly enough i did manage to get OH to agree that we won't be doing a car boot in reality so we should just blomin get rid of stuff, so one shed is now sorted and the stuff is ready to go to the tip, just need to get it there now, but it's a good start.

    Well done LT, getting rid of stuff is good as it helps you all round - I think the light went on in my head as well and "For the Journey" gave me the kick up the 'arris I needed!

    Best laid plans of mice and Dragons............. today I had planned to sleep myself out as usual (normally means getting up between 11.30 and 12.30 :eek: - thank you CFS and Chronic Pain! then again I don't drop off to sleep until about 6 am *sigh*), I will confess that even then I am a light sleeper so when I heard a chink and tear noise this morning I got up to investigate, the Furry Dragon (tm) has taken to shredding the cardboard box that some of Dr Dragon's beer bottles are in (he has only started doing this since HDNL (Home Delivery Network Limited) that Amazon use decided that lobbing a parcel of books into a garden with a terrier was a good move, the devastation of a cookbook and a Cozy Mystery was impressive!)

    So my plan of a late sleep, followed by a bath (hair wash, de-fuzz etc!), then making soup onion soup (maybe) and doing some cleaning has gone somewhat awry! Those of you with dogs (especially if you have terriers, even more especially if you have Cairn Terriers!) - do you have any ideas on how to stop him doing this?

    I don't think there is anyway of stopping them to be honest..he may grow out of it!!!

    Though saying that Tess(my rottie)...had the kitchen bin over and ate the bread that was in it and took all the other stuff outside whilst I was out today..this is nothing unusual for her and shes 3 now!!!!She had put a big chunk of bread on the sofa and another chunk on DHs chair!!!
