    Thanks beanielou - I am fairly sure I will avoid charges as I have an overdraft facility that I rarely use so if push comes to shove I will just be dipping into that - the problem is it will take about a month or so for me to figure out what is happening and what I can do to change it!

    still keeping my fingers crossed for Mr Dragon and job.
    what a bu99er about the govt changing the payment dates, sounds like something they would do, they can pay our money to banks very easily but not to those who need it.
    We've got snow here, put the washing out and when i noticed the snow and went to get it in it's frozen solid, it always makes me laugh when that happens, small things small minds etc.

    That's a real pain Dragon. All these sorts of things seem to change with little or no notice. Doctors surgeries come to mind as a prime example; one week open at 8am with on the day appointments; next week 8:30 appointments available next week; and as to whether they're open at weekends.....

    Thank goodness for the overdraft...

    Still got my fingers crossed for Dr Dragon X

    Still no news re Dr Dragon and work, he has another interview today and heard back from the one he went to before Christmas (they finally got around to telling him he was unsuccessful!), my weight is all over the show, my pain has increased 'cos of stress and at the moment I just want to curl in a corner and cry.

    Dear Dragon, I wish I could make things right for you, make all pain go away and employ Dr Dragon. All I can do is tell you that I am virtually with you today, giving you hugs and cups of tea
