    My time away was really not very much fun at all and I would really rather have been here and quietly getting on with my life. :D

    I am sure that I can get myself out of this one by pointing out that months ago I did say that if there was ever any way possible at all of messing up a situation and doing things the wrong way then I would do it. :o

    You haven't messed up. I see you still put yourself down at every given oppurtunity! :rolleyes:

    So how are you? :)

    I am good thank you although I am still very worried and a bit scared after what happened and although I know that I should look at all the positives I keep finding that I am dwelling on all of the negative things that could have happened. How are you? :D

    I know it's easier said than doing looking at the positives but it's what you have to do. :confused:

    No point wasting time with something you can't change. Better to focus your attention and energy to what you can. :)

    Hows the debts going? They taken a bit of a back seat?

    My debts are a bit of a strange one and I think the only thing that actually benefited from recent events because I was doing nothing but work and visit hospital and trying to make sure that my brother in law was still vaguely sane and sort of functioning so I spent just about no money at all and my sister had bought me in a huge stock of art supplies for Christmas in the middle of November so I did not even have to spend any money on that. I am not too sure about what amount my debt is actually at at the moment and I will have to sit down and work it out because I made both my November and December and January payments as normal but in November and December I just asked my bank to transfer whatever was left in my account over to the debt collector so I think that it is going ok but I will update properly as soon as I have done my sums. :o

    Now for my update on my outstanding amounts of debt. :o At the end of November I had an extra £124.00 left over in my bank account so I transferred £123.65 over to the debt because that odd 65p had for some reason really started to annoy me and it just had to go. At the start of December I really did not know what was going to happen next so only the standing order for £715.00 actually left my account and went towards my debt and I have to admit that I did not actually think about what I owed even once throughout the month and the only reason that I paid any more at the end of the month is because my sister asked me how much extra I had needed to spend because of her being in hospital because she wanted to give this back to me so that I did not fall short with any of my payments which even although this was a totally normal question from my sister even when she is seriously ill was quite strange in a way because I had not thought about money at all because I was too busy to and had what I firmly believe were far more important things to worry about and I had not even taken my bank card out of the house more than twice in the whole of the month. :o At the end of December I found that I had £406.00 left over in the bank which was a total shock and had me worried that I had somebody else money by mistake and I was going to end up being pursued to return it to them. :rotfl: I paid £306.00 of this towards debt and put the remaining £100.00 into my emergency fund. I have not long since made my January payment by standing order again for just the minimum of £715.00 which should have cleared by now which will leave my outstanding debt total at £12,589.00 which still leaves me a very long way to go but at least it is so much better than it was six months ago. :D

    Hello everybody I hope that you are all having both a wonderful and a lovely day. :D I learned something new today and that was that whoever said that there is no such thing as a free lunch just did not have a clue about what they are talking about because I had one today as well as some drinks too. :D
