    Thank you Lady PO1, I have had laryngitis for about 8 weeks and a cough. It cleared up once over Christmas, but came back beginning of jan. I have been in and out of work trying to work with no voice. I have an underlying lung condition that doesn't cause me a problem but every now and then I have breathing problems , which is what happened last weekend , hence stay in hospital.

    I don't do,illnesss well , no patience and am eager to be better , sooner rather than later .

  • Hope you continue to mend, and yay on the reinstatement of your diary!!
    Trying to figure out a whole new life. Trying to figure out a whole new budget.
    Divorcing, unclear on final debt total right now, but focusing on building a financial buffer zone.

    I hadn't realised you had been in hospital. Sorry to hear that. Try and take it easy so you get back to full strength sooner :)

    Yes I am pleased diary is back as well.

    BT is going through ok , I got the PIN number today , which has been destroyed , once the card comes that will go the same way.

    I will also close the other 2 cards I had., when I get the final statements . I am going to ask for the £110 back I paid extra on the card.

    Have paid the bill for airfare, used the cc I have kept so that is gone. Now just need to see when the new bill needs paying.

    Birthday present bought this month from the Christmas/birthday fund.

    I am going to have money left from petrol and entertainment budget this month , this is going towards my spending money for Australia this month .

    I slept for a while last night , so am grateful for that.
