    Do Thomas Cook write you a letter to remind you that you have a holiday booked for next week?

    Does the manager of your local Tesco pop round to check you have enough bread and milk in the house for tomorrow's breakfast?

    Does your boss give you an alarm call every morning to remind you that you are due at work at 9am?

    Take a little responsibility for your own (in)actions.

    JJamesJJ - I really don't think you're going to get much sympathy for your situation as it was entirely of your own making.
