    I've completely lost my mojo at the moment :( I just can't be bothered to do anything. I've got so much to do, and I've been doing long days at work too, so think I've just had enough for now. Hoping it comes back soon :(

  • I think it's that time of year where the mojo disappears. Dull dark days do nothing for me at all.

    You're doing amazing just remember that x

  • I agree its the time of year, I have so much to do and just can't get myself going, I also think Christmas doesn't help as it just get so overwhelming how much is going on and so much to do. Part of me is looking forward to January when normality can resume.

    I think you are right, it's so cold and miserable, and that doesn't help!

    I agree, I've tried to be pretty organised this year so I can spend some time before Christmas just relaxing, but my enthusiasm went. I'm being a bit spendy too, so am looking forward to reigning it in again in the new year.

    Well, I just phoned up to chase about the PPI claim. Apparently the letter got sent out at the end of last week, so I'll give it a bit longer.

    However they did tell me what I was due to get. A little higher than the £50-odd I was expecting - just over £1k :T :T :j :j :j I am amazed! They also said I would be getting a cheque so it won't be going against the account. :D:D

    I'm going to look at the F&F offer now. I've just checked and it is the unenforceable one so I'm going to make a counter offer. If not, will carry on paying tokens as now.
