You're not going to believe this, but we're getting another PPI complaint upheld :T.

It's from our old H@lifax mortgage. DH and I are going to get, wait for it... £3120 EACH

I go quiet for a few days and BAM you get a second lot of PPI :beer::j:T:D

I sympathise with DH and his glasses, it's horrible being this short sighted xx

I don't think I'm qualified to suggest what you SHOULD do, but I feel pretty strongly what you SHOULDN'T do ie, get embroiled in that guarantor agreement. It sounds like a potential recipe for a lot of awkwardness. Yes, it COULD be ok, but you don't have the spare funds if it all goes pear-shaped.

Hope you feel better as the day goes on. I agree work & assignments should be prioritised, but a social life, however small, is really important too, I value my friends hugely, from the ones I see weekly to ones I only see annually. They make you feel connected to the human race, they bring different points of view, sometimes you can help with their troubles, and there's a general warmth that is hard to replicate elsewhere.

Thanks Elizabeth . I definitely don't want to sign the guarantor agreement :eek:.

I agree about how valuable friends are.

Well I survived work, in fact I felt fine as soon as I left the house. I think a lot of me feeling rough is tiredness and stress. I did my lunchtime job and then watched the TA for half an hour. It was sunny and warm today and I actually felt like I was wearing too many layers. This job is going to be great in the summer .

This afternoon I absolutely MUST carry on with my assignment. I feel a bit stressed about it but I'll feel better if I can get lots done on it today. Then I can finish it off tomorrow afternoon and email it to my tutor. This assignment is longer than the first one as it's worth three credits and the first one was only worth two credits.

But I do like to be busy so it's good that I have all these things going on .

The house is a total tip because I'm focusing on work, volunteering and my course, but I actually don't care. My future career and earning money seems more important at the moment and I can catch up on housework in the school holidays .
