    Hi Guys, I'm back. Witrch not got to me and I've not been abducted by aliens, some !!!!!! broke into my house and took the 2 laptops, PS3, WII, camera, and 2 jewelry boxes. It's been an absolute nightmare but I feel as if I'm getting somewhere now. Insurance company been rubbish, I think I've done their heads in and they are getting ready to either offer me a massive lump sum for me to keep my mouth shut or they are going to hire a hitman and have me finished off :)

    Hope your both well and the debts are decreasing. I'm back now girls and I'll be keeping a close eye on you both.

    Thanksfor the concern xxxx
  • Its a shame you cant see how rubbish insurance companies are until you need them. I dont think its always down to cost either. Hope its sorted soon. You sound positive which is good. I think that would have sent me bananas trying to deal with.

    Hope they didnt take anything sentimental. Glad to hear it wasnt the witch!

    Thanks KP. I think if it wasn't for the Prozac I would have gone doolally :) Witch hasn't made life easy so I've applied for another job. I'm hoping I'll get shortlisted and get an interview next week. You could say I'm running away and your probably right but I've decided that I'm getting too old to stay and fight any longer. The job is making me unhappy and the weight is dropping off me, something has got to give so I've decided to move on.

    Am actually really hoping I get the job as it sounds interesting and I really need a challenge.

    Have been sent home early from work as the snow is really bad here. Have had a few hours listing books on Amazon so I feel as if I've done something worthwhile. Have got a day off work tomorrow, going to Cardiff shopping with J (weather permitting) so don't have to think about work again until Thursday :)

    Can't believe the country comes to a standstill aftersome snow, we just don't seem to be prepared for anything here do we?

    Well another week is nearly over asnd what an easy week its been. Sent home early from work on Monday and Tuesday because of the snow then I had annual leave on Wednesday so it's been a short week for me. Can you believe the disruption that the snow has caused?

    You'll be glad to hear that I spent Tuesday afternoon listing loads of books onto Amazon and have had 2 sales already so I seem to be picking up ever so slowly. I really need to get myself back onto e-bay, maybe that'll be a job for one night next week.

    Off to bed now so catch you all tomorrow.

    Good to see you back hun...
    Lots of luck with the job application. I think it will be a huge weight off your mind if you get it.
    I've been busy listing on ebay too and not been posting on here, though have been keeping up with KP :D Hello KP...
    Glad to see you and J are still going strong :D

    Thanks Diz, well, me and J are still going whether it's strong is another thing. He's suffering from depression but won't accept it. Am going down tonight (don't know if he'll even let me in) and try to coerce him into getting some help. Why do men think it's such a failure to admit to depression?

    Sold another book on Amazon this morning, still only made about £3 profit but at least it's clearing the shelves a bit and every penny counts.

    Not planning on going out today, going to spend the day cleaning. The house seems to be a constant tip and I'm not keeping on top of it at all.

    Some good news though my insurance company have been so rubbish with my claim that they are looking at putting together a compensation package for me so may make a few pounds there. Still not got it all sorted and I seem to be pushed from one company to another. Will definitely not go with them again.

    My list of jobs for today is:
    Take something out of freezer for lunch - done
    Get washing out of machinen- done
    Wash some more clothes - done
    Burn some boxes - done
    Ironing :(
    Polish floor

    I'm hoping to get the majority of that done before I head down J's tonight.

    Catch you all later.

    OK, its the big day today. Ive got my interview at 10.00 this morning and even though I'm not that nervous I'm fretting over what to wear. I really really want this job it's ideal for me and I want to shine at interview.

    I know that I've already got a job and if I don't get this job it won't be the end of the world, but I'm desperate to get out of where I am and I want to work somewhere nice. This job is ideal for me.

    Wish me luck guys.......
