Thanks Redoredofromstart said:Sounds sensible to me DIA. I think there are many MSEers holding our collective breath ready to celebrate with you as you move into the next phase.
Good to know there are people rooting for me. If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

I'm starting to feel calmer at last. I'm making today a NSD as I have enough food. I'd like some fancy water, but will have a jug of tap as I have lemon to make it palatable.
I spoke to a friend about BI and I'm going to take a low stress option that isn't very MSE. It will be more expensive probably but I can't face the comparisons, emails etc...Next year I will be more settled and will get the best price. I would like to pay it in full instead of monthly. That is my task for tomorrow. It feels easier. I don't have a sense of dread now.
Today I'm making a chicken curry. Other than that I will be reading and snoozing with a tiny walk
Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday
