Good news on bone scan results.

Thanks GAP and Beanie. I just wish the receptionist had given me the result on the phone instead of making me wait and worry unnecessarily. They've ordered me different patches as apparently they are back in stock so that is positive. I need to go and collect them though as the e-ordering system wasn't working right. My fever seems to have finally broken which is good news.

Had an okay work day. Finished slightly early but not much. Caught up with my emails and had a couple of video calls. Worked from my sofa today - worked well for what was mostly reading, filing and deleting. Tomorrow likely to sit at proper desk. 

S'der called me about a complaint I made about their passwords being too sensitive - and they gave me £30 so that was positive.

Please you're feeling a bit better and that the bone scan results were okay. Good result on the £30 & the buyers wanting some of your furniture, great to have some wins amongst the stress of dealing with the bank and the move. Hope they get back to you with a viewing date soon.

While it is nice they gave you the £30 gesture did the bank offer any help with your password issues?

They said if I rang them after two wrong attempts - then I could potentially bypass the forced reset by them releasing my account. I can't move that account until after the move anyway - but after allowing for a £2 monthly fee it gives me at least £3 in cashback a month with zero effort which adds up. I also have a linked 5% plus interest savings account.

I hope that helps you in the future. I have that savings account too, I have no issues with them.

`£30 always useful  and hopefully a resolution

All sounds well on the moving - have you got a date yet?

Good result on the £30 I am thinking of purchasing some sort of password key software there are just so many and it is annoying to have to reset all the time.

Thanks Skint, LWAP and TG

Just had quite a maudlin counselling session. Obviously a lot of pent up stuff! Mix of moving stress, time of year and illness and health worries. On top of that I accidentally shut a file down today and lost 3 hours work unless someone can rescue a temp file somewhere for me.

Thankfully my cleaner has been and made a huge difference. I was a wake until gone 3.30am as I made the mistake of looking at my email in the early hours of the morning and saw my buyer wanted to come today. The house looked terrible. I ended up getting up for an hour and doing some bits including moving an easel upstairs and setting the dishwasher going - before mentally saying I can say no.

My cleaner came and my front room now has a more logical amount of furniture in it.  She really liked my new sofa and thought it was very comfy. We moved a chair that comes apart upstairs. She moved some other stuff upstairs. We got my recliner into my home office - it has weird sliders which helped.  She's cleaned the kitchen and lounge and vacuumed the hall stairs and landing and done the downstairs loo. She's made piles on the old sofa of what I need to finish sorting through. I didn't want her to put stuff away that I still need to bin / donate / go through and some of it was part sorted. My cleaner strongly suggested I refused the visit and gave an alternative day so I did that. I was worried the buyer would still turn up but he didn't which was a relief.

My mortgage offer arrived today and it all looks as expected. 

I've achieved a lot this week - I need to focus on that rather than all the things that feel out of control. At least the house looks more in control again and is therefore much less overwhelming. Hopefully I can continue to reduce how much stuff I have and make future me's life easier. I love how Dana on Utube says 'future me doesn't deserve that much credit.' She therefore advises against 'keep' boxes and says - put it where it goes or let it go. The cat is curled up next to me on the sofa purring away...

Hope you are all having a good week.

Glad to read the cleaner made it. I miss having one.
