    Well done for taking the plunge and doing it Merry - you've possibly done the hardest bit now I suspect, actually admitting you have a promblem and that this is the oinly way of dealing with it.

    You are right, although I think so far the hardest thing has been telling my Mum. I hope to get up there asap so I can give and receive a massive hug from her!! :o

    Merry - I don't post on the this board much as I'm mainly on the DFW board strutting my stuff! Just want to say, I've read many of your posts and I would just like to say how positive you've been and also you've made me laugh when I've felt down. You seem so upbeat, keep it up!

    Sorry to sabotage your thread.

    I wish you so much good luck and keep up the good spirits!

    Sorry me again. Just noticed that you, me and Waspeze are not that far apart location wise. Must read thread properly before posting!

    Had a mini meltdown at work. I was fine until a friend asked me if I was alright, and then my eyes started watering and I was a goner :cry::cry:

    My boss was brilliant - took me into an office and let me whinge and whine, then told me to go home, do what I could then put it out of my mind until I needed to do the next thing. So I am going to make myself a proper list, and remind myself of the following:

    * I am good person
    * I am a strong woman
    * I will get through this

    Got home and the welcome packs from the Co-op for the joint account and for my cashminder account are here. Seems a bit light though - the account number and sort code are on the front of a letter but nothing else? :confused::confused: Anyway, I need to amend the SOA to include these accounts although I wil obviously be advising the OR that I would like to keep them open as they are for post-BR.

    Think hearing about the house was such a relief, then booking the BR date jus got on top of me. I feel a bit of a wuss, but I also know that I can pick myself up again and deal with this.

    So, Merry not quite so Merry today but pulling herslf up by her bra straps! :o
