Hey Castle...joining your car repair waiting list..blummin typical just before xmas...

Am wondering if you have staff suddenly not coming in to work...also seems to happen around this time of year ..hangovers,illness,parties and shopping..lol.....also had a few shunting round hours and putting more on the full timers.

Glad your feelling better today and you sound lifted up where you belong and working through those obstacles..

Together we shall boot those pesky life gremlins right into orbit....whoooosh xx

Thank u Rachael ur so thoughtful

Much better day yesterday even with picking a bug up over the weekend but was only 24 hours and feel better already a big positive was replacing my tv which was held together with cellotape for a huge 40 inch one so over the moon with that , spent the rest of the day decorating the flat and turnin it into xmas for when my daughter finished school , she loved it so was nice to see her happy

Another busy week this week so loads to do to keep me busy. Just the way I like it

Hi Castle,

Sounds like a busy one work wise mate. But as you say sometimes its good to stay busy. Glad ya had a good day yesterday must've been great seeing ya daughter so happy. I love Christmas I think it's a great time of year, well be better without the cold. Anyways try not to work to hard - I always try not to!

Hey Castle..

It just goes to show does'nt it ..that no matter what side of the forum we are on we are all at heart struggling to deal with the same emotions and struggles ....

We are all in this together and maybe all on the same path in a way but just joining it from different in roads...

Your prescence on this site always makes me feel good inside and your support and kindness is something I also have grown to rely on when I log in no matter how often you post...

busy times ahead for us ....hugs R and D xx

Hi Castle,

At last a day off , this week has gone so fast not had one minute to myself and don't know whether iv been comin or goin so today it will be nice to get the few bits iv to do out of the way and Then av a chill for an hour or so

hey Castle...snap on our days off...

Mine was ok ..went back down and then picked back up..the power of a day eh??..lol...

Had to do minute at a time today as sometimes on my days off worries just seem to crowd in and i say...stoooop and keep busy..

Back in work tomorrow as my yorkies and gravy mash went down a treat...good old soul food...like Popeye I got my strength back...lol.

hugs

Spoke with solicitor yesterday as had a final form to fill in wanting all pension details which will take bout 2 weeks to get from my work , once thats done a date at court can then be booked which is bout another 4 weeks , that takes us up to end of Jan but with xmas and my ever disbelieving solicitorsI can probably add another month onto this

So already not the start for next year I was looking for but this is something I will just av to deal with it mentally its a big blow the reality is life goes on and get on with it , I av saved every letter from my solicitor and when this is all done I am goin to write to them with every detail of how they av treated me , I av already expressed my concerns but at the moment I just want my divorce finalised the stress of it all is enough without getting involved in arguments bout what a very poor job they av done

Still holding it all together but like many with xmas coming up feel very vunerable and need to be careful , feel very bitter towards solicitors and I know I need to let that go I can't deal with that now but will when the time comes

Working weekend ahead so that will keep me busy and with my daughter in between should get through it without too much stress

Hiya castle. Thanks for your post. I'm looking forward to the darts but think Taylor may have one last trick up his sleeve this year, gonna be a great tournament that's for sure.

Yeah you can't let the solicitors stress you out, easier said than done I know. But you've done a great job so far and the time will come when you can let them have it. Not to far away now and all of this will be over.

Hi Castle...

Yep..solicitors...pull up a chair as this could be a long one....also for different reasons had to deal with them over the years and the concept of doing anything "quick" does not feature as they tend to drag everything out and charge you for more letters.

Very frustrating for you and also I totally get what you say about a psychological new start and a firm closure on this year....You WILL get that I guarnatee... and then will know where you stand and what you have for your future rather than feeling in permanent limbo all the time .

This is where the day at a time comes in....a mental trick I have done is to take it as tax year to tax year ..April to April rather than Jan to Jan ...that has kinda helped a bit and taken some resentment away,..on the legal front there is an Ombusman I think you can file a complaint to.

One time I got so mad with my solicitors as every day i was ringing and was told "he's on lunch"..all at different times of the day ..then one time I rang in the morning and got the same reply and then in the afternoon on the same day and they said "he's on holiday!"...I said "You lot had better get your story straight"..

When this is all over Castle...we shall also celebrate closure of the past and raise a toast to that...along with g/free days...

hugs and your working week,daughter and GC will keep you sane xx

Hi Castle,

Feel for you....Bloo** solicitors........biggest rip off in Britain!

Rach is right.....wait till it's all done then contact the ombusman. My friend is also having really hard time with her solicitor, no return calls, no e mail......How the h*ll are they allowed to get away with it?

I have every faith in you Castle, once it is all sorted out your stress levels will go down and you will get back to hopefully being "you" again.

James for x factor!
