		<description>Hi all

Sorry if I keep updating but this blog is a bit of a journal to me. If I babble on please ignore me

Nearly back to my positive self today, apologies for the last post very depressing! Been comfort eating a bit this week so must stop that as I have lost 1 stone &#38; aim to lose another over the summer. My daughter has been offered 2 places at university, can not imagine what it will be like with all 3 of them at uni. Feel very proud of them!

Do any of you find it is best to keep really busy to take your mind of the situation especially whilst waiting and going through the IVA process? I actually cleaned the windows the other day this was gasped at by everyone of course taking the Mickey out of me.

The one thing I do feel now all the lies are out &#38; I have no secrets is I definitely feel a nicer person &#38; have time to talk to people &#38; smile and find myself laughing. I am not that intense maniac obsessed with the markets anymore. I also drive a lot slower and do not have the anger &#38; frustration I had. Of course it has been replaced with fear &#38; realisation of how I got here &#38; what do I do?
First part still figuring out 2nd part I made the call so I am doing something.

Everywhere I look gambling/betting is sponsoring programmes this will eventually lead to nothing but sorrow for most people

Again apologies for blabbing but this is good therapy for me writing it all down and I do not want to waffle too much on the main thread.</description>

		<description>Well 3 weeks on &#38; I have sent off all the info to Melanies team. Now the waiting game. In the meantime I am finding the guilt very hard to bear but my hubby is being a great support. God only knows why after what I have done. I am hoping to do a F &#38; F settlement &#38; hubby is willing to help me the only stipulation was changing the tel number as the silent calls were driving him mad and; he said he hated the thought when he was at work of me taking horrible calls. I thought I deserved them really but after all he has put up with &#38; will have to help me with it was the least I could do.
It was my Sons 20th Birthday and; My Daughters 18th last week. Felt a bit down as I could not afford to really splash out like I wanted to. But we all enjoyed it all the same.

Unfortunately we have a very bad family history of cancer &#38; strokes in fact all my family apart from my brother and; sister have died from one or the other. 2 weeks ago my brother had 4 minor stokes, luckily enough he has no outward physical effects but it has really knocked the stuffing out of him big time he seems to be unable to do much at all.

All of a sudden I seem to have developed high blood pressure going from an average 120/80 to 140/90 then at the weekend 160/105 . Back to the Dr’s tomorrow. I know it is from all the stress of this debt problem.

Sorry for the depressing post, I promise to be cherrier next time.</description>
