I've been to the doctors and she's told me I'm stressed!! Could have saved my petrol, cos I know that. My right eyelid keep throbbing, and you can see it pulsing!! She said its caused by being stressed. Hubby should find out tomorrow if he's safe in his job.. so fingers crossed.
We've just received our I & E thing for 1st annual review, so I'm supposed I'm stressed about that, we've been on a fixed rate for utility bills annd this finishes April 09, dreading what the rise will be!! Don't know where to start.. we do manage on what we have but struggle to keep much in contingency!!
Any tips for this review on how to go about completing and collecting things would be appreciated x

My eye was doing the same prior to my trust deed getting protected. I blamed it on new contact lenses but clearly it wasnt that.
I have just completed my 6 monthly review(yup twice a year for me),and my advice is sit down when its quiet and if theres anything you arent sure of ask on here or if you can contact your IP firm and ask.
As for the fixed rate on utilities shop around as lots of companies are lowering prices.
Fingers crossed for Hubby and his job.

Sorry to hear you're stressed Ang, although I can understand why with everything you're going through at the moment.
Fingers crossed that hubby gets good news tomorrow, and big hugs to both of you xxx

It helps to have kept a copy of your original I&E and be as honest as you can. If you have spent more than you thought you would on something then increase it and see what your IP says.

Fingers crossed that it all goes ok for hubby tomorrow.

We have all our original stuff, so will dig it all out and compare what we use and what we had in I & E, we are honest, every penny of overtime over the allowed amount has went off along with payslips each month.. I care so much that we do this right and get through the full 5 years I think thats why i get in such a state when things start to slide off the tracks..
I'm a natural worrier!![:D]

We've just done our annual review and had to sit there comparing the figures from last year to this.
You don't realise just how much things have gone up till you sit dow and compare them do you?
I am sure it will be ok. You've done everything by the book and your company will know this.

Hope you're okay mate - a pulsing eye is not a good look you know [;)]
The thought of going through the figures is stressful, but I'm sure when you sit down and get through it, you'll be fine. Really hope Gary's job is okay, keep us updated xx
