Long term illness can be depressing but you have managed to keep a good sense of humour about you. I was unaware of how ill you are until I read this thread.

shAbbey are awful and I can't wait for the day for your thread to change to My Story - Simon -V- The (SH)Abbey****WON****.

We will all celebrate with you in CAG land.

Remember we are all here to help and keep inspiring us with your "warped" humourous posts.

Hi deedee

Thanks for that, I love the term Abbey buddy! A lot of people don't get my humour, they wonder how I can laugh at myself but if you can't laugh at yourself, then sorry I think there's something wrong......life is to short to be honest. Mmmmm, WON, it does sound good. Knowing my luck though I'll probably go out to bank the cheque and get knocked down by a low flying steam roller or something. Either that or Shabby will have gone bust overnight to spite me! Grrrrrr.

Simon,

That is just the most amazing story, and beautifully written as well................

Well done for keeping your sense of humour after all that has happened to you.

This is a strange place..................ev eryone has a story to tell, but people are hugely supportive and encouraging,so keep visiting and posting.

Keep telling us your progress in both your claim and your condition, and you'll find everyone will help you every step of the way

Good luck, and don't, whatever you do, let go of that sense of humour of yours

Hi Barbs26

I have had to fight for everything I've ever got or had, I am pretty much used to it by now but I don't see why I should be bullied by beaurocratic bankers (with a W), or So Knackered Your Television Viewing, or even the Didn't Want to Pay.

Don't get me wrong I have bad days when all I want to do is curl up and die and think why did it happen to me, what have I done to deserve it! The point is though, where will it get me? Life is about fighting for most of us but if we can get the occasional small victory on the way through it, then Yes, keep fighting!

If you have an ongoing case, please let us know how you are doing or if your unsure or a bit stuck I like many others on this brilliant site will help.

Simon

Hi Bonnie

Thanks for that you are very kind, I've been watching your thread grow but not managed to read it right through yet but I will, don't worry!

Your probs you mention Bonnie, are more important than mine or anyone elses because they are yours. It is great to know that so many people are all behind each other and I will be taking you up on that offer of help at sometime, I just know it.

Will speak, well type, soon and thanks for your post.

[quote=clarion48;942604]Hi there Simon,



You bet I took a copy of the cheque mate.......I'm gonna show it to the Judge on Thursday......how can they write a cheque before they've even sent the letter offering settlement.....must have been pretty sure of themselves.

I love your humour.....made me laugh so much. When you have a long term illness, it's good to be able to laugh....GOOD MEDICINE...I call it!!

Will keep checking in......my second thread is up now...Round 2 Go get 'em!!

Hi Anita

It certainly is good medicine, have just been givien the link for Kia's thread, so I am looking forward to reading that later and checking out Round 2. Please leave a crust in Shabbeys account for meeeeee! and the rest of us poor relations who havn't won yet will you??

Anyway I think I'll convert everybody into calling you Oliver now........Please Sir, can I have some more!!!!!
I bet the Chief Executive Officer at Shabby even looks like a cross between Fagin and old Ebeneezer..... .....can just see him set there in candlight at the front of the room on his big wooden desk, counting all OUR money that he's nicked!!........Well I hope he gets bloody woodworm!!!

I'm so glad they didn't ask for a gagging order, cos if they ask me WHEN I WIN! I'll tel em to f*@!#?f with a f*£%$*g cherry on the top!!!!!!!

Speak soon thanks for your support!

Hi Charley

Thanks for your words of encouragement. It is a strange place here..........which explains while I feel so at home.

I need to read your thread Charley as I do with so many people on here. You have all inspired me and helped me to carry on when I've had a bad day or 2 and thought about giving it up, so thank you all!

Simon. I just wanted to say 'Hi' and say well done for being able to keep hanging in there for your family despite of all your problems. My own story is that I experience some really bizzare visual problems which is effectively like having a perminant migraine which has gone on for the last 2 years with no sign of a definative diagnosis let alone a cure! I haven't been able to work and so I've relied on savings and selling stuff off. But having read your story I realise that my problems could be so much worse (don't mean to be cruel with that comment - I just mean it in the if you can get on with life there's no way in the world why I can't sense).

I haven't much practical support to offer, but hang in their 'cos we will get the buggers in the end! Stay strong!

Best of wishes

Hi Alex

I am sorry to hear about your illness it must be a nightmare for you:o , I suffer from migraines (am on suppressant tablets) but obviously not to the scale of your illness. I just mean I know what they are like and I couldn't imagine living with it on a permanent basis .

Please don't think that your problems are any less important than anybody elses.......thry are not!

Do you have your own thread?

How is your case going?

Please let me know.

Simon
