Yesterday...

[fpb]

...all my troubles seemed just here to stay, now it looks as if they're far away, Oh I believe in yesterday.

If anyone did what I asked in the Christmas wish meme and prayed that the ongoing torture by bureaucracy I was suffering should end, congratulations, one of you at least must be pretty good at prayer. In a couple of days, the monstrous logjam that threatened to pull me under and drown me at any time has just broken up and vanished. Nearly all the money that I was owed has come in and I am safe and in the process of settling all debts and recovering my property. For the first time since the August fire, I feel confident that I will not be turned out of my flat in a couple of days and end up sleeping under a bridge.

Merry Christmas and happy new year, everyone.

Yoohoo! That's great! Wonderful! Absolutely fabulous! Congratulations! It must be such a relief for you. I'm very glad for you.

You said it, ma chere. Every little bit of it. I absolutely loathe being in debt, it destroys my energy. I tell you that all day now I have been feeling ten years younger.

Oh dear! I didn't know you had a fire in your flat. How dreadfull! But I'm glad to hear that your situation is developing for the better - just in time for xmas! :-) So, congrats!

It was in early August, there is an entry in my LJ about it. But I have not been saying everything that went wrong since, because I do not like to whine in public. I had to find a new flat and there was plenty of trouble getting there (that is, here) - which is over at last, and, as you say, just in time for the season. It is so nice to have good news for a change.

Yay! How wonderful for you - I'm so glad that you don't have to worry about that any more.

Thank you. And a Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you, and may your jokes never grow less!

That's wonderful news, I'm really glad for you :D

Hey, you do not have to have a monopoly on happy news and good times! Seriously, your recent posts have been a highlight and given me a good bit of secondhand happiness, so thank you and enjoy your Christmas.

YAY!! It's always good to hear that things are looking up, and goodness knows you need a little cheer in your life right now :) Things can be... well, rough, on all sides, and I'm just happy things seem to be clearing up.

Thank you. Maybe we can all help each other up bit by bit. Good luck with everything.

[purple-mirie.livejournal.com]

That's great! :D I'm very happy for you.

I know you are, because you are a nice person who feels for others and would hate people to be in pain. The abundance of good people like you on my f-list is one reason why I have preferred to keep my worst troubles mostly to myself - you could not have helped, and you would have been unhappy on my behalf. I can sincerely say that you and people like you have given me strength, when I was most depressed, just by existing, so thank you all for being alive. Oh, but that is the name of my friends page, anyway.

Congratulations--that's very good news.

Good news - so now you're only waiting for BritTelecom to appear on your doorstep again?

[fpb.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, whenever that mythical event will take place. (Now it turns out that I must send a £50 deposit before I even have an appointment set up! Can you beat that?)

I must send a L50 deposit before I even have an appointment set up! Can you beat that?

Returnable one?

Other question: did you get my mail? I know I asked already, but L_J is making fun with comments lately, so I thought I'd rather ask again. There's no need to answer it, I just want to know if I should sent it again :)

[fpb.livejournal.com]

I did, sorry. I do not know whether I will be able to do all my Christmas chores before the New Year, though...

[bufo-viridis.livejournal.com]

No problem, just wanted to know if it hasn't been lost, as it happens. Nothing to be in hurry about :)

[rfachir.livejournal.com]

:) Glad tidings of great joy are busting out all over :)

[fpb.livejournal.com]

And I hope it is the same for you. I have a feeling that once or twice I may have been rather insensitive towards you in particular. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and, as the guy said, live very very long and prosper.

[rfachir.livejournal.com]

Live long and prosper - I'll do that. I've developed an addiction to walking - who would have thought I'd ever stop avoiding exercise? More good things are appearing every time I turn around.

Don't worry about my sensitivity - I expect sweeter creatures to have a few prickles. Much peace and joy to you, too.

I am glad to hear your good news. Relief from such stress is a wonderful feeling.
