Spoke to my adviser today, she told me not to worry, there had been a few people complaining about the company and they were not happy with them for lying about having various vacancies and not to worry if I don't want to work for them. Which I don't, so thank God I won't get sanctioned.

She said if it had been that I'd refused because I couldn't be bothered then there would be a sanction for it, but she said they don't trust the company and have passed details of the company onto HMRC after they heard about workers boasting about paying just 8% income tax instead of the 20% they should be paying.

Glad things turned out good for you marc with your adviser today in regards to you getting sanctioned, it really would have been unfair to get sanctioned for something outwith your control.

Thanks weenie. I was glad as well, I just popped in and asked to speak to my adviser.

Keep your spirits up Mark as l am sure things will work out well in the end for you.

Apps and their developers. Why is it that when you either just get used to something or you like something, they go and change it? Been using Spotify for a while now, and just now it updated when I launched it. The apps section seems to have been removed, lists are not synced for offline listening, and generally just looks worse.

I've complained to them on Twitter about, but doubt I will ever get a reply.

And when doing something on someone's Kindle, making a small mistake that saw me having to waste ten minutes deleting 23 pages of collections manually before doing them again on the laptop. For some reason, I can use a plugin to CREATE but not delete.

Needles. Five times a day. And a new one (Aranesp - once a fortnight). Don't get me wrong I know they are pretty essential - I hate them though.

Thought about trying hypnosis to cure your fear?

HHHmmm - I don't think I'm scared enough to warrant it, I do inject myself after all.

But to be fair hypnosis is not something i've ever thought about.

Well l was never a lover of needles like most of us but six months in hospital having it done several times a day sometimes kind of made me immune to the pain of that little needle so l don't worry about it now.

Thankfully I can't say as recognise no.3 yet

I used to have an aversion to needles, what cured me was a course of cortisone into my back. No prior pain relief just 10-14 injections at a time, the worst one being into the 'tail bone' which made my eyes water!
