Lucielle's daring debt free journey

Insurance was eye watering, but its done now. Business is slowly picking up which is great as we only have enough money put away for wages until the 22nd of February.

good to hear it's picking up and hopefully will get a lot better as the weather improves

DS1 has had his first adventure. He managed to pop a tyre in a pothole on the same day that his car was booked in to have its exhuast looked at. Not only did he have that to pay for but I got a phone call from his old insurers to say that as he hadn't been insured with them for more than 10 months he wasn't entitled to it. This in turn put another £400 on his insurance but he was getting £200 back off his previous insurer. Phew hope that makes sense.

DD2 came back from sking having had a great time. She's got some great photos.

Had DS2s options evening last night. He wants to do both Geography and history which are very wordy and as he's dyslexic I worry about him doing both subjects.

DS1 took himself to college today. First time on the motorway and he managed fine. Tis only natural I worry.

We've been off today, sorting out our ebay shop and checking the margins. Also off tomorrow to carry on with more of the same.

My mum has gone in for respite care for a couple of nights. She's not happy about it. Stepdad is being a bit of a wimp and still complaining, everybody is losing patience with him. Have managed to hold a reasonable conversation with middle sister but still have the eggshell walk IYKWIM.

Feeling very unsettled at the moment, like I want to run away and hide.

Bathroom is like the never ending story. Managed to get the light fitting and pull switch done. Also got 2 new sockets done as the others were dangerous. Chappie had to come back to fit the towel rail but in the process we now need a new skirting board and then it will be finished.

If I ever mention decorating again please stop me.

See you've been busy as usual.It's only natural to worry about DS especially on the motorway as they don't get taught that.Myself I think that once they pass the driving test they should have to have some sort of plate and lessons to drive on the motorway.
Well done on the bathroom being nearly finished and can understand the feeling on edge wanting to run away feeling,please try to have some relaxation time x

My DS did pass plus once he passed his test.
Well worth it in my opinion.

162 listings checked on ebay, would like to get it to 200. Slowly losing the will to live but its nearly done for the next 12 months.

Off to pick up the photos this afternoon and call into Ikea and get DS2s wardrobe and desk. Feel more money draining away.

Got to pick DD2 up at 10 she went to the disco and then went to her frineds. Whilst I'm doing that DD1 is going round the village with her CV to see if she can get a Saturday job.

DS1 is taking himself to get his hair chopped as there is a Young Farmers ball tonight.

My mum was asked to leave the respite care for being aggressive. Its not going well. She, however, was very pleased as she got to go home.

Can you get me some meatballs at Ikea?
Sadly it is a 90 mile round trip for us so not cost effective to go for DS's meatballs.
In awe of the amount of ebay listings.
Not so good about your mum~apart from maybe for her.

The listings are quite easy as we run a shop, its checking the margins and competition that takes the time. Still its nearly done. Got the accountant coming on Tuesday so need to get the books sorted.
