Actually that sounds really positive.

I guess it was I usually always put negatives in dont I!

Sold another item on BIN so another £9 profit in fact more becasue Im using the stamps my friend gave me :beer: :j so £10 . Another item will sell at the lowest price at least on Sunday £5 but hoping for more. 2 watchers on teh blouse that ends Sat but only about a £1 expected there.

No filing or sorting done got distracted by DD1. SHe told her friends OH and I hit her so they told the teachers. I now have to go in and explain everything. Which should be fun. I wont tell you of what I think of SS and all the "help" they gave my Mum. Had a long talk to DD that we do make mistakes but that we love and care for her loads. I have sought help from the Docs hence the time off.

Hope you get on ok at school hun.

Hope school went ok, and there was no backlash from dd, it sounds like you have a supportive and understanding gp, thats half the battle these days.
You take care and dont rush back to work, unless ur sure its the right thing.

Thats gd news about oh debt, hopefully that will go through ok, and the extra will help the main debts.

chool were great very understanding and helpful. Apparently they were worried about me. Talked to head who agreed to speak to the kids about listening to us more and that Mummy isnt well right now and needs a bit of help. We are going for school dinners until easter to help with the cooking late when back from work and she offered it a £20 a week versus the £24 (I thought it was closer to £30 oops). She will also tell DD1 that it was her idea so I hopefully wont get the back lash. It wont help the budget but should be offset by grocery costs and the extra £140 a month Ill be getting. First installment today when OH gets back. I said we should go £120 every two weeks to even it out.

ISOM Im sorry if my post offended you. I know SS do good work I just had a bad experience growing up.

M21 GPs if my practice are good Im very lucky. Got new appointment Monday so will see. Kinda want to extend for another two weeks till after half term but not sure. Am I well enough yet?? Feeling much better but will work just put things back to where they were?

Life sounds very, very tough for you right now. I'm glad the appointment at the school went well, at any rate. Time off till after half term for you, though, sounds important, if you feel okay *now*, but without the demands of the job, that doesn' t mean you're well enough to go *back* to the job, it means you're well enough to *get* well enough, if you know what I mean. You're on your way, thats what I mean. Hope you can keep on getting your reserves on energy back on track.

Spends update before I forget:

£40 yesterday for school dinners
£15 today for dentist checkup for DS and DD2 forgot to pay earlier.

At least no chocolate spends!

Spoke to Mum who is feeling well. She had the Op yesterday and should be ready to come out on Sunday so OH will pick her up and bring her here. Said I would cook and we can go through Tesco online and get a shop ordered. Niece may have cleaned the house but apparently is hopeless at food shopping (The money never seems to get to the grocery shop)!

Had a friend around earlier. Makes me feel bad that I feel sorry for myself at least my kids are well. She has split from DH and her son has leukemia (sp). He seems to be fighting it well so should get through it.

Finally got around to start to sort out paperwork. I am really embaressed how bad it had got. About three carrier bags full which is now sorted on my bed ready for filing when the gilrs have cleared the floor by putting their clothes away. I chucked half a bin bag of paper in recycling.

Next step will be decluttering the rest of the bedroom including my wardrobe that I cant fit anymore into. Too much doesnt fit me anymore . Will also do some more ebaying. Hoping to make £10 profit this weekend the way things are looking at the moment.

Off to yell at the girls and watch CDWM.

mum2one

Youve had a really productive day, thats the trouble with paperwork, it ends up everywhere.
You seem to be keeping busy, esp with all the decluttering, have you got to go back to gp next week, dont be pushed into going back to work until u feel its right.
Sorry to hear about your friends son, hope everything goes on ok with him,xx
