DD got the trampoline, after the discount and the vouchers, had £44 left to pay, mum said put it on her card and only got to give her £22 back.

The air was a bit blue...took dad with me.....just fitted in the car with the back seat dropped, had bout 4ins spare, then when the lad said thats only the 1st of 2 boxes!! luckly the 2nd box smaller. Not sure when its getting put up.......dd over the moon.

Done well with OU studies,while catching up well better expression since tues afternoon, until got planned friday that be 2 1/2weeks worth of work done. Still bout 2 weeks and 1 assisgnment behind, but getting there and tutor very supportive.

No news yet on mums hospital appointments, got to ring our nice gp ( hes not our registered gp, but he's brilliant, he was originally only there for 6 month registrar period, but after yr of locuming theyve given him full time job,) he said he'd chase them up if we hadnt had them by thurs, apparently they were meant to be done in hospital b4 she left, but the NHS.

She finally confessed she hasnt got full feeling back down her right side, and I know its her that is poorly, but its scared the heck out of me and maybe its the kick up the rear I need to get other parts of my life sorted.

Got appointment nxt week - diabetic check up + get results from this blood test, so intend to sit up and take notice

Rebooked appointment with diatician - may take a bit longer to sink in but baby steps all go towards to big step

Mums got a "normal appointment" next week with our registered gp, so take her up and go with her.

It sounds daft but I thought as we got through that weekend ok, everything would be back to near normal, as normal as can be, just trying to be so strong for dd.

Have been very money orientated this morning, very worrying, getting money savy or what ever the word is.

My debt as Jan was 12158, but after looking at snowball, the interesnt on credit cards ans overdraft based on their repayment plan the interest I will be paying back is 3393, so I have decided to add that on to my sum owed, otherwise when Ive paid the 12158, I'm going to be left with money owing.

So apologies in advance to myself for the sum going up, but promise its not me haveing a blow out.

New total 15551

Just added up the extras from April, IS, CB (dont think went up as that went up in January), CTC and DLA it looks like I'm £53.24 a month better off, we must remember the 24p...... it may come in useful.

Its in one pocket and out the other as it will go off the m0oney I owe parents, at least it looks good for now x

Well done M21, I bet the way you are going that interest will be reduced. Hopefully you will get the bank charges refunded ASAP.

Did reply to your previous post ref appointments but post got scrubbed and too knackered to retype/think. Basic message was good luck and hope all goes to plan.

Another payment made, the snowball said £30, but I paid £45, a whole 50% extra.

Did well, I really fancied chocolate, got an Easter egg left, but no.... I left it and eat tin canned oranges!!

Absolutely shattered had dds friend round this afternoon,oh my god I thought she had ants in her pants, she was into everything, going through draws in the dining rm unit, in and out of mine + parents bedrm, (which dd knows is off limits when friends come). I was never so glad to 6pm come round.

Bless her though, when we took her home, her mum joked could we swop daughters as when mine goes round shes as good as gold, and they were hopeing it would rub off!

Mums still knocked for 6, simple things she struggles with, most of the time dad + I are with her, she doesnt feel safe by herself, shes nervous, which I guess is understandable, but struggling with certain things, so reserved to collect 2mor, travel kettle from Argos, she cant manage the standard kettle, so if she is alone then the travel kettle b more manageable.
Shes got hospital Monday so hopefully we should know more.

On the positive side, dd has got her ballet and tap exams 2mor afternoon, shes quite exicted.

Her swimming is coming on leaps and bounds, the instructor was plzed with all the swimming and jumping in she did on hol.

Just got one more credit card to pay this month, so hopefully may be able to pay an extra couple quid off at the end of the month.

Got my parcel from HalfCost, was like xmas, got a wackmore xmas prezzies done all at bargain prices. xx
