    :D I know, but littleys here so I can't fling him on the bed and ravage him *mumbles*

    He's here but I'm gonna do stuff, I can't sit twiddling my thumbs when I've got things I need to do....off to do the bed...and the DW.....and the hoovering..
  • Hugs MOJT, take things slowly and be kind to yourself. You can PM me if you need a chat, or just a scream, Im on and off here all day

    Early start for me today because I have on my list sweep floors. Easier said than done with arthritis in arm and leg joints (OCD panic aside) so this is going to be a question of sweep for 5 minutes and sit down for 30. Im determined though and if I can do this it means I can get my carer lady to clean the windows for me tomorrow instead of sweeping as usual. I cant stretch my arms above my head so this would come in very handy.

    Have a good day everyone! Hugs to those who need them and hope those who didnt feel well are better today.

    Edited because its too early in the morning to spell properly

    Mumofjusttwo - massive hugs to you xxxx
  • thanks everyone.

    What are you doing mudbath. I may have missed a few posts but don't remember seeing a note from you saying that you had finished yet. I am sure that I must have missed it as it is 10 o'clock!!!!

    Hope someone can answer a quick question. Looking at how much I would get for tax credit and it asks if I have a partner? No it says a partner is if you are married. Well we are but..... I take it that I should put no. Would that be right?

  • Morning all.

    Well DH is moving out..
    and well umm can't think of anything to say. Just trying to crunch figures and not sure how to make them work :(

    Take a deep breath and DON'T PANIC. THen get some good advice from solicitor. Make sure you have as much financial info as poss. Contact child tax credit. BREATH. Been through this myself, I actually found a great sense of relief once it happened. You will be OKAY. We are here for you. Oh go through all bills adjust where possible, people are more understanding than you think. Mind you I felt as though I had a great big sign over me, and felt that I constantly had to explain myself. One of the worse things was telling people {friends) Don't forget when you are having a bad day/moment we're all here for you to let of steam too.
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:

  • thanks so much.

    Well have told my mum. Bless her. I think she doesn't really know what to say but was expecting it.

    If I can find a way to keep the house I will be ok. Thinking about doing an interest free mortage but I do have 18 years left :eek: as that would reduce the costs
