    Thats a really lovely thing ur doing for mum by paying her water bill. It sounds like ur dads also a great guy helping her out, maybe hes leaveing the door ajar for her.

    You've done brilliantly with the debt busting, even if u haven't managed to pay any extras off, look at it this way you havent increased the debt,and also you have to have a life inbetween x

    Yeah he is great, I spoke to him yesterday about what my Mum had said and he basically said although he likes how it is now it's kind of getting to the point where they either have to give each other complete space or move back in together cos as he said he's nearly 56 and if he's gonna start a new life then he needs to do it now!!

    That does make me feel better when you put it like that, I haven't increased the debt and it is slowly coming down!!

    How is your Mum now?? How are you and dd? xx

    I can see one very big torch there for your mum.

    I'm ok, weve had dd really poorly with sickness bug she nearly ended up in hospital on Sat with dehydration, trouble is were down in Devon, she was meant to be going back home Sunday, shes improving slowly, but now mums come down with it, luckly as Id planned to stay on for a few days, so at least accomodation were sorted, so fun + games cancelling all their dentist, docs, sky man and cheated, didnt want to speak to headmaster so rang at 8am, knew get ansaphone....... we dont see eye to eye as I am a woman with an opinion, and hes likes a yes woman!!

    On gd point get day at races thurs, off to Newton Abbot + weather suppose to be good, so mse may be going out of window unless I have winning horses!! x

    Hi helnag,

    Hope feeling better soon! I end up posting all the time (people will get bored) but it helps me stay away from shops (and housework, ha)!
