    I have no idea about the P45 to be honest....One of the first people i need to talk to on Monday is the administrators....they help with all of the forms to claim my pay, my redundancy and compensation which i am also entitled to as I didnt get any notice.

    I have told my mum and my sister, but not my dad yet. My little one was at my dads when I called, so I wasnt able to talk to him much as I dont really want the little one to know. He doesnt need to know these things.
    Meetings with the administrators should have been available on Friday - at least given people info about what would have been available.

    Glad you are sounding positive this morning Jo.
    It was always going to be bad, but at least with your LO away on hols you were able to concentrate on you - and :T to your friends for supporting you (including the one who rolled you on to the spare bed on Friday)

    Chunky hope your DS has a lovely birthday

    Just about to declutter DH and the boys to Harry Potter so I'll have a few hours peace. Debating sorting car insurance and then gardening or the other way around of just gardening.

    I'll see how I feel once my dalies are done - oh need to do the bathroom too as that has not been done.

    Morning everyone. A bit of rain here but its not too bad. Plans for today are to go and see mum and go see my DD now she is clear of SF. Looking forward to seeing her as its not the same chatting on the phone. Just the dailies for me as I want to relax a bit later.

    Jo Sounds like you had a good time with your friends and that they are trying to help you. Positive vibes on the way for you.
    chunky79 Happy Birthday to your DS. :bdaycake:

    Big hugs Tilli-tot

    Jo I will echo what others have said - you seem to be dealing with this really well and being strong - hugs for you too tho as we all need a hug even if we are being strong!

    Valli, I totally missed the point of that word last night, sorry, as I said my brain was tired and couldn't take in the definition altho I did try to read it! It just bounced off and wouldn't go in. You are a very clever lady

    It is a lovely peaceful morning here today, DH is sleeping as he was out all night doing night security at Twickenham Rugby Stadium so I'm trying to be very quiet shhh

    I've decided that I need to make a list of dailies and do them as early as possible every day so that I acheive something every day even if I then crash out for the rest of the day.

    Washing up is obviously one, and getting dressed, and watering my plants.

    What else would you suggest? What's on your dailies list?

    Morning everyone.
    Jo gald to hear you are feeling positive.
    Bekki know how you feel re house selling. We have been on for 8 weeks I think now. One sale fell through (came off market after 4 weeks and 6 viewings). We went back on last Friday and had 2 viewings this week and one offer yesterday but it was too low for us to accept. Lets hope they come back with a counter offer on Monday. The people who offered have had an offer from FTB which is too low. I understand that mortgages are difficult to get for some but feel that some FTB are just taking the pee and thinking that people will accept anything just because they have been on the market for a while. People have mortgages to cover and can only take so much of a cut. Anyway hang in there I'm sure we will sell soon and at least our homes are sparkling in the meantime:rotfl:
    list completion I dont think it really matters how we get things done as long as we all try. We all have different jobs/families/house sizes/other commitments so its not always possible for us all to get things done on the day they are posted so lets just try and do as much as we can.

    Here is my updated list

    Frantic Friday ~ a bit of it all!!
    Level One

    Empty and thoroughly clean out one cupboard! think I will do a kitchen one,
    Level Two
    Find 20 things from each room to throw in the bin! not sure I can do this but will try dont think there are 20 things left in each room to throw unless I cheat my counting hairs in brush:rotfl:
    Level Three
    Sort through one cupboard of clothes and fling all that is no longer vital will attack dh's wardrobe
    Fill a binbag for charity shop

    My 5 hearts thingie
    1)) 2 letters to write
    7) pay cheque into bank
    9) sort next returns out
    11)do all ironing did 2 hours last night so will do another tonight when kids in bed to finish it
    Weekend list

    1. find 25 things to ebay/sell/freecycle
    2. photograph said items.. run updtes for turbolister or auctiva.. whatever you use
    3. Clean out the car!!!!!
    When it stops raining here I will do the car but off to Asda now for meat for lunch. Did lots on allotment now and now have more soil than weeds. Actually feel that we have achieved something and have just got to keep up the battle of the weeds and we are proper allotmenteers!
    Have a good day everyone and will check in ,later when have done some sorting and flinging. going to get dh to bring everything out of loft to sort into baby clothes bundles for ebay challenge next week. I have never listed things before so will need help with this one please:o
