Ok, breathe, need to get back in the swing of things. Going to do my plan for the week and start from there I think!

Oh...forgot to mention - done banking and scratchies - all okay. Won £5 :j on scratchies so could withdraw today. yay!! Its a good start to the week then...

will be back in a bit with my list for today....

OK i never came back today. Been too busy trying to sort out my list of things to do! LIE

TBH I am struggling atm with family stuff and just keep feeling sad and then happy. The loss of my grandad is difficult enough and I have realised that my parents don't really give me much emotional support. DH is there for me I just wanted to play with DS today and so I did really. I did manage a bit of work (that was needed) but other than just been with DS and DH (when he came home from work) DH is annoyed as he doesnt get much time with DS anymore - he comes home from work, we have dinner then its like an hour or so before DS goes to bed in the week. I guess this weekend was a bit much as lots of people around and DH didnt really get a look in much. I get overwhelmed by all the people who clearly love DS - he had such a good day and had loadsa cuddles and fun with everyone. I just keep feeling how lucky we are, after everything we have been through, to finally all be happy and (sort of) healthy and have stacks of family and friends arround us who love us and we love.

Hopefully...the money side of things will improve too within time. That is why I know I have to keep on with the MSE things and kick the debts butt so we don't have to be MSE with things if we don't want to be and so our outgoings are lower. (Although we probably will anyway lol) So as I have the motivation I need...i MUST get back to it and so will get some rest tonight and return in the morning super motivated otherwise :money: can officially ban me for being a slacker :rotfl:

Hope your week has improved, sorry for not popping in to say hi for a while.

It was my DS 7th birthday yesterday so I know what you mean about being grateful for the company but just hoping for a minutes peace!

your list looks gigiantic but doable, good luck!

babyhead

Ive just written a large post and lost it all so i'll try again in the morning!

Thanks Kirsten - i have lots of peace now as OH gone to pub. DS was in bed but is up again! Happy Birthday to your DS aswell!!!!

kirstenc

Thanks BH. Hope DS went down ok for you and you got a minute to youself x

Gosh...ive not reported in but its becuz ive been busy doing stuff not becuz im being lazy for once!!!

Have been having a massive clean up and have also managed to paint outside - just finished and its going to rain soon so i havent done any work yet but will do tomorrow!!

I rung ESA people back (as they didnt ring me :rolleyes:) and they have put a pymt thru now and just said that they forgot to pay me oh ok then :mad: it will mean it is a week late. I asked whether that means i will always be a week late now and he was like no the next one will be paid when its due so just need to keep an eye on i guess :rolleyes:

my electric will be switched over shortly - they want 78 a month :eek: its 65 on my monitor so i think i wont argue for now as this will cover the extra in winter. I did receive a chq for 80 yesterday :j for my medical equipment use - that covers the last three months so i guess is somewhere near right. They have sent me a form to give them an uptodate rate so i'll fill that in as well and they are looking at doing monthly bacs payments which will be good :jSo thats positive.....

We have decided that we arent going to do a car boot until DS room is sorted as we'll then have more stuff to sell :rolleyes: So this week hope to get his bed etc... this then means we can free up some space in our bedroom

Going to BBQ this arvo so best carry on with bit of tidying....
