    Small update.... OH is now the proud owner of some Citalopran (or something like that! Anti-Ds) although he hasn't actually taken any yet, and has a follow up appt with the Dr on Thurs:T

    I am on these, take a week or so to kick in but have helped me a lot.

    Glad things are going ok for once! :D

  • My PAD takes the CC debt to bang on £11k today, so thats good... not sure where its gonna from here, but the 0% card will be saving me £40 interest a month.... hopefully by the time the 0% runs out on the Virgin card, Sainsburys will offer me a BT deal too - here's hoping :)

  • No sign of OH's JSA money yet :( needs to hurry up though as we need food... OH and I will survive today, because DS is at nursery, but he is home the weekend and we'll need some fresh bits

    Have decided about nursery that we will keep DS where he is, as he is settled, but will reduce his hours on the days that he does, thus saving us some money. His funding starts in April so if I can reduce his hours to, say 15, then that will save us money now and will mean that we'll only be paying for a few hours a month.... thats the plan anyway, just need to find out what hrs are available....

    Otherwise, to coin a phrase, we are skinter than skint things in Skintville - happy days :o

  • Wonder if everyone is having as exciting a Valentines as I am...? OH went out to the shop at 1930 last night with £10 in his pocket, to buy some cigs.... and came back completely drunk at 1am, with a kebab in his hand! !!!!!!!?! Then after crashing around down here until who knows what time, he rolled into bed, stinking of said beer and kebab *insert pukey smilie here* He's still there now, after only getting up once, in a semi-concious state, for a wee.

    Was woken up at 8am by DS, who came in for a cuddle.... then threw up all over me! Then again on the floor as we were clambering off the bed - nice! He's definatey still not feeling well as he only ate one triangle of toast, and hasn't eaten anything else so far today, only drinking. Gonna try and get him down for a sleep soon as he's obviously tired too.

    So my Valetines day consists of clearing up sick, watching tv with DS, and playing Mariokart (DS likes to 'watch the racing' :) ) as well as a bit of farming :o

    I ought to be mad at OH, but I don't think theres any point, and I'm actually enjoying some me and DS time without him - he needs to get a job, him being here all the time is getting on my nerves!! I will just add thought that we'd already agreed not to get each other anything for Valentines, so no soppy cards here :D

    Hopefully the JSA money will come on Monday so I can go shopping, although going through the cupboards and freezer, we've got enough stuff for random meals :o Also the bills money is owed £110 which needs to go back ASAP as there are DDs coming out next week, and not currently enough to cover them :o

    Looking forward to playing squash with my friend tonight, so I can take my OH frustrations out on the squash ball!! Lol!!
