    Hi,

    We've had lunch and i've loaded the wm & Td again. I'm going to wash up then start unpacking.

    FFP it might be an idea to contact Womans Aid, they'll be able to help if you want to leave but feel you can't.

    FFP you've got my number sweetie.....if I can help you know I will.......shame I'm such a long way away.......please think of Piper & the boys xxxxxx

    Thanks everyone. I'm OK in fact I'm more than OK. 1st major step in getting out done. I spoke to my doctor on the phone today, I have been calling the surgery for months and getting a rubber ear from the receptionist so today I spoke to someone different and the doctor called me back. Dr not too happy with the fact that I left it so long to get help but when I told her about the contact I had made she was fumming so someone will be getting their butt kick today. I have a prescription to get collected from the chemist and the district nurse is coming to do bloods and I have a GPN or GSN or something coming to see me too. If I can just learn to get out and cope on my own again I can move out of here. Not brilliant but better than nothing. I need a question answered though I need to get a bank account of some sort so that I can start to stash money away, BUT my credit hystory is mince any ideas where to try bearing in mind I can't get to a branch??????????????? Sorry I'm going on again.

    List deffo coming up shortly

    ffp - good to see you taking control and sorting this out. ((((hugs)))) for you and your children.
    Can you get to a post office? The Co-Operative is a brilliant bank - I pay cheques in at the post office and everything else is done online. The cashminder account is the one to go for.

    FFP can you ask someone you trust to hold your getting out money? But brill to see you are being so strong in planning - go you!

    I know I haven't been here long but already feel like I'm accepted:T

    Best wishes to all who arn't well, hope things start to look better for you.

    FFP, I know you don't know me but I have been in a simular place and although it is hard, you have to think of yourself and lovely kids. As someone else on here said, you have to think what you would do if things get any worst and make plans, in a way the fact that you've done that, makes you feel a little calmer IYKWIM HTH.

    well i've done as much as i'm going to for now, had lunch, wm on.

    going to jump in the shower ( i fly in my pj's too rosepink) then dh, dd, ds, dd's friend and me are off to the seaside - ds is sitting ready with his bucket and spade - he's 14!:rolleyes:

    oooh bit of advice for the future please my aforementioned 14 ds was in his room last night i went upstairs knocked on his door, went in and he was, ahem, well, doing what i suppose most teenage boys do at some point. we were both mortified and i can't even remeber what i went up for any suggestions for dealing with this in the future greatly appreciated because i'm sure it'll be something he'll be doing again:o:rolleyes:

    thanks
