    Hi Taxi, just having a catch up. Glad you had a good birthday. Hope the tooth settles soon. I would rather have 10 labours than toothache!

    Your goals look good and very similar to what I want to achieve - especially the decluttering! xx

    I can't believe I still haven't been to sleep yet and am so tired but can't sleeep....ahhhhhhhh.

    Have been messing about with figures and was happy to realise that
    (1) total cc debt is down to ..............£12859.07
    (2) total loans debt is down to............£16988.60

    TOTAL OWING..........£29.847.67
    I know it's still a lot but am quite happy with those figures for now.

    It'll be nice to see the CC debt under £10k and loans under £15k....

    Thanks all...it is now a full blown abscess...I originally had it checked mon where they gave me antibiotics just in case!!!..I have been taking them but it has got a lot worse so I rang them today and went this afternoon where they say I now def have abscess and have doubled my antibiotics and have given me another 5 datys worth..when I went the other day they booked me to have the tooth removed next friday (26th)..so need to take the tablets and hope it's gone by next week so that I can have it removed....

    I cannot open my mouth and cannot chew so all I've had to eat today is a chocolte mousse.

    On the MSE front I've paid £286.14 off Halifax CC today so only £700 left now.

    Had a small walk with dogs last night and a walk to dentist today so a bit of exercise done.

    Also popped in Aldi for stuff for the week as don't think I'll feel like doing much over next few days.
    Haven't done anything else as really tired.

    You take it easy, no wonder ur not sleeping, with the absess, sounds daft,but try and eat whatever you can- get the make up ready, - no not for a ngt out, but when I had mine I looked like a hamster who'd held feed in her mouth, bruising looked like I'd been slapped in the face, sticks in mind, as we were off to Ireland, and the dayb4 we went my then boyfriend sent me a bouqet of flowers as a get well prezzie....... gave them to the neighbour opposiate, she was over the moon....

    Hope you get some sleep xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
