I think I should get all my toiletries out and see how I can make do!

Nothing much to report financially, I've hardly spent anything. Still to have a "formal" sit down with OH with my spreadsheet and budget but the kids are away next week so I'm going to do it properly for full effect. He is aware how annoyed/stressed I've been about the whole expenses incident.

Mega stressful day at work and came home to more child associated stress with a battle between kids and grandparent :mad: Not what I need as I have a difficult situation to deal with, as to which one to believe. Wish I could say more but paranoid someone "knows" me on here. Just so frustrating as I want to believe my kids but that would make life difficult - aaarrrrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Poor IMD!

Well done on such low spends. I have been an absolute MONSTER this month, hence me wanting to 'adopt' your spreadsheet to help me next month (hint, hint, cheeky wink! ). And I'm glad to see that you will be having a 'sit down' with OH to help sort out your situation: it might take a bit of 'getting through' at the minute, but it will be SOOO worth it in the end!

And as for the grandparent/children, and not being sure as to whether or not someone 'knows' you, I know exactly what you mean. I am half-afraid that I may have opened my mouth too widely on my thread a few times! :eek: (A bit of retrospective deleting, perhaps?!)

Well done as you ARE getting there: just get these niggles ironed out and keep going. x

I too feel the paranoia of the knowing!!!

Hope your ok, and that the kids are too. I think in regard to who to beleive go with your instincts. Sorry I have nothing bettern x

I'm sure no-one would know you - don't stress that one.

Please watch Mad Men tonight at 10pm Beeb 4 - honestly the sight of Mr Dream boat himself, Don Draper will melt away your stress! Chest pain is something you DON'T need.

****Breathe****And relax xxx

Its hard to know whether to intervene or not isn't it. I am sure everyone will cope though. I know that I have often made the wrong call when looking after my own kids let alone anyone elses! My main rule is to apologise to mine if I later realise that I could have done things differently or even (shock horror) I was the one in the wrong! Its tiring and stressful doing child care and maybe tomorrow everyone can move on...hope so anyway and nothing permanent is broken.

Hugs IMD

Well if I go with my gut, it's the kids and it's a discipline issue which I'm really upset about

IAP - will email you that spreadsheet this weekend, just need to tweak it a little and explain it to you. I do love it though, it calculates everything for you Anyone else??

OH put Mad Men on last night but I fell asleep, never watched it, is it too late to get into it - maybe I could catch up on it somewhere? Going to go to bed shortly with a cup of tea and a packet (yes a whole! one) and watch TV. Just dragged all my belongings down for a 4.30am start tomorrow :eek: Flying with Flybe as well, who are the scariest people as we fly in a propellor type aircraft - really not good for the nerves!

Wonder if chest pain is stress. Headache above my eyebrow as well - bizarre!

By the way, ebay going well, seem to be making about £25 a day and nearly repaid the original money I used to buy things so all good

Tee hee. I have been on one of those FlyBe flghts..I always assume I will be serving the drinks!

Can't beat you on early start tomorrow though - I will only be at the airport at 6am!

Have fun and don't spend too much at the airport outlets!!

That is GREAT news on Ebay, you really have worked hard and deserve the fruits of your labour. You will start to see that sig coming down rapidly soon.

I'm no doctor, but it wouldn't be a surprise if your chest pain was stress.
I've had it myself a few times and I just think "WHOA - chill out" Easier said than done I know.

Sorry to hear things are bad, just look forward to the weekend and next week. A long slow exhale will help relax you and reduce the stress.

Take care hun
