DH's results are back finally - he's got a prolapsed disc in his neck. Referal to an orthopedic surgeon but no idea what's happening next - Dr was less than helpfull.

His company are understandably a bit offish about him being off for so long and informed him that full sick pay entitlement ends next week ......ouch! :eek: SSP will kick in but that's not a great deal of notice to drop to £79 per week.

Looks like it'll be beans on toast for a while then...maybe I could just feed the kids on alternate days? :rolleyes:

Ohhhh well done Luc!!! :T

Well done Luc!

Pooky, that's pants. I don't know how long it's been going on or likely to go on but maybe you should look into disability/illness benefits?

Yummy. Now there's a thought.
I have to nip down the church in a bit to practice for a sketch on Sunday. Was thinking about coming back via the chippy.
Feel the need for comfort food tonite - it's been a traumatic day.

My housemates are annoying me again - they've been away all last week - now back for 5 minutes and the house is gross again *sigh* I wish I could afford to live alone...

Pooky - What does your OH do? Prolapsed/slipped disc is a difficult one as they don't really know what causes it apart from injury, and they don't really know how to fix it completely either.

evening all

Ive had a lovely day, playpark, allotment and blackberry picking with DD today with a few jobs in between Nearly got blown away but it was worth it to be outside in the sunshine running along with not a care in the world...then came home to reality but hey can't have everything I guess

Fantastic Luc on the 2nd interview!
I am ebaying again tonight! Joy...not! but I am determined!

It was caused by a car accident back in April, just taken so ruddy long to get MRI and results - no one wanted to take him seriously. We will get the loss of wage back eventually but having a weeks notice that we're going to be dropping over £500 a week is a bit of a headspin.

Both sets of parents have stepped in with offers of help which is reassuring and fantastic of them.

I just want DH better :rolleyes: Horrible to see him so down.
