    Today:
    - Clean pigs
    - Clip dog's claws
    - Make list for stuff I need to pack
    - Get washing up to date
    - Check online banking
    - Make some payments

    - Send another email to council and cc my councilor (no news)

    Tomorrow:
    - Pack
    - Make space in garage as not to have to leave car 5 mins walk away and instead can lock in garage (even that my car will disappear tomorrow for ever ;))
    - Call car insurance company to make sure new insurance has started and to add BF as named driver
    - Empty car from all [STRIKE]rubbish[/STRIKE] unnecessary stuff

    Didn't quite manage to do everything but very pleased with myself. No news from the council but I am so going to be a nuisance until this situation has been solved.

    Off I go now so back on Sunday evening. :hello:

    Hello,

    I am down with a cold. Completely the wrong time to be ill as I have really busy one and a half weeks ahead of me. I am doing overtime before taking half term off and I got my first leaflet drop delivered today so I need to squeeze that in there somewhere.

    I will be on a course this weekend and DD will be with friends. Luckily course is nearish BF so no need to book B&B and can also spend some time with him. :j

    Tasks for this week:
    - Washing up to date (again!!!)
    - List of what needs to be packed for DD for the weekend
    - List of what I need to pack for myself for the weekend
    - Cash flow to the end of the month
    - Pay as much rent as possible
    - Deliver leaflets
    - Bath dog and clip claws
    - Move dog walking money to ISA
    - Fill forms online to take ex to court
    - Send letter to ex to stop him contacting us again (not that he will listen)
    - Keep harassing council
    - Get at least one thing done from the master list
    "Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

  • Keep yourself well with a cold - and try to get 'some' rest - I usually boost self with vit c - lidls do good fizzy vit c tablets for about £1 if you have time to get any.

    Glad things going great with BF - sorry to hear about Ex being a pain.

    xx hugs

    Hello,

    I was really tired yesterday and didn't manage to get anything done. Today the aim is to get most things on my list sorted.

    Bailiffs sent me a letter saying that now I owe them £200.-. I wonder where that £430 came from. Just shows what a bunch of idiots they are. But I did also get an email from council saying that they are investigating and that all bailiff action is on hold.

    I am in a middle of washing hokey cokey so better finish my cup of tea and get on with it.
