Have you let the Council know Hypno - surely you are due some Council Tax back and certainly a reduction in next years figure!

All sorted and refund for 2009/10 already in the bank. I don't hang about where possible

Yes, you would get 25% discount off your council tax as you are the only adult in the house assuming your teenage children are still under 18. Also, I dont know how it works but what about tax credits? Would you be eligible for this? may be worth looking into? Take care Hypno

Hope you can have a nice relaxing evening.
Tip in todays Daily Mail reguarding sleeping.
Soak your feet for 20 mins in water with lavander & rosemary in a foot bath.
for me that would be a basin with water in!
Worth a wee go?

hi hypno - it sounds like you have a plan of action again. I am glad that you are taking some time for you next week while the kids are away. Make sure you have some friends on standby in case you need some extra support....

When my 2 DS's vanish, food is cut by 2/3, when OH is away, he accounts for 2/3 of what's left, so mine is just 1/9 & OH would be 2/9's.

So your grocery bills should be a lot less, but your DS & DD do a lot of sports which burns calories, so they may be a larger percentage, but you should get a good drop in the grocery bill.

Hypno there was a pedometer on the freebie board a couple of days ago....see if I can find the link, might be ok for now...and its free

Well, another day survived.....won't be a NSD as I bought a sandwich at lunchtime,. so £2.50 down the pan, and am going out with the girls tonight - Zizzis....2 courses for £10 so not too bad but not free!

Had a chat with my boss today - I work in a very tough environment, but I work in one of those rare places that genuinely care for its staff. I am very lucky in that respect.

Also rang the Halifax and told them that I will be providing them with the money they need in order to get me a mortgage offer sorted sooner rather than later.....and in return got a provisional monthly payment figure to put in my SOA. I will be happier once it is sorted but it is a small step closer, even though I am ticking THEIR boxes more than I am mine :mad:

Hope you have all had a good day.

Hope you have a nice evening Hypno.
We dont have Zizzis up here AFAIK.
