Thanks Hypno.

lol!!!

Hypno came and fetchedme from my addiction to fb games!!

Well, not just been on facebook, but have ben doing MAJOR decluter and clean in my house. So far 2 wheelie bins full of rubbish + more for the recylcing bins! Also 2 lots of toys in wheelie bin liners that have been given away and more stuff too. Clothes, shoes etc. I haven't been very DFW with some of the stuff that's gone as I *could* have done a car boot but I had nowhere to store stuff and also formy mental health I needed to clear. Only done downstairs, and it's not finished yet, but getting there. I haven't done anything today due to really bad neck and upper pain pain and then really bad side effects from some heavy duty painkillers. Back to it tomorrow.

I did swap overmy computer to a new tower that my mum gave me - an old one from her office and I've taken my old knackered one into a computer shop and they're going to give me some money for that, not sure howmuch but it's free money to me and I'm going to put it to the barclaycard no matter how small it is!

Financially not great, but good enough and also getting somemuch needed items for the house - like lino in the toilet and bathroom - going to price up next weekend, should be an ok price I hope! The carpet is minging and with William now standing to wee I need something I can mop with a little bleach in the water!!

Mentally, I'm ok - finding work overwhelming, despite having a dayand a half of due to snow- examining whether it'sfinancially possible to go part time from september - not great for dfw, but it's one life only and the kids are growing so quickly, I want to be more with it for these precious years.

I hope you are all well!

Love Sea xxxxx

I agree with the decluttering - do whatever is needed for your mental wellbeing, and if that means chucking it instead of selling it, then sometimes that is what you have to do!

Also, what harm is there in looking at part time? You can do the sums, work it all out, and then decide on whether it is workable for whatever reason......certainly worth considering, and as you say only one life!

Sorry to read about your neck and back - I hope they ease soon xx

If you could go part time that would be great.
As you say they are only little for such a short time.
If you did it is likely that your tax credits may increase.
Take care.

Very true about the tax credits - will work it all out soon.

The de-cluttering bug really has hit hard - very strange - never been this strong!! I've also bought storage boxes - plastic ones with lids as bloody cats have been pooing in toys (well, anywhere that has a bit of material)- so cleaned all toys too!! Also pricing up a door that i can put as my back door so that I can then install cat flaps - the current one has glass panels on the bottom so can't put the cat flap in. Should endup being about £40 with cat flaps - can't moan!

Head still spinning a little from the pain killers but at least the awful itchy and swollen scalp has eased!!!

Love your avatar Hypno

I think it is new year, new decade, new SPACE!!!!!

£40 would be well spent if it stops cats crapping in the toybox!!

beanielou

You can get cat flaps to fit into glass but I guess you have looked into that.

Sea78

no, of course I haven't - this is me we're talking about!!!! lol - how is that done and is it expensive?

indeed!! But the cats already have a litter tray and an open window to go through - but once they've been once in the tray that's it it seems. However, since I've cleaned SO well and also cleared the area fully they've not done it since. Back to the bath then.
