I'm stressed, littley informed me today that her Thurston trip with the school had to be paid for by Friday :eek: £105. double :eek::eek: mucho money shuffling and OH texting so he can pay half of it, sorted now i think but it's sent me into a whirlwind of panic that I can't shake off, tax return has to be done and the accounts first :eek: need to find £200 for new suite, need to find £100 for Monday for littleys birthday party, need to sort council tax single persons allowance out, need £70 for catalogue payments too all this week, and I aint got it! :eek::eek::eek::eek: somebody slap me and tell me to pull myself together pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.

Peeled the spuds for tea, and milked the mince & onion pie and shoved it in the oven, tidied up littleys and teenies detrious that they always come in from school/college with. Got a meeting with the council at 6.30 tonight with regards to the house internal/external works, hope it proves fruitful but somehow I doubt it, I still have a bee in my bonnet about it not making any difference to the internal works and they could still have gone ahead with internal works anyway! :mad: I will have my say!

Wish I was a drinker cos I'd be hitting the bottle right about now.

Yep, Toots I have three men sitting watching Tv again today. Driving me bonkers until I read to think of them as visitors. Two of them are!
They just asked me if I have anything better to do?

I am off to do more cleaning in the kitchen and diner and will get them to move stuff as necessary. Not because they asked me but because I need to be doing something constructive. IYKWIM.

Do you have a local Educational Trust you can claim some help from for school trip? There are a lot about. If you ring your council they should be able to point you in the right direction.
Sorry I can't help with others. We are in same state this month and I need to find tax money by 31st Jan. Hugs

Educational Trust Fund not as I wrote above.
