    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Afternoon all

    Have had a lovely morning, although an early start!
    Took B to swimming and obnly 3 in her class today which was excellent as more one on one than normal
    Then Piano lesson,
    Run along the beach and then stopped at cafe for a quick drink and sat outside in the sunshine...it was beautiful
    Home and now B is playing happily with Nanny and I can have 5 mins quiet.

    Oh has sulked upstairs all day...best place for him when he's like it.

    I pretty sure I have discovered today that OH's job seekers claim is incorrect as just had a read of it and it states that I/he has no dependant children. From a quick look on the net it states that you should need £50 odd for each child plus the £100 odd for a couple by law to live on. On my current hours I earn under this and therefore for the last 2 months he SHOULD have been getting JSA. Talk about being mad if they have calculated it wrong
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    Sounds like a nice day so far Sally - hope you manage to get the JSA sorted out.

    I downloaded Iplayer onto the Wii so DD2 is snuggled up to DH whilst they watch all manner of stuff.

    I'm here intermittently (between washing, cleaning etc)

    I just put the heating back on much to Dennis' delight, but at least I'm using the heaters to dry clothes which means no tumble dryer use!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
