    :hello: Kel
    I remembered to drop in today :D

    I've not done many DFW things today but I've sorted clothes in the bedroom and listed a few bits on ebay :) Anything I get will go towards a CC

    I'm a newbie - just joined and started a diary! Which is my first DFW action of the day. Other than that I charged my phone at work instead of at home and managed to spend only 54p on a tin of soup for lunch which I heated up at work instead of buying an expensive sandwich meal deal. Feeling really positive!

    sw did you see m post to u the other week?50% of ppl win a DLA appeal. Did you get support from an organisation to complete? I can give you some advice if you want to pm me?
    We didn't bother claiming DLA when DH first fell ill as the claim form was so daunting. Two years on, he's so much better that he wouldn't be entitled to it now. Our GP is now suggesting a slow return to light work which is good news, but in the meanwhile he claims ESA.

    It's the move from contribution based ESA to income based ESA that we have been misinformed about. It'll be more phone calls to DWP tomorrow and try to get an appointment with the CAB for advice. They have been really helpful in the past, but it's so difficult to get an appointment with them.

    I'm going down to the allotment tomorrow for some digging as that always soothes my frazzled nerves!

  • Hi all....

    Although I'm a newbie on here I just wanted to say hugs to anyone having a rough time at the moment - I can't say I know how you're feeling but I know what it's like when you get to the edge! A good cry is good for everyone at some point - I like to do it once a month! ;-)

    Stitching Witch - I have about 12/15 chickens and 2 cockerels! Hens are the best ever we're getting about 12 eggs a day at the moment which are being gratefully accepted by friends and family! Good luck with the businees too and don't give up on it it sounds like you have a real talent.

    Ok...my list for today was

    1. NSD - :D
    2. Voted - lets see what happens tonight eh? - :D
    3. Finally paid cash thats been burning a hole in my bag off my cc - :D
    4. Gave bag of old stuff to hospice shop - :D
    5. Sold ebay item for £12.80 and messages and watchers on the next - woohooo!! :D

    See you all later....will we have a new/same/bit of all three government tomorro I wonder?...... xxxx

    Sorry to hear that some of you are having such a hard time :(

    DNMS - My eldest DD was a nightmare when she was young as well, but it all gets sorted out over time, honestly. You do have my particular sympathy, as I remember those desperate, helpless feelings so well, even now :eek:

    Not that I do not sympathise with other posters who are having a hard time of course - just that this one strikes a particular chord!

    Today I have:

    All HM meals from stores

    Not NSD as had to buy petrol :(

    Been to work :(

    Seen to animals and plants

    Made scones before work :eek: Use some elderly HM yogurt - makes the best ever scones :D

    Embarrassingly short list today :o

    Good night :j
