    Well we were called in to the hospital today so £2.20 spent on parking there and now definitely going to have to get petrol. OH is going in for the biopsy next week, there's alot more to it then we thought but he's going to be in hospital for 3 - 4 days then will need 2 weeks off work afterwards. Now panicking about money as he's already had alot of time off over the last year because of all this and not sure if work will continue to pay him as they already paid him full pay for the whole time he was off when they only pay for 28 days in general. If they don't pay him then things are going to be tough, especially as I'll have to take unpaid leave as well to drive him down to Birmingham for his treatment there.

    SSP is a pittance as well. It really annoys me that we should have to be worrying about money when he's ill, we're hard working people that pay our tax and NI yet SSP is only £79.15 a week, there's no way we'll be able to get by for long on that kind of money.

    Gah! whinge over

    Whinge away Losingpatience, you have every right!!!!!
    So sorry to hear about your OH, you are both in my thoughts...

  • :T Hurrah! Managed a NSD yesterday, and another today, so that brings my total to 7!!!

    While I do feel excellent about the NSD, I'm still a bit stressed about my debt. I had a load of foreseen and unforeseen spendy days last week, and while I'm back on track now, I'm kicking myself for falling slightly off the wagon. :o

    Thinking about you and your OH Losingpatience. You are totally right that you shouldn't have to worry about finances at a time like this. in some ways this country gets things right, like the NHS and healthcare for all (in theory) and in other ways it is so wrong. I hope the results are as good as they possibly can be x

    Spoony - after thinking, and the card payment was for a bill which don't get counted, I am going to call today a NSD. So that's me up to 11. I did also take a couple of bits back to store today too so a bit more credit back. Pay day later this week so hopefully a NSD tomorrow too.... fingers crossed!

    Today was number 10 for me, yay! Just one more to go, but it's gonna be a tough one I think as I've got a lot on for the rest of the month. Good luck everyone!
