    Hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to catching up on the latest news when I get time.

    Many thanks

    Evening all

    Am so sorely tempted today :( Yet more dealings with CSA regarding OH's kids. They now have backdated the assessment and have landed him with a large arrears bill. Hardly fair as he has always paid what they'e told him to pay. He is very down, and so am I. S'pose the good thing is that we quite simply can't afford wine now.:o

    Trying to be positive. Going to do some mad ebaying tonight to raise some money as I have next week off to spend half term with Piglet and would like to be able to do a few things with him. Mum and Dad have donated a couple of things which should raise a little bit, bless them.

    Speaking of Piglet, he's a lot better today, although he has a chesty cough. Hopefully ok for school tomorrow. Hate to see him poorly so good to see him on the mend.:T:)

    EDIT sorry, just re-read it and sounded really morose! I'm ok really, these things are sent to try us!!
