Debt free in ten years-my new, more realistic challenge.

Can you email the photos to at least some of the people? They can then print them out themselves if they want to and it will keep your costs down.

Hope all goes well with the hospital appointments Xx

Brilliant idea plmbl. I am busy downloading them now, then I will delete the rubbish ones I took and email some to people. I might put some on Facebook afterwards.

I am not worried about my appointment as it is purely routine but a little bit concerned about Mr P.

Mine went well, don't need to go back until next year

Mr P's is today. We bought a newspaper at the hospital and some fuel but otherwise we spent nothing.

I calculated our finances and we have about £80 now to last the month. We have a full freezer so should be okay and DS2 is paying his way by buying the groceries.

Mr P isn't ready to go back to work yet. His back is okay if he doesn't do anything heavy but I could see hime limping again after he lifted cases into the car last week. he is going to have to take things easy.

We are still paying DS2's rent £380 a month now. Money we could really do with to live on pay debts etc. He still has had nothing from his Housing benefit application. he has now been unemployed since October and had 3 weeks JSA then nothing as doctor signed him off sick. DSIL is going to pusue it on DS2's behalf as he works in the same building

Because of all the stress to do with DS1's visa etc we didn't continue pursuing DS2's applications.


And DS3 failed his medical on colour blindness!!!!!!!!! He has always passed before so now has to go back for more tests at opticians. looks like he might have to forgo his new job he is expecting to start next month. Hope they will continue to keep it open for him.........

There is always something ......................

Thank you mikeollington, I can't pretend it has been easy but we have certainly learned how to be resourceful. Your reminder of how we managed in the really hard times has given me encouragement to keep going and not be wasteful or squander what we have.

I miss working with young people but I get to meet lots of really lovely people who stay in our cottage/


I have at last got the go ahead to empty DA's belongings from the house. The probate valuation was done yesterday! Just three and a half months later

Mr P got on well at the hospital and doesn't need to be seen for 6 months. The appointment wasn't to do with his back.

ETA Yay:j:j:j:j:j DA's house has had a firm offer accepted on it during our absence :j:j:j:j:j:j

Blimey hope your DS gets things sorted out really soon.
