Big hugs on the DH front, hope he has calmed down now and realises how silly he was.

June 14th is a great day to get married! (It's my wedding anniversary ). I will have to try to remember yours.

Good news on the furniture/linen/jewellery sales Xx

We have two weddings on 14th June

DS3 is going to his friends and we are going to the family wedding.

Mr P is still in a mood. But it has a positive. He is sorting out the shed and all the tools which had collected in our back porch are, at last, being put away I made him a coffee and crept back inside. I think he has stopped taking one of his meds.

Soon I will be able to get to an old cast iron radiator to take a photo and pop it on ebay.

Yesterday was another NSD. I will spend £1 today at knit and natter. Hopefully nothing more.

I put my pounds for the crafty afternoon in a money bag on a day when I am spending - therefore to me it don't count (unless I spend something else).

How long has the HB debacle been going on now :mad:

Thanks folks, nice to be back.

DS2 has been given an old car but the head gasket has gone so he is going to see if he can replace it himself. It has got him out of bed at last which is absolutely wonderful My theory is that everyone needs a purpose. He has one again. It is early days for him so we will take things gently.

And if he has a car he can get out and hopefully find a job again. He never received a penny after doctor signed him off sick and his job seekers was stopped. And being depressed made it very difficult for him to deal with people.

Mr P is not so good. He has up and down days. Not being able to work has taken it's toll on him. He has shoulder problems now as well as back. The GP has given him extra strong anti inflammatory medication to take. Fingers crossed he picks up again soon. His work partner has retired. He is 65 so deserves to be allowed to do so. Mr P is missing him too.

DS1 is very happily married and has a job. Downside there is that his lovely new wife has been very ill and been in hospital twice in the last two months. Whatever it is they haven't found out yet so we keep praying for her.

DS3 is away working on a cruise ship and is happy too. Cruising the Med I can't wait until he invites his mum to stay.

I have been working away at our budget. I have started using YNAB and all seems to be working quite smoothly. It helps to be able to see where every penny is allocated.

All our joint debts are now paid off except mortgages and business debts. Mr P has £1450 still owing on a credit card. They have given him 0% interest until he is back at work. If he doesn't manage to go back to work for a while we can still survive, now we don't have so many mouths to feed etc.

DS2 actually made some headway with Housing Benefit claim today so hopefully he will get some backdated. We and DD have paid the last few months but can't help him next month.

Well done for being so positive. Keep it up
