It doesn't really feel real yet. But it will sink in.

Beanie I am not going to look at flights. M,,, , r P and I are going to sit and work out a strategy for us both to work towards.

Mr P being unable to work has had a big impact on our day to day living so we still need to be frugal.

My PIP assessment is today. I know that so long as I am 100% honest I will get whatever I am entitled to. As my physical ability varies from day to day it makes it more complex to assess than previously on DLA.

Positive positive vibes for today.

It wasn't so bad beanie. I had a horrible experience a few years ago where the interviewer asked me to push myself to touch my toes and my back locked.I was months in agony. Today I realised it was the same woman. When she asked me to do things that were too painful I told her.

I was 100% honest. Mr P was with me. He helped when I forgot things. I failed the memory test! I found that very embarrassing.


We haven't been to visit our DD and family today as the other grandparents are there for a few days.

This evening I had extreme chest pain for around 45 minutes. I was scared but tried relaxation techniques etc. Just a full ache since. A very strange experience. I think it was maybe just caused by stress. Mr P says it is wind :rotfl:

Tomorrow I have two ladies coming to clean the cottage and to do the ironing. We have a quiet week. Mr P and DS2 are going to do some maintenance before we get busy again. Nothing major just some minor things to make it like new again

Today I spent on fish and chips. A special treat as we hadn't had them in nearly a year.

DS2 went out for an hour this evening. I was a little worried about him yesterday as he didn't emerge at all. Today he was planning to meet his best friend tomorrow so all sounding positive.He was also planning changes to my kitchen to make it easier for me to manage.:)

Glad the assessment went ok. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome. Not so good with the chest pains though. Take care you Xx

I had to remember three words. I could only remember two 😊

I had hand, arm ,leg movement and reading text tests too
But majority of it was me answering questions. When i had to do movements she said I shouldn't hurt myself so to stop when it was painful. I wondered if she remembered me and the terrible state I was in last time.
