    I hope it eases soon. They really are awful things.
    Look how much that holiday fund has increased. Wow! 
    Bit worried about Muppets on the pay off your bills thread. Nothing from them since march. Hope they're ok too. X

    Hope they can get to the bottom of it really soon.
    Could it be stress related?

    Sorry to hear about Abbie - I hope they get to the bottom of it soon for you and for her. It's so nice to hear that her work is supportive and understanding. I think that's really rare these days. I hope she's on the mend and back to it soon. 

    Also fingers crossed for your college payment. Every little helps.

    She seems to be improving every day tummy still a bit sore but she's going to work today so its going in the right direction.

    transferred money over to the holiday fund we are over another hundred bracket........£704.59 to be exact 

    need to phone avon and request my commission better in my bank than theirs.  also still waiting on my £25 from another survey site so potentially another £100 could be hitting the savings account.  PA is also increasing again since I cashed out last week i have £4.84 confirmed and £3.87 pending so it's all good.

    I'm working today then I need to pick up Abbie from work so will get some bits at her work before she's due to finish so I can use her discount card then lidls for bread and milk as we are nearly out.

    Also need to start compiling the food delivery list for this week for the food larder now that the volunteers who have done the phone calls and gave me their results.  will do that when wee one is having lunch.

    also need to try and fit a workout in, my gym is giving away a free t-shirt if you do 10 days out of 14 days exercise but you have to prove it either with a sweaty picture or the results from my Fitbit.  Today will be day 7 deadline is Sunday to get the other 3 days in.

    Still no word from the college I might send them a email to see if they have came to a decision regarding payment of the last invoice tomorrow.

    I've started to get organised for Abbie's 18th birthday party in our back garden..............OMG I'm not old enough to have a 18 year old I'm only 37 for gods sake.  so far I've got:

    PHOTO BIRTHDAY BUNTING
    STREAMERS IN BLACK AND PURPLE
    TABLE COVER
    ORGANSISED A BALLOON ARCH AND TABLE CENTREPIECE FROM A FRIEND
    PAPER CUPS AND PLATES AND NAPKINS
    A 18TH SIGN WE CAN SIGN
    RUDE BALLOONS - THEY ARE HILARIOUS
    FIREWORK CANDLES
    PHOTO PROPS FOR THE INSTAGRAM FRAME

    Still to get:
    PERSONALISED PHOTO BANNERS FOR OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE WITH BABY PICTURES ON THEM -  EBAY
    18TH CONFETTI FOR TABLE - EBAY
    WEIGHTED 18TH SPRAYS - EBAY
    INSTAGRAM FRAME - EBAY

    She wants a cake from Costco so we need to order that nearer the time and we are hopefully ordering the food from Morrisons who do party food
    Hubby wants a gazebo, seen one in the range need to take him to see it tho
    I've got her Lilo and Stitch hoodie in my room
    The boys are getting her Lilo and Stitch pop figures which I've already ordered
    We are getting her a laptop as she'll need it for music college in August
    I'm bidding on a Friends monopoly game on ebay for her
    There are a couple of other bits but the thing I'm most excited abut is you can pay on a site called Cameo where actors, singers etc leave you personal messages.  I've found the guy who did Bear in the Big Blue House, £30 for a personalised message, she'll pee her pants and also the guy who plays Lucifer in Supernatural is on that too so might get that for her as well.

    I want this birthday to be a day to remember and I'm so excited for her birthday can you tell

    Glad Abbie is getting better, certainly a good sign if she feels well enough to go to work.  Sounds like you're going to give her a fabulous 18th. You had her young didn't you, no wonder you don't feel old enough to have an 18 year old 🤣 If she takes after you, the next thing you know you'll be a grandma 🤣 I can't believe my DD is 33, how did she get that old (and she's still living at home!!)

    nope no happening she is on birth control thank god not ready to be a gran nope nope nope nope don't do as i do she's got plenty of time to play mummies.

    got married at 18 to childhood sweatheart and Abbie came along a year later......wouldn't advise it to anyone, getting married at that age.  But i loved being a young mum when i had abbie, when i had KK i was 30 and found it really hard.

    I was 24 when I had DS and 26 when I had DD. Seems so young now but didn’t at the time. They seem to be starting families older these days so no need for alarm on the granny front 🤣
