    Well done on the holiday pot!  I'm amazed at how much you achieve.

    Morning

    Done my daily transfer sent £1.15 towards the holiday pot only £20.83 towards my target

    Surviving on 4 hours sleep at 9pm got a call from my friend asking me to take her son to hospital as someone has beat him up and smashed his face in quite literally spent 2.5 hours in the car park he phones to let us know his eye socket and cheek bone are smashed and to go home.  So I give the A&E department £20 to get a taxi home as my friend was skint.  Just as we got home he phones to say hes been discharged.....typical.  At this point Abbie and BF were heading back to BF's so they offered to go pick him up and bring him home.  Told them to just go straight to BF's after dropping my sons boy off at home.

    30 minutes later we get a phone call from Abbie asking her dad to come and get her as a deer had ran out out in front of the car and there was nothing they could do to avoid it, I swear to god I think my daughter has a guardian angel looking after her.  daddy flies out the door and gets to them in quick time, he reckons the car is a write off and he had to pull the deer out from under the car poor wee soul.  Abbie was so upset about the deer dying but her dad  says it was either the deer or them, so grateful they are ok.  Cars can be replaced lives can't. 

    Hubby eventually gets in at 2 in the morning and we were up for 6am for hubby starting back to work he will be shattered, however my washing machine is now on it's 3rd load and i grabbed a shower before I started work wee one having his breakfast so thought i would jump on to do my banking.

    This is where I think i should be drinking coffee so i can get a boost
