You really need your weekend, it will b grand!
Im on a tenners worthof shopping this week, haha.Trying to shift that debt!0 -
Evening. Well I was determined not to moan or be grumpy but hey that was a big ask :rotfl:Some Sh*t has hacked into my DS's account for his x-box live and downloaded £42.50 worth of microsoft points for FIFA 12 :mad:. My accounts were just not adding up this week and I couldnt understand why. I do now. Poor DS is feeling really guilty about it but its some thieving ratbag thats to blame and not him. Anyways I will sort it tomorrow hopefully and cancel his account and get my bank details off of it.
So my shopping budget is now even less than it was :rotfl:. Oh well I have bargained my part of the food bill fro Saturday down to £0 as I am baking the puddings and I will buy the ingredients for home made ice cream. The bowl for the ice cream maker is in the freezer right now. I am making tablet too so I will make tablet ice cream. Nom nom

Good Morning . What an up and down few days I have had.
Docs thought my mum had a blood clot so I spent Thursday evening in the local hospital with her. They gave her an injection to try and sort it out and later at night this started a nose bleed. In the past we nearly lost mum through a nose bleed as she lost so much blood her heart was struggling, so obviously this was a bit of a worry. My brother had to call an ambulance and they got the bleeding stopped and left her at home. I had said to her that I would go in on Friday morning and get her up etc before her carer arrived. I have never done this before so I dunno what made me say I would do it then. On Friday morning I was shaking opening the door as I had a horrible feeling I was going to find her dead in her bed. Thank god I didn't but when I got in she was really poorly and still bleeding. I called the ambulance and off we went to the hospital. We were there all day but at least she got a scan and they cannot find any clots so that is good news.
On the Saturday I met my friends at lunchtime in the cottage we were staying in and we had a total blast. There was a hot tub and it was just great. We chatted and drank wine all day. So as you can imagine, the whole world was put to rights and all was well :rotfl:. My friend and I then cooked steaks for dinner and we had a very drunken evening. It was just what the doctor ordered. I hardly ever drink so it was a thoroughly good night for me and I was more sensible than some others and kept my drinking to a manageable level :rotfl:. Came home yesterday and gutted my lounge as it looked minging in comparison to where I had been.
My internet has been terrible and I had to buy a new router. Thankfully it is now running fabulously well. So you will no doubt be seeing more of me.
i AM MEGA SKINT ( WHATS NEW?). I need £63 into my account to just be able to pay my bills this month. I am due £77 per week from CSA but surprise, surprise there is no sign of it yet :mad:. What a boost to my finances that would be. Never mind, what will be will be.
My sister in laws birthday is next week so I need to try and get some cash together for that and get her a gift. She loves pampering products so I will get something along those lines.
Anyways , the ironing board seems to have my name on it so I will get my butt in gear and get that sorted out now. Catch you later. I hope everyone is well. x5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Am good thanks, am glad you have had a fab weekend but your poor mam. She would be lost without you. xTrying to shift that debt!0

Aye she would be but I am here for however long she needs me. Sometimes I do things for her with a heavy heart as I am so busy with other things but then I just need to see how dependant she is on me and I knock some sense into myself. I'm sure anyone who is a carer and especially working carers will know where I am coming from.
I woke up today in an amazingly positive frame of mind and I am going to spend the afternoon in my kitchen clearing out the cupboards. Anything that is chipped or broken is being tossed out and anything I do not use will go into the car boot pile in the shed. My cupboards are choc a bloc and if I clear them then I can get them sorted out a bit more.
I am cooking shepherds pie for dinner and I will take that into my mum's and feed DS, mum and I with it. DD is coming home today. She has been at Alton Towers with her bf's family since Saturday and I have missed her horrendously. I dread the day my kids leave home. Hopefully a few years yet.
So I will get tore into the cleaning now and sort out another room in this hovel of mine. Catch you later xx

Hey we cant all go into everything like Snow white did. She was on something, must have been those dwarves.
Hope the cleaning goes well xxTrying to shift that debt!0 -
Yes I reckon full strength prozac with some ecstacy thrown in for good measure
.
Well looks like my bar steward of an ex hasn't paid anything to the CSA. Quelle surprise.............NOT. I called the CSA and I am waiting on my case worker phoning me to see about 'chasing the opayment up' which pretty much tells me that they havent got it yet. Well they had better just put a wages arrestment on him as I am thoroughly fed up with this.
I'm away skip diving with DS as he wants to build computers from scratch and our skip has millions of them so that seems a good place to start. I dread to think what his room will be like soon :rotfl:.
Am away now to deliver my friends birthday card, get petrol , go to skip then go and feed my mum. I will finish kitchen wehn I come back. I cant believe how many spices I had that went out of dat in 20075 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60
