    Where has this week gone, can't believe it's Monday tomorrow.

    Have been out with my friend today, we ended up at Mudder's fave place :rotfl: I got a beanbag rest for my shiny Laptop which will stop either my back aching or my legs getting toasted!

    Also got a birthday present and did some more research into beds for Miss A.

    I did list a couple more things on ebay this morning before I went out.

    Hope everyone has had a good day.

    The children's father visited today, I left the house. He still hasn't got anywhere to live. Told me he has put deposit on a rented house in next village, and has stopped paying all the bills for our house. And to cap it off I get less tax credit now he has walked out on me and the kids than when he paid everything ? how does that work ? Sorry for ranting!!! Ate 3 chocolate bars and 3 packets of crisps today...sw tomorrow what a laugh that will be.

    Is it because you get housing benefit and don't have to fork out rent and council tax?

    Ring them and make sure they have the correct figures.. they once missed the decimal point on our claim so instead of KH earning £28,000 a year they had it down as £2,800,000 ... so I got a letter saying we were getting nothing! .. easy sorted.. best to make sure.. if you get DLA for any of te children make sure they know because there is an extra premium for that and children in college (up to 20 but not in uni) .. though I get £5 a week for DS1... he costs more than that in nappies for Jacob!

    Off to do you's all a list before I crawl in my nest..

    Done and sorted...

    Off to put Squeaks washing in the TD.. and hang her cardies on the radiator.. and reload the machines with towels.. I want them hung out tomorrow.

    Tesco list for tomorrow done
    Need to ring my uncle to come change the lock on the front door as it cannot be opened from the outside which is great.. I don't lock it if I'm in (apart from night time of course) may just swap it with the one from the back door for now and get more keys cut as I only have the one. At least we'll be functional until I get money together for a new one.
