Woken up this morning feeling tired. Tossed and turned all night. KH phoned DD last night and asked her if she wants to go and live with them. She said she might do when she leaves school next year! I dont know how I feel about that but if she wants to go then I cant stop her. On the plus side my house wouldnt get trashed when she was on 1 and the boys wouldnt have to listen to her !!!!!! or the arguments or the boom boom boom coming from her room. The downside to this is I would probably have to find somewhere cheaper to live. my rent is £650 a month for a 3 bed house. DS 19 has left college so i no longer get any money for him then if she leaves I wont get money for her (and will probably end up paying maintenance!) so that leaves 1 child I would receive benefits for, so I either need to learn some new skills so I can up my income, win the lottery or find a sugar daddy lol
Anyway today is another day and I have been looking at OU courses. I fancy doing bookkeeping and accounts so will look into it. I would of preferred to do a college course but as most of the courses are in the evening this is not an option as I would have to carry on working.
Re the smoking, ive slapped on a patch and so far so good.

Hey lovie, dont beat yourself up over the cigs today is another day, baby steps and all that. And you only had 7 not a whole packet.
DS will probably change her mind anyway. Maybe once you find out what is happening you may qualify for rent assistance or something so wont have to move.

In my frustration ive been and bought some paint!!! When I say paint I mean enough to paint the whole house!!! Every where will be magnolia and I will spruce it up with colourful furnishings. LL wont let me have wall paper or funky colours so it was either magnolia or cream and with my kids I didnt think cream would be a good idea! Anyway im off to mask the walls. Have a good day everyone.Sealed Pot Challenge member #982
