vanilla

OHHH what a morning so far, hubby has applied for loads of loans and so far he's paid £167 out in admin fees. I'm so flipping cross, i knew he took one out with payday uk which needs to be paid next week. Now he's down £167 and won't have enough to cover him for the payday loan. Ohhh boy am i mad....:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Now i'm gonna have to spend today sorting this mess out and he could have applied for so many more. Grrrrrrr i'll have to go through each one of his emails, he's over 1000 all from loan places.

Only flying so far is the dw...:(

Sounds to me, Vanilla, that he's heading towards needing another admission, sweetie . You did mention that he had stopped taking his meds, was talking about taking a job when he wasn't ready, etc, etc, in previous threads, after all. Have you looked at the MSE debt and mental health feature on the site?

Well, I have done no more than fill a bin bag, avoid comatose cats strewn across the cool leather sofa, the cool laminate floor and on the thick, super warm rug in direct sunshine beaming through the window, puffing and panting because he's too hot (and people wonder why I call him stoooopid ) and make a biomechanics appointment. Could there actually be a prospect of not having severe plantar fasciitis pain for the first time in 5 years????? :J

Going to have a shower and then go and get my manicure. Feel all extravagant doing it Film starry, even . Even if they'll still be no longer than my fingertips (no extensions or overlays here) so I can still play.

QOTD

:j Woohoo I'm nearly there. All the cleaning has been done and the house - yes the whole house - is nice and tidy. At least for the moment:o

I've another load in the WM since it doesn't look like it is going to rain even though the forecast looked like it was, so I should be able to get it on the line. If not it will just have to go on the airer.

Just sitting with a cup of tea now, will make lunch next and DD is excited because I've said we can go to the park. On the way back I can pick up some pancetta as need it for the tart I need to make.

Just got to sort out the grocery list and make this tart and it's time to relax.

welcome to all the new people this week - I am sure you will find it very helpful and supportive being here

vanilla (((hugs))) what a mess for you - I hope you can cancel them before they all start - maybe worth speaking to the bank.

greenbee make sure you are resting - great chance to catch up on your reading

lil_me hope the toothache has gone

CY oh what a shame on his first holiday - hope its all ok from now on
MrsChaos - looks like you are on a roll again - well done
gilly (((hugs))) not an easy time but I hope it works out the way you want it.

been at the hospital all morning so only done 1 x WM

MrsChaos

Huge hugs, vanilla. You really have too much to cope with sometimes.

The LR now has some tidy and hoovered bits and I've cleared clutter of a chair. Other bits done in the DR and upstairs stuff is gradually moving back upstairs. No rain forecast for tonight, so I'll carry on with the laundry. Another HHC before lunch, I think. OH has gone for tests, but has been told that the results will take a day or two (after the nurse said yesterday it would take 2 hours for the results to come back ).

Another HHC or so before lunch, I think, and then I'll need to spend some time with DS2. Not sure what we'll do.
My second cup of peppermint tea is brewing, too. I leave it to cool before I drink it, so it's nice and refreshing.

ETA Nice to see you posting, toots. Hope your morning at the hospital went well.

Ohhhh - I feel for you - I had pf on and off (mainly on!) for around 7 years - mine finally went when I was pg with DS3 - they said teh hormones helped somehow - heck of a way to get relief from it though!! :rotfl::rotfl:

dont think im going to get much done today at all just coz im in such a mood after that phone call this morning.

im going to distract myself with the kids, might pop to the park before i go up to my mums for a cuppa then ive a mate coming round tonight so we can discuss her totally disasterous train-wreck of a love life lol.

i need to make a date with my mum to watch DS2 while i take DS1 to the cinema to see Cars 2! i think im almost more excited than he is! this will be his first trip to the cinema!

im also on the hunt for a pair of shorts that DS1 can use for gym at school coz the ones he has are either too dressy or way to scruffy lol. £17 for a pair of shorts for a 5 year old :eek: the hunt shall contunie for a bit longer. ive got new plimsoles for both the boys and a painting apron which i had totally forgotten about till i saw them in the shop :T
