    Who knew meat could make me so happy :rotfl: my DR order arrived and I now have lots of mince and burgers in my freezer . . . shame I dont eat either :rotfl: was all vey prettily packaged though, I spent a good 10 minutes exclaiming over it with Miss Lily, who was equally impressed with the pretty paper wrapping our food :D:D

    On sadder news, Jake has had his placement through for secondary school and its not the one I want :( have put my appeal in but not sure i'll be successful as im not sure they will count my reasons as necessary (though I think they are) but all I can do is try :(

    Hello all,

    Sneaking on the middle of the day to say brain has just officially fried. Well got myself into a massive tizz about money then realised I was trying to double count stuff. So taken a step back. Balanced up the books and now left with too much money sat in my account! Go figure!

    Week isn't getting better. I too was in tears! think all this debt busting is getting too much on top. Was in tears over a work thing, plus all this weeks stress melt down!

    While I'm sat here stressing and getting the green eyed monster at a very glam woman at work she is threatened by me! Lol! Anyway put me in an uncomfortable situation with work but getting on with it!

    Feeling better for 9 hours sleep last night so not going to push the boat out too much today otherwise I might go overboard again!

    :rotfl: I know. I couldn't wait to get home yesterday to see my DR order...more for the packaging than the mince :rotfl: My mum and sister were both equally impressed. I thought about putting the dry ice bags on the floor and getting just dance out on the Wii :dance: it would have been like a pop video lol There wasn't quite enough mist being generated through!

    I hope your appeal is backed. Good luck :)

    I was in a meeting today with all the managers on site but it wasn't particularly relevant for me as most of it was operational so I could add very little input.

    What did you think I meant???

    Don't worry - I had presumed it was something like that ;)

    Another small update:

    #177 £582.25/£4,886.18

    Not sure if this might be my last as my son's medical for esa is next week and If his benefits are stopped we'll be up that creek again without a paddle while we go through the appeals route again for a year! Not looking forward to it one little bit! It always seems to be the same, just when you think you're getting things sorted the powers that be jump up and block your path. :mad: Ho hum, more sawdust and imagination sandwiches :o

    Fantastic February total, go us!:beer:

    What is it with the tears, me too! Maybe March will bring better things for us all. Hasn't started well though. Was really looking forward to paying off a little bit more (it's like a drug isn't it!) but the money husband was expecting to be paid for extra hours didn't come through! The invoice was left on someone's desk and never got actioned. So he'll be paid it next fri instead but until then we've loads of direct debits coming out.:eek: At least I've already done the food shop.

    Loveday, hope it goes ok.

    Thanks, we all seem to be having a rough time of it lately don't we? My fingers are crossed for all of us to have a much better month ahead.
