Work tomorrow & need to go to Costco on the way home. Then 6th form open evening with DS1 at 7pm. Not sure what we will eat. Don't want to buy a take-away as money is tight and DH's car needs 3 new tyres at £126 each:( Ooh just remembered Costco's cooked chickens are reduced to £2.99 - can get one of them and some chips on the way home. Quick dinner sorted:D

I don't want to moveI've lived here for 16 years! I'm just hoping that now they have a boy and a girl and we're only 2 bed that they'll move.
But I do worry that it might be a case of better the devil you know
I might have a word with the GP anyway just so it's on record. It does add to my depression, especially as the XH had a drug problem that lead to the violence0 -
