    well Tuesday again eh, not much report, busy weekend at work. Feeling quite down in dumps today, my ds is almost 18 months and still not walking unaided, he will with my finger or walker but not alone, he's getting referred to physio as he appears very hypermobile (his sister was very bendy too) he just never gets a break, he's a sensitive wee soul and had awful outbreaks of eczema whenever he has cold or is teething etc and since x-mas he's also had ear infection. Anyway I'm gonna get over it as he's a happy, handsome, cheeky, social wee man who chats up a storm for his age and they can't be good at everything.

    Ahhh, he sounds lovely. I guess if he's happy and cheeky then it's not bothering him so hopefully that'll help you feel better.

    How are you feeling now? I've not been around on here much as had a stomach issue at the beginning of the week then was maniacally trying to catch up on work! All up to date now I hope.

    I guess part of this process is having the lows as well as the highs otherwise we'd still get bored. Just remember that even one step forward is an improvement on where you've been.

    I hope you're better and brighter now.

    not been on in ages, I was getting too depressed trying to make the pennies stretch and everything was getting on top of me, couldn't face being here and wanting to get going but not managing to. Anyway things are on the up now, hubbys work is increasing and making a big increase in out £££. Bad thing (not in long run though) is he's going monthly as of May so we'll have to put some away to cover that. Also have our flights to his dads to pay and deposit for next years holiday at end of August. I know how silly it sounds booking hols and pleading poverty but if I'm frank, with the exception of the last couple months the reason we're skint is that we waste money left right n centre. Its not concerning me paying for the hols (DH's dad stays in algarve so thats out summer hol this year n dirt cheap) but for next year we're not going until end Sept so plenty time to pay things off n save.

    Friday can't come quick enough as we will be back up to date with all bills apart from Next but I've spoken to them and set up a payment for April but I will pay it a week on Friday if not before. Must get DS a new blankie too as am sitting next to it n its clean out washing but stinks, fleecy blankets seem to go that way after a while I guess.

    Sooooooooooooooo next task is sit and write out everything need to pay until end of April and when it needs paid and who will be getting paid when. We'll be on hols last week in May (for my 30th eeekkkk) and when we get back we'll both have been paid and are going to costco with a list lol

    Hello Toots,
    So lovely to hear you're ok and back in your diary. Small steps will still get you to where you want to go and you have to take those steps in a way you'll feel comfortable.

    Don't worry though if you work things out and it's still not a perfect month etc. We're here to help support you and cheer you on with the good stuff, so I can promise you'll get no judgements from me.

    Yay to being paid today! I've never been paid mid-month on a monthly salary and I used to get envious of those who did, but now I see it as a little break up in the month and reassurances that people are getting money deposited into their accounts on different days of the month!

    Anyway, it's lovely to see you here again. Take care.
