    You're sounding much more positive tonight P. Hope that black cloud has been chased away by the sunshine!

  • The black cloud still comes over every day SA, I'm just trying to ignore/chase it away rather than let it pee down on me!!!

    Had a really rubbish sleep :( Woke up at 2am with mind racing and couldn't switch off to go back to sleep again. This was made worse by checking the online banking just after 3am to find although DH's ESA has been paid, it's £30 less than it normally is :mad:. After all those phone calls a few weeks ago, where they were adamant they didn't owe us anything for me working less hours, I was told it would stay the same amount until I sent my most recent payslip in, at which point they would 'probably' owe us more. I sent that payslip in over a week ago, have had no correspondence and now this! I'm earning the least amount I have so far, how can they take money off us?? They open at 8am, I'm waiting by the phone!!!!

    I hope you have managed to get things sorted with DWP.

    DS2 is very cute :D
    It sounds as though you have a good neighbour there. It is kind of them letting DSs use it .

    Hope the phonecall went well PLMBL!
  • Several phone calls later and DWP owe me £85 which I will have within 3 days :j. They will also owe me more after they process my next wage slip :D.

    One thing gets sorted and something else goes wrong though. DH is having a very confused and panicky day :( He keeps asking me the same questions in a loop like an Alzheimer's sufferer :(.

    I hope things have now settled down with DH and it wasn't a 'warning' of another fit. Or an actual fit. I know they can take many forms. I would phone the doctor, if you haven't already done so.

    Massive hugs from all of us here.

    Hope everything is ok with hubby P. Well done with DWP! And it's a virtual hug from me too!

  • Thank you pooh :A.

    DH has slowly got better as the day wore on. He is still not back to "normal" and keeps repeating himself, but he isn't panicked like he was earlier. That said, he must've said about 20 times today that he "feels waves of fear", and each time he says it he does so in a manner like he's never said it before :(. I'm definitely not as worried about him as I was early afternoon, but I'll feel better when we get through to tomorrow without a seizure (fingers crossed!).

    Mum and sis came for tea tonight. Mum gave me a fiver towards the cost of the meal and as I just made a pasta dish that covered the whole cost :D. Was nice to see them both and have their support for a while. It can be quite draining when DH is the way he was today :o.

    Looking forward to bedtime now. I'm shattered!!
