    I agree with Chev, take the money as at least that will take a bit of pressure off x

    Yes, I'd take your MIL up on the kind offer too, if she is happy to help you out.

    Sorry to hear about the scan, sounds as though you are being very brave x
  • Yes it makes sense in that more debt would then be 0% and we wouldn't have to make a formal arrangement Xx

  • Well he may have 2 working arms but the poor mite started throwing up through the night last night and has been ill today :(

    I've lost a LOT more stuff today :( I freaked out if I'm honest at the volume and velocity it came away at, but thankfully I was at home when it happened. Against everyone's wishes I went into work tonight. To be honest I was expecting to have to leave early and come home but I managed ok. I don't get paid if I don't go in so I'm pleased to have got through it. Glad I'm off tomorrow though.

    Please take care of yourself honey, your health is so much more important than money.

    Hope little man is better tomorrow x

    Hello Be Lucky, hope your lad is sleeping peacefully right now, and you too of course. Fingers crossed he's just had the latest bug from school, and ditto that you're over the worst as well - get all the annoying/worrying/upsetting/emotional stuff out of the way before xmas so you can look forward to enjoying the good times with your family. :)

    Your MIL sounds great; let her help, I'm sure she'll feel much happier knowing you've got a bit less to worry about, getting that bank off your backs! ..And finishing off your bathroom in such an MSE way. :D
  • Hi Robin, hope your travels are still going well Xx

    DH got up with the boys this morning so I could have a lie in and I felt better for it. DS2 on the otherhand had thrown up twice by the time I surfaced though :(. To be honest I think it was because DH had forgotten to only let him sip his drink until his tummy got used to it, and he gulped it down so it was rejected. However, he seems much brighter now, and has kept his food down.

    I've passed more stuff today. I don't know whether to be shocked or in awe at how much the human body puts in to growing a baby in just 9-12 weeks! Anyway, sorry if that is too much info for anyone. Fingers crossed it means the next scan will be clear on Thursday.


    DH has had a letter back from DLA saying they are looking into his claim. I'm pleased with that as the last time he got a flat no but this letter is much more detailed about asking his Consultants etc for more info if they feel it is necessary. I'm quietly positive about it this time.:cool:

    I've also completed 2 surveys today. For one, I'm going to be sent some free crisps :jto try and feed back on (they will then pay me in points towards my next voucher) and for the other I'll be paid cash :T for feeding back to them how much diesel costs each time I fill up my car. Quite chuffed with those!

  • Nipped to Mr T's this morning as I had to get a child's birthday present for a party, so made use of the toys being on 3 for 2. I bought 3 items at £5.97 each, 1 for the birthday girl & 2 to put away for DS2 for christmas so £5.97 saved by Santa!

    Work was super busy today so I'm pleased to be home & chilling in front of the tv. Happy Saturday everyone Xx
