When I asked for luck I didn't mean the bad variety!!!

Didn't get chance to post yesterday, busy busy busy. Had a meeting after job 1 which was supposed to take 20 mins but actually took an hour :mad: so was late getting home, then both boys went for haircuts and as a bribe for going we took them for a burger tea afterwards (which cost more than the haircuts :eek:), rushed home, grabbed some tea myself then out for a 2 hour training session for Beavers :eek:. Didn't get home until 10pm and was practically asleep standing up!

Today has been much calmer, just job 1 this morning (though everyone seemed very flat so it wasn't much fun) and then my sister came over for tea. Would have been a NSD day too but I forgot to post something yesterday so had to do that today. Seems quite boring really. Is that what normal feels like??:rotfl:.

So after complaining that yesterday was 'boring', today has been horrendously busy from the minute I woke up . I worked at job 1 until 12, rushed home and fed everyone lunch superfast then dropped DS2 off at MIL's whilst I took DH for an appointment (to see if he can get any more help with his recovery). We just got back in time to collect DS2 from MIL with minutes to spare before DS1 got out of school, and then I did a quick change into job 2's uniform and off there for a busy 4 hour shift before doing some shopping after work and home to have tea and flop at 10pm!

2 glorious days off coming up! Can't wait!!

Had a lovely chilled out day for a change. We met my Mum, Grandma and Auntie for coffee and took the boys to the park afterwards which was windy but great all the same.

Came home to a letter saying I'd been accepted for a Barclaycard with 0% balance transfer for 22 months :j. Really didn't think I would be, but they've given me a £4,400 credit limit so I've immediately transferred £4k from the Santander card in DH's name which leaves just over £1k to clear on there and then we are rid of them for something else! :beer: to that!! Focus now is to clear the remaining balance asap and I'm thrilled at the prospect . It will also bring our debt free date forward by eons as the Santander rate is ridiculously high. So some good news for a change :T.

Didn't sleep too well last night, too much on my mind as there's a lot going on in both jobs, Beaver's and keeping on top of all DH's appointments at the moment. Finally managed to turn my thoughts to meal planning though, and bored myself to sleep at about 2am!!

DS1 was at a roller disco party today and I had planned to take DH and DS2 also as there is a soft play there which they could go into, but a friend offered to drive DS1 and I so I jumped at the chance to save the diesel and extra spends. DH took DS2 to the park along the street from our house instead. (On a good day I'm more than happy for this to happen!).

This afternoon we went to MIL's for more free fun in the garden, (It's made such a difference to see the sun shining too :T), before home for tea, boy's baths and bedtime. I'm way out on my competition entries, so that's my plan for the next hour or so then bed.

Good luck with the competition entries :-)

Hope things pick up for you soon X

Thank you Enchanted . I'm a bit spooked now though as it seems I was commenting on your diary at the exact same time you were on mine!! Must be something to do with the Wicked Witch affinity :rotfl:.

Wow - well done on your weight loss. Not sure how you have the time and energy to focus on that but it's really amazing that you're doing so well. Keep it up.

Thank you kindly teatime! It's funny, but its having this to focus on that is helping keep me sane, and it's making me feel better about myself week on week. Normally I hide my self pity at the bottom of a chocolate bar wrapper and then feel even worse, so its been interesting to find out that by putting myself first in this small way has much longer lasting effects than my 'I deserve cake so I'll have it' mentality.

Plus I've now made over £200 for the NSPCC which makes me very happy :T:j.

Not a bad day today, nothing amazingly fantastic but nothing particularly bad either! I'll settle for that!

I did have to spend an unplanned £8 though as the skylander figure I won arrived today, and DS1 already has that one . 30 odd figures to choose from and we get one of the 6 we have already! So we had to buy him a different one and I will be selling the duplicate either to a friend or on ebay.

DH has an appointment with the head injury rehab unit tomorrow which I'm really pleased about. It's the same place where he spent 4 weeks as an inpatient following his initial 5 weeks in hospital after the accident, and they were very specialised so I'm hoping they are just as good with their outpatient help. I'm sure they will be.:)
