    Thanks for the list Juliejim :D

    I'll try to be in this week but I have lots of admin type stuff to do and in reality would rather crawl into bed and sleep but I can't so I won't.

    Favour please if you don't mind, I'd appreciate some "Nicki gets the consolidation loan she needs" vibes for tomorrow morning. I have an appointment with the bank at 10.15am to see if I can get a loan to pay off as much of my debt as possible :o I'm sick of the varying amounts going out each month and I'm sick of not being able to save any money to pay for things! They rang on Friday to confirm and asked me to all my financial paperwork with me and they will see whether they can do me a deal on insurance etc. They're going to get a shock, I have no insurance (and no plans to take any out with them...I'll shop around for the best deal thank you ;):money: ), I don't need a bank account where I pay monthly for it, and all I plan on walking out of there with apart from a smile is the approval for a loan so I can clear all my debts and make one monthly payment instead of 3 varying ones ;) I plan on having 2 copies of martins planner with me: 1 for my current situation, and 1 based on if they can give me a loan (using their online calculator as a guide as to how much the repayments would be).

    DD is currently grounded (snowball of things over the past 2-3 weeks :mad:) so when she gets home from school & has done her lists she can do some flying to keep her entertained because if I hear "I'm bored" one more time I will be doing more than chucking a fluffy mule at her! :mad:

    So my week is looking like this:
    Mon: Bank 10.15am, drop book at old school
    Tue: Physio 9am AH
    Wed: Delivery (sort cards for customer deliveries)
    Thur: Collect books, DD afternoon off
    Fri: Inset, DD doctors 11am
    Sat: ex here

    My aim for tomorrow is to do a HHC from 7:00 - 7:30 PM when I get in from Rainbows

    ok it's a date :D i will join you at 7pm on the dot and we can compare notes/successes after...

    I've said it before and i'll say it again... hot brandy or whisky with honey and lemon. Spicey food and painkillers will help also. So says Dr Bumpkins :p

    Off to bed cos im cream crackered. Night all see you in the morn xx

    I hope you got some sleep Dusty.

    I'm awake but still in bed. DH left half an hour ago. Dd2 is having a cuddle.

    I did a HHC in the shared bedroom last night. It's still a long way from perfect but I'm getting there.

    I have lunches to make and DS2's school trousers to iron (they were presented to me for washing at 8.30pm last night.

    After school clubs commence today. DS3 has tag rugby. Dd2 has football tomorrow. DS3 has cross country on Wednesday. I will be spending alot of time going backwards and forwards so I'm trying to think of productive things I can do in the car. Hopefully there will be a nearby parent who I can sort a collection rota with.
