    Off work today, been throwing up all night, and still feeling rough today, so haven't gone in - don't wanna spread my germs either!
    A little hacked off though, DS has had Hand Foot and Mouth, and so is off nursery for the whole week.... OH is meant to be looking after him, but is still asleep :mad: so I am left trying to entertain our child and not throw up!

    And to top off my day, the electricity bill has just come in and it £191:eek: :mad: :eek:

    Thank goodness we're switching!

    So the 'ouch' continues...... just had a letter from the Landlord to say that as from Aug 1st, the rent is going up by £75:eek: :eek: :eek:
    There goes my budget and DFD:mad: .... but on a good note, it did almost spur OH into action, as he's meant to have called them about our dodgy windows and fallilng-apart, almost kitchen..... I say almost kitchen, as its a kitchen carcass (sp?) with home-made MDF doors on!

    Hopefully he will call them in the morning to sort it.... and I MUST get him to sort his Childcare vouchers out! Just gotta figure out where to find the £75 from :confused::(

    Have you had a look on your local rental market to see if he's pricing himself out of it?

    I haven't yet.... I still think it's pretty reasonable for the area, but I will definately take a look at what else is on offer! The only problam we may have moving is that we have a dog, and increasingly people won't take them....
