    *Hugs to DreamerHelen* :(

    Welcome back Sue :) Luckily the neighbour's music isn't a constant thing. Maybe a couple of times a month on average

    Crimson are you feeling better yet? :(

    Jakes-mum, you sound just like my Dad with his Range Rover. Whenever I used to go to Tesco with him in my teens he had a specific parking space he would use, as that was the one in which he was least likely to get people's car doors opened on it! Hope you had a good drive and didn't get too freaked out by the crazy school run drivers doing silly things :)

    My headache has returned unfortunately. I had an eye test today, (as I know that's the first thing the doctor will say on Thursday when I see her), and there has been no change...which is good, because I only bought my latest pair of glasses about 3 weeks ago and I'd have 3 pairs on which I'd need the lenses replaced if my eyes had changed!

  • Thank You Everybody....for your lovely kind words...they mean a lot to me...

    I'm doing okay though....I'm more worried about my Dad and my Grandma...and I cant even be with them as they all live Up North....and I dont drive....and can't afford the Journey very often....So I just have to keep Phoning and hope that's enough encouragement....

    Thank You again everyone...

    Good evening everyone.

    Hugs to those that need them.

    I've potted £8.05 this week. I allot myself a fixed amount each week to spend on food and everyday things and I think I'm going to have to increase it slightly as I'm finding things increasingly expensive and it just doesn't stretch as far as it used to.

    The good news is that this month is my final payment for my student loan. That means an extra £109 per month :T That'll help!

    Have a good weekend

    Hugs to you dreamerhelen

    Well DH forced me out of the house today :eek: he took me to Mr M's for their 50p veg, its about 15 minutes in the car and all the way im shaking and feeling sick with worry, physically stopping myself telling him to turn round and take me home as I knew that if I did it would be 10 times worse the next time I tried to get out the house.
    Anyway, we got there and I managed to do 20 minutes in the shop on my scooter before needing to go home :j :D ok I spent £69 on what felt like no food, but still I got there and got round :D:D

    I think DH has made it his mission to force me out of the house everyday now to fight the fear. I am attempting my first solo run out (that isnt to pick up DD from school) tomorrow. Im going to my mums in the next village 5 minutes away as they are off on hols on monday for a week, so will let you know if I actually manage to get there but feeling pretty relaxed about it after today adn as its my mums house its not as terrible as going to a friends house or a public place anxiety wise IYSWIM.

    No pennies as I had to pay with my card :( hoping for better tomorrow :D

  • Thank You again everyone for your kind words....I'm doing okay and I think my Family are okay too....Just will take time...

    I had £15 in my Purse but I get paid Tax Credits on Monday so I will have those...so decided to put £5 in my Sealed Pot which leaves me with £10 for the Weekend which should be plenty....

    So I'm over the £20 mark....up to £21.50 so far....not bad, I've pretty much done that in less than a Week...so I'm pleased with that!!

    I might be able to Pot a bit more later on....
