    Thanks IC2D,

    Sorry I've not been around much. Been very hectic, and then last night my mum was taken into hospital (a worsening of an ongoing condition as far as we knew, but just been told she's needed a blood transfusion this am, so not sure what's going on). Only got back at 4am.

    I will be about later hopefully to catch up with peeps. I have managed to update my signature (loan has reduced by about £500 this month and I've made an overpayment to try and get it below 11 (prob the last proper overpayment till we know what's happening with DH job / how much he'll get and if it will cover expenses).

    Hope all are well x

    Worried about you Gib. Hope everything is ok with your mum. Not good news about the blood transfusion, but I have had friends need one for severe anaemia which then only needed controlling with iron tablets so hope it is nothing serious.

    As INOD said, you've been dealing with a lot. You're a very strong woman, but make sure you take care of you. Try and get some sleep when you can. Hugs. xx

    Thanks lovely guys! No need to worry I'm fine - DH is doing a brilliant job of looking after me, and I've only done the bare minimum today work wise, so although I'm still feeling guilty etc, I'm refusing to stay up all night to get it done. Going to try and do a bit each day till I catch up.

    Hope everyone is well and will manage to catch up soon properly.

    Thanks again all x
