  • Thank you for all your replies :

    I do meal plan, I think its possibly costing more with the school holidays, I'm sure DS has hollow legs and never stops eating :p

    I'm definitly going to work on it though!

    Viewing house today at 3pm. If all goes well I need to pay £200 to hold it until the 10th October when I'll need to pay £1100 (First month rent and deposit)

    I really really hope it works out, its perfect. Infact so much so it seems to good to be true

  • It was perfect! Even more than I thought!

    Praying no one gets in before me with the £200 now! I think I will cry if they do :o

    Have to get organised for school returning next week, just need to wash iron and label unifroms etc and must remember next weeks shopping has to have school lunch and snack things on.

    Baby still up and down.. it's awful I'm wishing the days away until she's bigger. I feel I've missed her being a newborn because its been constantly shared with nurses etc and her being so awful that she does nothing but cry!
    Time to start again :o

    Oh,I am so glad it went well.Somehow you seem to get through each day.I am sure you will find a way to get £200.
    Aww,poor baby.It is sad for you,wishing time away,but it is always awful to see them in pain.
    I look forward to reading more of your diary.You have had so much to cope with.

  • Thank you for reading :D

    Okay I'm not moving now :( It just isn't the right time, it will add more debt on, and not really a great time to move with 3 kids on my own and all the hospital visits etc. I am a bit okay no alot gutted about this, but I'm sure when the time is right there will be another house similar in a similar location.

    Now the plan is back to living here for at least the next 2 years I NEED to decorate and get flooring/carpets down. As well as pay this debt off.
    Time to start again :o

    If you're living in rented accommodation, doesn't the landlord have any kind of duty to redecorate?!

    Nope! Unfortunately not :( and its awful. There's no carpets or flooring at all, the walls have holes and drawings over them its a state, but I didn't want to spend on here because I didn't want to stay.

  • Organisation and a kick up the rear is needed.

    I'm really sad the school holidays are coming to an end and next week is back to reality with 4 school runs a day and juggling the kids and appointments etc :(

    The routine will no doubt be better for us though, and the cleaning etc which right now is always a list longer than my arm!

    I'm going to spend the next few days sorting uniforms/bedrooms etc need to sort the final bits for school/lunches.

    Payday Monday I need to do the food shop to include school lunches etc and back to school Tuesday :(
    Time to start again :o
