IA's 'Does my bum look big in this Debt?' Diary

Storm

Hi IA :hello:

Haven't been on since Thursday - so sorry about the visit on Friday morning - makes you wonder why they bothered coming to see you

Great deal on the AA though - mine's up next month, so hopefully will still be able to get the Quidco cashback.

Phone the Dr and ask for an emergency appointment for the anti-d's (if you phone up sounding distressed they'll fit you in, esp if you say what the appointment is for) as even if you're going to come off them you need to do this properly and gradually.

(((((HUGS)))))

My health visitor has just been and gone. She's more than happy that I'm better so won't be coming again and I'll just see her at the usual checks. She agreed that Ofsted were stupid lol. I also told her about my running out of pills and she said not to worry as I seemed fine but to ask the doctor to start weaning me off them.
Hurrah!

Just had the fright of my life as I noticed that the barclaycard DD hadn't gone AGAIN.
Called them up and apparently it's because they refunded the late payment charge which classed as a payment plus because I paid in the bank it overrode this months DD. I asked if I could pay this month in a bank and she said not to as it would override next month's DD. Apparently they statement is going out today and there's no charges or anything so LOOKS LIKE everything should be back to normal now. Bloody barclaycard.

Sorry to hear about OFSTED but absolutely wonderful news about your health visitor agreeing with you that you can start to be weaned off the ADs! To be fair, your posts are way more upbeat even when you're dealing with a ton of crap than they were in similar situations a few months ago! Great news about the personal £10 a month... I'll bet you spend some of it on the girls and then feel guilty about a £1 top from the market for youself - ask us what to do with the money - we'll tell you to buy 10 tops!

Morning all! Got my doctors appointment at 10.40/10.50 (can't remember which lol) to sort out my Anti-d's. Haven't had one since friday now and I feel fine. In fact I feel better for not taking them as I feel that if I can manage without them then I've actually over the massive hill that is PND.
Annoying thing is it's raining and I've got to walk.. :mad: Might borrow MIL's bike as she's coming round to watch the girls but it's been about 10 yrs since I rode a bike! :eek:

Child benefit went in today so the savings are up to £132.44 Shame that I've got to get the car tax tomorrow which'll swallow up £77 of it but needs must and all that. :rolleyes: Ah well. Tax credits day tomorrow.


Here's a couple of pics of K's new walker that we got her off freecycle last night..

She is so cute!

As for the car tax, at least you have the money saved for it. And it is important.

Hope everything goes ok at the doc's and remember that they can't make you take them!

Good news Just got back from the docs and I am officially off the anti depressants He said as I'd not had any side effects as yet then it was pointless me taking a lower dose for the sake of it and to just see how I got on and to go back if I noticed any problems or my depression coming back...
hurrah!

Great news IA, K looks so lovely in her walker too - you pictures always make me smile! Take care.

Well I've just called ofsted and they're getting the lady that came to see my friday to give me a call to see if this makes any difference to my application or whether I would have to completely reapply again..
Fingers crossed.....

Oooo Good Luck!!

Did they say when she would call? I really hope that it makes all the difference.
