    Thank you :) He is so chuffed with himself.

    Still no word from solicitor and money for fixing the damage. Will be sending a chase email today.

    Also my fablon that was due to arrive Saturday still is not here for my worktops, sent an email.

    I finally remembered my letter about council tax so will phone on my lunch to sort that!

    Cant believe we go away on Monday :) Just me and my boy much needed!

    Hope all is well

    Council tax contacted, they will be sending out a change in next week (I hope I will be out country lol!)

    Sent chase email and my solicitor says she has heard no word and will chase up tomorrow :/

    Amazon said they will resend my fablon out so fingers crossed. xx

    So I came home and seen they delivered my fablon oops! I emailed to let them know but no reply.

    Today is my last day at work until 30th, I will try come on whilst on annual leave, but probably be after Spain and Belfast. I literally too excited to see my little cousin <3

    Tonight my boy is staying at my mums so first thing will be up at 745 to get to Wilkos in Motherwell for cupboard paint and get those cupboards done by Saturday :D... unsure if I will get fablon done as might ask my sister shes best with things like that :) then thats kitchen complete :D!

    Hoping today will hear from my solicitor for money so can book the guys in and have livingroom ready for me coming home to paint and can start proper saving to get my boys room done, then will do my room last and then save for flooring... then for garden. So much needs done! never ending lol

    Hope all is well xx

    Morning and I am back. Holiday was amazing, just the most brilliant time ever me and my boy (also thankful to friends we met there and going down visit this weekend!) another single mum with a boy 8. She was there with her mum and dad and we just clicked from day one. My boy and him were off on their adventures, stopping by for more euros for games and me and the boys mum were happy with a free bar ;) to an extent lol! Entertainment was out this world also.

    Belfast was so emotional. I got to see my cousins after so long and her baby <3 her girl was obsessed with my son. And she is a mini him lol its mad! I could not stop crying leaving her but not a goodbye but see you later :D!

    I spoke to some of you away so everyone else an update on house.... The previous owners are saying its "decorative damages" and refusing to pay. I am in a fight over this and those who have saw the pics can tell its not a lick of paint to fix it >:(!!! Will continue to fight this! I am booking a plasterer in cos I cannot stand the livingroom as is :(

    Nothing else to add. Sending my mum and dad £300 due to having to pay a plasterer the now :/ but at £800/ £4,000 nearing a quarter :D

    Need to get my a** in gear now for my boys bday ahhhhh xxx
