Three choices in life; Give up, Give in or Give all you've got!!

Happy Valentines Day all! St Valentine is the patron saint of Epilepsy apparently. Very apt.

Sorry I've been MIA, can't really think I've been up to much, but I must've been to have not managed to get on here to post! Been to work, taken boys swimming, DS2 has been to a party, had a catch up with friends and fell out with DH!

No school bag purchased as yet. Couldn't find anything in the shops so ordered online but then order was cancelled as the seller couldn't locate it after I'd paid. Paypal have placed a temporary hold on the refund :mad: so haven't been able to order another. The boys are on half term holidays now so I have a week to sort it.

I've fallen off the diet wagon . Consumed my weight (which is a lot!) in rubbish. Have to get back on top of things before it gets out of hand.

Social Worker called to rearrange meeting she missed while off sick. She's coming again on Tuesday. Apparently DH has been granted funding equivalent to £44 per week and I've been granted a one off (per annum) payment of £600. She wants us to tell her on Tuesday how we'd like to spend it and I'm just like ??????????????

As social worker cancelled last week they will have to wait for you to decide!!
Money for you should be something YOU will benefit from.
MOney for DH could maybe pay for him to go out for 2 or 3 hours a week with someone to do something he likes?

Great news about the funding! We have had the social worker cancel on us several times. On one occasion the social worker decided to walk out of her job en route to our house!!! Hey me and you both with the falling of the diet waggon this weekend. Back on track tomorrow though, we can do it!

Gained 4lbs :eek::o:eek:. Gutted.

Social Worker came round today (SA I still can't believe someone quit en route to your house!!). The outcome is amazing!! DH was adamant he didn't want anyone as a 'carer' and was quite sulky about it. I was livid because that's what he said he wanted last time and then was horrified with the idea today like he'd never heard of it before, much less suggested it himself! Anyway, the money can be used for gym membership and new trainers etc so he's over the moon. My allocation can be used for a break away for the whole family amongst other things so I will probably go with that.

DS2 has been poorly last couple of days with a high temperature and cough. Lots of his school friends are poorly too apparently so must be a virus going round. Rubbish start to half term. Hoping he's well tomorrow as we are booked in for trampolining.

am sure you can spend in on some stuff for you PLMBL. It is good news re the money tho. XXX

mummytogirls

Yay to the money PLMBL, will you still be able to get in as his carer?

Poor DS with his cough and temp, my DH and DD's have it too. It seems a horrid one to shift.
