Hi lucky so sorry to hear DH had a seizure just shy of 28 weeks. Fingers crossed the time between them only increases and they become less and less.
Love the idea of you having that money what a great surprise do tell us how it goes today. xx

I read somewhere if you get a lump sum you should ideally split into three: save/pay off debts/spend. Probably read it on MSE actually. I bet you are over the moonI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

It's only blinkin genuine :j:j:j:j. We should have the cheque in the next few days. I'm sooooooo excited
.
I'm also in pain and on antibiotics though. I have a cyst, but the bigger problem is that the lymph node in my groin has done such an amazing job of trying to fight the infection, that it's swollen so big I can't walk very well. If it doesn't get better quickly I have to go to A&E. Typical 'rough with smooth' stuff for me!!Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
