Boo to the chavs, sore foot and DH and his waves
But glad DS had a brilliant birthday
Take care Lucky xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Waves tailed off but he is hyper this morning which is very odd considering I’m normally complaining he’s too slow! It’s like he’s stuck on fast forward :eek:. I keep saying, breathe, calm down. He can’t focus enough to be fast :rotfl: XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Oh gosh I hope DH stops being in fast forward mode soon :eek: xMummytogirls x0

DH is back to slow and confused
. I had to show him where the toilet was this morning (in our house!!) because he had forgotten where it was :eek:. I’m feeling rather depressed about it all today, and tired as he was very jerky in his sleep last night too.
DS1 was off with a poorly tummy yesterday, but has gone back to school today.
Not a lot else to report - just want to curl up into a ballXx

It must be so hard to cope with Lucky
I hope you felt a bit better as the day went on.
Think about FloridaFinally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
Debt in July 2017 = £58,766 😱 DEBT FREE 31 OCTOBER 2017 :T 🎉
EMERGENCY FUND 1 = £50/£5,000. EMERGENCY FUND 2 = £10/£5,000.
CHRISTMAS SAVINGS = £0/£500. SEF = £1,400/£12,000 PREMIUM BONDS ME = £350. PREMIUM BONDS DH = £300.
HOLIDAY MONEY = £0 TIME LEFT TO PAY OFF MORTGAGE = 5 YEARS 1 MONTHS0 -
Hi all, sorry been MIA for a few days. Still no full TC seizure for DH but some VERY dodgy days. On top of that DS1 went downhill quickly again, and we suspect it’s Aussie Flu :eek:. He finally has a (tiny) bit of colour in his cheeks which is a welcome change from the grey, and his temperature is closer to normal than in the 39’s.
I’m so tired and diet has gone out of the window. Anyone want any chocolate before I finish it??

Finish the chocolate you deserve it!
Hope everyone is feeling much better soon and things get easier.

Decided I need to focus on Florida - something positive.
On the upside, I’ve realised that the ESTAs we applied for last year are valid for two years, so that’s 4 x $16 saved :j.
I’ve been looking at buying attraction tickets for the things we want to do there this time, and if I was to go ahead with it all, it’ll be £1700 :eek:. So do I go for it, make amazing memories for the boys and still see it as a ‘cheap’ way of getting to Florida, or do I do it as frugally as possible so it remains a ‘free’ holiday?? The boys really want to swim with dolphins at Discovery cove, which is a big chunk of that price. DH and I swam with them in the sea on honeymoon, and I still remember every last detail 15 years later (though DH doesn’t). I’d like them to experience it, but it’s a lot of money. I’d have to pay £80 deposit and then the rest in 9 weeks time. Hmmm.
