Sorry to read you're not feeling much better about things. Does no Family Foundation help mean you've no holiday plans at all this year? Unless of course you win something - fingers crossed. xx 0

No we have nothing planned at all. We were lucky enough to have been taken to Tenerife by MiL, so we aren’t hard done by or anything, but I’m a bit stressed about getting through the whole Summer with zero plans. It’s also nice to be just the 4 of us sometimes, as lovely as MiL is XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Thank you Mrs H, much appreciated. Sending the same vibes back for you too Xx
Forgot to say yesterday in amongst the moaning, that I was super proud of both my boys! DS2 got a Gold Award at school for Consistently High Standards of Presentation. And DS1 got the results of his Science exam back. He did the Higher GCSE paper, and it’s scored 1 to 9 (9 highest). Pass mark is a 4 or above and DS1 got a 6!! Not bad for 2 years before the real GCSE. His friends seem to have gotten 4s and 5s from what he heard, so we are all chuffed XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
