    Hi Lucky :) On the back of what HHD and Beanie have said do you get any respite from looking after your hubby? Either somebody sitting with him or him going to some sort of day centre or are you pretty much left on your own to deal with everything. xx

    He spends time with either his Mum or his best mate on occasions, and sometimes goes to the gym with another friend, but otherwise it’s just me. Xx

    At least you have a sanctuary SA! Mine is sitting in the car at the supermarket having a wee bubble :o.

    Sold the last piece of sentimental jewellery we had left today. Got £77.50 which was better than I hoped. At least the mortgage is covered now! Xx

    Hi Lucky, sorry to hear things are so tight at the moment. Hope it's just one of those tough months rather than an on-going thing.

    It's good that your hubby's Mum and mates spend time with him to give you a break but it would be nice for you if there was something on a regular basis. xx

    DH has been throwing up since 3am this morning :(. Not sure if it’s a bug or if he’s eaten something dodgy, but he’s also had a partial seizure, which isn’t that surprising if his tablets didn’t stay down long enough :(:(. He’s supposed to be having a lie down but he keeps getting back up because he forgets why he’s lying down. It’s tiring for both of us.

    Got an email today saying my utilities direct debit was going up by £25 per month :eek:. Spoke to someone on online chat who confirmed I was in credit so there was no need to increase it. A good result but :mad: that they emailed in the first place.

    Thanks beanie. He seems better today so fingers crossed he’s over the worst of it.

    Met my Grandma and Sister for lunch today. Grandma paid for lunch and Sister slipped me some cash :A. I really do have the most awesome family.

    DS2’s agent has been in touch about a possible film role :T. Got everything crossed for that one.

    Can you believe it’s a year ago today that DH and I met Martin and it was filmed for his show :eek:?? Time flies Xx
