So sorry to hear about your cousins son. Hope the post mortem gives you all some clarity.

Thank you all :A. The initial post mortem results have been inconclusive. It doesn’t seem to have been drugs thankfully, but it might take up to 5 weeks to find out exactly why he died .

Money wise, this week has been a real struggle. Looking forward to things being a little bit better from next week. Really starting to panic about money again though. It just doesn’t stretch far enough and we are short EVERY month, not just now and again. Haven’t got a penny saved for Christmas, nor any presents bought yet :eek::eek:.

A heads up for anyone that qualifies, the Warm Homes Discount application officially opens tomorrow, though I’ve heard some have opened already depending on your utility company Xx

Hi PLMBL I hope when the PM results come through they bring some answers for the parents.

Sorry to read you're struggling. Everything seems to come round so quickly these days as well doesn't it. Never seems much time to properly save for anything. Do you just buy for the boys or do you buy for family as well?

I've been saving and thought I'd have quite a bit left over after I'd allocated money to names, but there's not as much as I thought. As you say it doesn't go very far these days. xx

Thanks tea.

I only really buy for the boys, and token gifts for the Mums, my Sister/SiL and my Grandma. DH and I don’t buy for each other, and we stopped exchanging gifts with other friends/family a few years ago. The boys do very well considering our situation, so if I have to scale back then I have to :(.

Today will be another NSD which helps. It’s awful here, heavy rain etc, so we aren’t up to much. I’ve been tidying and trying to have a sort out. A few more things added to the ‘bootsale’ pile, but not much left that’s eBay worthy.

I had an accident in my car this morning :. There’s a £500 excess on my insurance policy so that will need paid upon completion at the garage.

Totally gutted Xx

Oh dear.
Sorry to read this.
Hope you are ok.
£500 is a huge excess.
Take care xx

Oh no! Hope you're OK. I can imagine how gutted you are. £500 is a lot to find and I know you've said you've been struggling lately. It does seem to be one thing after another at times doesn't it. xx

Bad news about the accident. Just what you don't need

Take care xx
