I'm glad you had some you time with your family and DH going out. Also glad that you're managing at the moment moneywise.

I think teenagers are usually happy with money and a few token gifts. That's all DS3 wants anyway.

Sorry about the sad anniversary .

Glad you got some precious time to yourself xx

Very sad it's the anniversary of losing your dad, you've been without him a long time, sadly you lost him too young

Fab news on the weight loss and money is manageable

I echo SA .... time alone is good for wellbeing, I am glad you were able to have some,

Next year will be 21 since loosing my Mum, time flies, but I am sure it feels like yesterday.

Take care x

Robin, driving lesson money is an awesome idea. Not sure he’d leave it alone until then, but I’ll certainly suggest it to him.

We went for a kids' ISA for DGS. First to encourage the idea of tax free saving, second because his Dad is the signatory so no sneaky frittering is possible.

Spotted your piccy on your FB memories page, with all the wonderful women in your life - you look just how I imagined except the glorious wavy blonde locks were a surprise!

:xmastree:

It's decoration day here [bit early for my liking but I was outvoted, lol]..

Ah Robin that’s kind of you to say, particularly because I look a bedraggled mess on that photo!! I love it because of the other people in it though :A.

Another week has gone without me posting, I’m getting really bad at that, sorry. Money actually wasn’t as good as I thought last week, as somehow I’d forgotten about the mortgage :eek::eek:. Managed to borrow the money for 2 days to cover it though so all was good. Budget is a bit healthier this week - definitely this time .

DH had a partial seizure on Wednesday. It was actually a relief as he’d been really sleepy and not ‘switched on’ for a few days, and the seizure seemed to sort of ‘reset’ him. I don’t take it lightly though obviously, it’s a big deal.

Lost another pound at chub club today. 1 stone 8.5lbs in 9 weeks :T. Hoping for another loss this week as nothing much happening, but the week after will be tough (in a good way!) because we have our festive break to Edinburgh :j:j and then Christmas Day in the same week!!

Have won some treats for Oakley, but otherwise haven’t been very successful in the Advent Competitions this year. Disappointed!!

Well done on the weight loss :j

Sorry Mr L had a seizure but blessing in disguise he's been reset. Hopefully that's it for a very long time now xx

Good news on the WL
Glad that DH is now 'reset'
Hope the money fairy visits soon. xx

Christmas Eve Eve :eek::eek:.

Those of you that follow the memories FB page will know we’ve had our festive break to Edinburgh. Although overall we had a nice time (teenage and brain injury tantrums aside), we’ve all agreed to try somewhere new next time. There’s still a lot of the UK to see!! Very appreciative of the chance to get away via the Carer’s Fund, hopefully it will still be going next year.

I lost another 2.5lbs this week taking my total to 1 stone 11lbs in 10 weeks. Have gained about 4lbs back while away though so trying to pull that back. Not easy when Christmas is the day after tomorrow!!

Glad you enjoyed your break in Edinburgh. Well done on the weight loss, it's all about damage limitation this time of year so enjoy the festivities and get back on track in the new year xx
