    Good luck with the new diet! And well done on all of the ebaying.

    Also well done to your son for 3 dry nights! Unlike most adoptive parents, the one thing we haven't had to deal with is toilet issues! I've jinxed it now haven't I? :)

  • £14.28 into the account and divvied up between my pots, so long term savings up to £4.73 :j It sounds so bad, but you have to start somewhere.

    Few pounds and pence waiting to go off CC's. Sending £6.10 to CC1 today so will update that balance as soon as I've worked out what it is!

    £50 due in from MIL this week and I think DH will get paid either Friday or Monday so be good to see what his pay looks like post tiny pay increase.

  • In a mid month funk here, nothing really coming in or going out.. really tired this week and not sure why.

    Had to raise another dispute with palpay as the same company took my money again this month, so I'm down £13 until that gets sorted again.

    Rushed about so much last night with school runs, reading, dinner, rainbows and then bedtime only then to start on my lunch and do some work before crashing into bed.

    Survey action slow, although not helped in that I don't get to them till 7pm ish. Did a prelim survey with -p-cone so be good if that comes through as I'm over a £1 off another voucher. that said the first two vouchers still haven't arrived.

    Happy wednesday all!

    I did jinx it. Wet herself one evening, then wet the bed!!!! :D

    We don't have any after-school clubs and we still struggle to get everything done! I'm incapable of anything other than watching TV once DD is in bed.
