one day at a time

safehouse

Just starting to pull myself together after a few not so great days...............
OH still battling his demons only wish he would do it quietly and in another room, no another house, no street, ....oh what the heck another country why not, I really have no more patience, and would be happy to wave him off into outer space .............
All electrics blown on Saturday night full house, alarm decided to go on and on and on from 1am bit like OH but maybe a little more tolerable lol, funny thing was he actually slept through the whole noise, didn't flinch :rotfl:
£1000 double Fridge was broken in the process along with house alarm, not sure how this has happened, luckily we have a chest freezer so food saved….rang insurance and told we are not covered for fridge or alarm or electrics, wondering what exactly I am insured for!
By Sunday we had managed to get every room back on track except for the kitchen which is looking like spaghetti junction at the moment extension leads coming from the kettle, microwave …you name it. Keep expecting and imagining OH to go flying or get tangled up and having a wicked giggle to myself, well I deserve some pleasures in life surly;)
Electrician no1 seems to think we need a full re-wire to the house “£2,000 inc mess “even though only the kitchen sockets are out and everything else is working fine hmmm
Electrician 2 is coming after 5pm today.
Sunday had booty with Dsis and Dmama loved it, great fun...could have pitched up a tent and stayed there if possible. Money made at booty has atleast paid for 2nd hand fridge £50 ….:T
Yesterday DS received a letter from Student finance claiming he has been over paid by quite a large amount and ofcourse they want it back, so a very unhappy DS at the moment, stomping around the house and the wires, quite comical at times….:D
End result by Monday one heck of a migraine which lasted right through until this morning.
Dentist this morning, praised for looking after my teeth so very happy for 5 mins then poor DS walks out with a a right face, carrying an appointment card for 2 fillings....well, that on top of his student finance news and he has sloped upstairs and I probably won’t see him now for quite a few hours.
Soooo trying to make an uplifting post out of a bad few days ........after all tomorrow is another day, even if i must say please lord let it be peaceful one

Early start....birds singing, sun shining, nice mug of tea in hand...Ooh I love the early mornings.....:D:D
OH seems to be now making the effort, with another storm ridden, ...For now! .....:o
Electrician no 2 delayed yesterday so coming later today.... trying to be optomistic
Have agreed to attend appointment with DS to see Uni Tutor, moral support more than anything, he needs to get his application and funding sorted once and for all....fingers crossed...:)
Dsis and Dmama flew off to Spain yesterday, couldn't help but feel envious, would love a break, but really wouldn't dare leave molly moo for a whole week....will look into a nice weekend in Blackpool in a month or 2.
Have booked in few extra house cleans, which should give me a good boost to my wages at the end of the month and extra to throw at my mortgage....:D
Oh and £30 paid off CC :T
DS 0…. CC 3,920 …. Mortgage £100,000 /£65,040 paid £34,960 remaining….Xmas Hols £60.00

DS Uni meeting could have gone better, tutor seemed to be in quite a moody when we first walked in :mad:, very unprofessional, not as polite as the previous meeting, I suppose everyone has an off day but still put a bit of a downer on the morning for DS....surly she should be trying to be positive and more upbeat to potential students regarding the courses they teach....Oh well, must try not to dwell on other peoples actions so much, really do chew things over in my mind far too much....................:)
Bingo night tonight with Dsis 2 looking forward to a good giggle and a little win wouldn't hurt......:D

Day off £10 in purse and have decided to have a relaxing bus ride into town, listen to my favorite music with a nice view of the countryside followed by a charity shop trawl, maybe treat myself to a couple of nice tops. Need to take my mind off the approaching weekend

Early night last night.................few bad dreams but had worse nights.
Nice fresh quiet morning , not sure what to do today, should get some house work done ....ironing 2 baskets flowing over,shameful.

£70 paid into mortgage money left from very frugal week and skipping main food shop, with only minor things bought.;)

Uncomfortable evening , still no eruptions... would love a normal Saturday night for a change .
DS has sinus.....seems to coincide with me cutting the grass last week "damn allergies" hope he feeling bit better today .
Sunday lunch at favorite cheapy pub planned £13 then visit to DSis 3.... drop in with her birthday pressy.
I wish I could think of a way to make more cash by investing the cash I have already saved for my mortgage or some of it. Any ideas people ?...was even considering setting DS up into some sort of self employment he is having no luck with job applications as yet..but the fear of it falling flat and losing the money to pay off my mortgage scares me beyond belief.... even so I am going to give this some serious thought as although DS will have his full time Uni commitments this wont be until September and I want to help him out......................
