The apartment here is very basic this time, but it is clean. We are quite a walk from the marina, about 25minutes. Which we are walking but getting a taxi back. Taxi is around €5 each time. Last night we had a meal in an Indian just behind the harbour. Today we walked about 3 miles to a beach the other side of quartiera. We did stop at the 2.2 mile for a drink.
Then we bought a beach umbrella and one of those screws to anchor it in the sand. We had lunch at BJ's Ocean View Restaurant around 3.30 ish so we won't be eating again today. Unless we make toast later.
Sitting drinking tea on the balcony listening to music from 1965 today.
Still on yesterday's Euros, so I can put today's towards Spain next month.
Apparently my seamstress didn't show up for work yesterday as her car broke down. Slightly worried as there were several urgent jobs in to do. I am waiting to hear from staff to find out what is happening. Worrying times as I can't do anything from here.

As you say little you can do from there.
Unfortunate.

Hello I am back!
I really enjoyed the holiday and read several books. Ate far too much at all the wrong times! Got up late, around 9.30-10am, and went to bed around 2am too many times. BF is so brown, I am less so as I sit in the shade on the beach etc. I sit reading but BF sunbathes and swims more than me. I am brown enough for me!
Messages from work to start the week were not good but I believe that The seamstress was back in work on Friday and Saturday. I am hoping that I will not be disappointed. I see nothing was paid into the bank except card transactions, so presume it will be a low week last week. There is nothing to pay the rent with in the current account, luckily I have an overdraft system. I will not worry as there is some funds in the savings accounts.
I will see more about the position things are in when I get into work in an hour.
My friend/neighbour was supposed to be going to give my place a blitz and take the perishable foods, but she hasn't even been in to feed the fish. The post was in the way of the door, and a parcel has been out in the rain for 5 days. The perishable food gone off.
So I got back about 30 minutes ago and my first job was to sort out the fridge! Yuk.
I will not be relying on her offer to help as this is the second time she has let me down. Also I could have given the food to my son or daughter to use too.
I will need to make a plan of action to sort out everything now that I am home and back to work.
I didn't sleep very well last night, I was at BFs. After the hotel bed his bed really is too hard and my joints already sore from the last week of walking etc I really struggled. I also had nightmares when I did get to sleep.
I was quite disturbed when I woke just after 5am
I better get ready for work, although all I want to do is curl up in bed and sleep zzzz

Not a good day.
Staff didn't come in to hand over so start of day rather messy. I was busy achieving nothing today!
Biggest called. DS has been in an accident, he's safe, but the car is a right off!
The job offer still hasn't appeared into actual hours of work yet. Things are not looking very good for him.
Biggest is running out of money and needs to get work, but child care wipes out all but about £30 a week if she does 20 hours a week on minimum wage. Add in travel costs and it's hardly worth it!
I am at a loss on what I can do.
Went to share dinner with them all and tried to get a game plan in action to get them to help themselves etc.
I think I will be writing debt letters, trips to CAB booked for Monday.
Etc etc
DS is rock bottom again.
I sometimes wonder what I will have to deal with next!
I need a miracle.
Today I wondered how I could stay positive as deep down I am feeling beaten along with my kids.
I know tomorrow is another day and I might just be able to focus and bring it back. But tonight I feel beaten.

Feeling low today as got a bad bout of sciatica going on.
Left seamstress to lock up when she has finished and come home. Going to rest up with some pain killers and hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Work is going along ok with seamstress in, and I will not worry about the work.

Oh Mooloo, chin up. We're all rooting for you. You seem to do amazingly well with all you have thrown at you. A hug from me.
