  • Glad you got a good night's sleep! And good call on destroying the cards/pins. You're sounding very on top of things for someone who has been so ill. Go you! (Although don't do too much).
    Trying to figure out a whole new life. Trying to figure out a whole new budget.
    Divorcing, unclear on final debt total right now, but focusing on building a financial buffer zone.

    Thank you EH and TOPM for stopping by . Last nights sleep was a disaster , I didn't start coughing though until around 4.30 . I am having my DG today but at my parents so they can help with her as well. I guess I should have said no but feel ok to do it with back up.

    Only 11 hours until I can sleep,again.

    The BT has gone through this morning on old CC so need to set up online banking for new card.

    Have put few things on eBay this week as well and made about £9 so far , have another 4 items ending over the weekend. Have got more stuff to put on as well.

    It's all sent to try , I do feel better than I did last weekend. It's all a waiting game I guess.

    Looking after kids when you're ill is hard, although I'm sure you don't want to let the parents down so I understand. Hopefully your parents will be a help today. I'm not sure how old your DGD is but I always find that my youngest one (2.5) can sense when I'm not well and he becomes a bit more affectionate and happy to sit and cuddle/ chill.

    DGD has been really good today , she has been to see lots of people.

    The lump I had removed from my nose in January has turned out to be Basal Cell Carcinoma ie skin cancer . Need to have more work done , eh it never rains but it pours .

    At least it's been found and before I go to Australia.
