Yesterday we went to a local hotel for lunch. DSIL paid for a treat for us. A lovely meal outside in the sun with all local family except DS2 who was feeling extra low yesterday.
Today is filled with medical appointments and babysitting. Hopefully no spends. Yesterday was another NSD for me but not for Mr P.
My teacher's pension goes in the bank today so some DD will go out of our account and any extra will be paid off the credit card. I will report back later.business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Lovely to hear you had a treat yesterday with your family, I so much feel for you and DS2, depression is such a horrible horrible illness, I understand that the news flowing through our lives at the moment, must impact.
I hope for you all, the a light go hope can be found and today is a better day for him.As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or

Thank you for your lovely thought Bubblesmum, and everyone else too.
I had a lovely short walk at a low level tarn near us. We were able to park right next to the water and sat and watched ducks, children having canoe lessons and dogs playing (and according to DGS bears:D)
This was what I was recommended to do by my counsellor, go out in nature. DD thought a change of scene might be good for me and it was. I only wish DS2 could join us.
We bought hen food yesterday at £15 for two bags. I need to do some research into costs and see if that is a good price. We are getting lots of eggs from our new hens. I am going to make a sign later and stick it in my porch window. It is amazing what sells here in a 'no through road'. Cash from eggs always goes to red squirrel group or to the locals hospice though Mr P says we should use it to pay for the feed first.
Today I have meeting with counsellor and then hopefully some seed sowing. Maybe some sewing for myself too...business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Toni'friend it is good to hear good news about. And wonderful to know your son has come out of it.
Beanie you are always the good voice of reason
I have new recommendations from my counsellor today. I feel as though DS2 could be helped in the same way but they are still going down the medication route for him.business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

I too agree that the hens should pay for their own food first!!
Glad you had a nice day out. Hope DS2 picks up a bit soon XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
