    Hi. Just catching up. You're doing really well. I have anxiety as well so I understand how difficult it can be. Looks like you're only a few surveys away on you gov from a nice payout though!

    All the best.

    Well a better nights sleep and two happy older ones happy to go to school makes for a good morning :D

    PayPal £30 has hit bank, haven't paid it off anywhere yet because I only have 40p in my account :o although I don't think we need anything anyway.

    I still dont really have plans for today. My sister is working late so no plans to visit. I've done the majority of the cleaning. I suppose I can sweep the stairs etc and sweep outside if the rain stays away.

    Meal plans done for next week, thinking of going to Ald1 again rather than Mr S. It's definitely worth it money wise.

    Well done - you deserve the coffee for all your hard work. I'd hang on to the £30.00 at least until the wages come in and then think about putting it towards the catch up on the council tax. You'll have nearly caught up on everything then (I'm still ignoring Mum). Don't you ever sit still? Did you ask about DLA?
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    If I sit still and let things slack it gets on top of me then I regret it :o

    DLA forms have been posted out to me ;) and her team are all happy to help and send supporting evidence to include.

    Hi Just want to say how much I admire what you are achieving. Its hard but you can get there. Doing surveys etc kept me going thru tough times as did applying for any freebies going. Keep up the good work.
