I almost posted a particularly vitriolic diatribe against your oh... deleted it, not my business, not my place...

You rock chick, you are a top mama to your kids :A

:rotfl: :rotfl: tis slowly sinking in

I hope the kids think I'm a good mum

I'm bored. I don't have anything left to clean or iron, outside is even clean.

Meal plan is sort of done, depends when OH makes an appearance because if he isn't I don't have to do as much cooking when he isn't here.

He's alive, he's used his bank card.

I still need to think of teacher gifts this week, but other than I'm hoping for not much spending on anything else. Bills are paid, gas and electric has enough on, we have food etc. Hopefully meaning I can catch up some of the short fall on the Council tax. Other than that not much happening.

Absolutely spot on

I don't have to tell you that you're a great mum. Your kids know that but honestly has he disappeared again spending money on can't afford? When is he going to grow up and take and take some responsibility? I suspect never. As far as teacher's presents are concerned a small thank you letter from the children will mean more than any gift.

Morning HI. Just a quick post. Wanted to say well done on the payments and how you are managing fantastically! I haven't posted for a while but have been reading.
RE: DLA, We never had our letter from consultant either, I put in their contact details and copies of any appointment letters/the letters they send after and all that was enough, they never contacted the hospital for any more information. Hopefully your forms go through ok.
Good luck with the job decision, if you took the 10 hour contract would you be able to drop to just the 10 hours if it is too much or would they expect the 24? If you get the higher rates of DLA you would still be able to work the 10 hours and get carers allowance, giving you some much needed time to be you but lower hours if you needed too. Good luck with whatever you decide x

Morning 9 more school days

Thanks CT Consultant has fired a lot of info over and now its just waiting to be dealt with, does it usually take this long?

No I'd be expected to do the 24 hours term time regardless as that's the position I'd be taking. There is a lower position though doing 11-1 but thats doing something I don't like doing and I know by doing the 24 hours someone will be willing to swap on my days I have to do that bit and I can do something else.

Anyway job taken. No trial she doesn't feel it's needed because I've done it before and know everyone. Uniform ordered, need to buy shoes.

Also have uniform and stuff to buy for kids, will do my list at some point today and make a start this week.

Yesterday was a NSD and so should today, Need to cook some food up and freeze because it isn't getting used why OH isn't here. Dreading this weeks wage He only worked 1 day and the Saturday. Might have to use the 'saved' money for the hospital and pay it back as a priority.
