Checked for email to confirm what time I had booked a grocery delivery for. No email found. Checked for order and discovered everything was still in the checkout basket. So we have had to visit Mr T for a big shop horror.

Hi flyfriends x
I'll be back in from Monday now I have a broadband connection! Things have been pretty rough the last couple of months. OH and I split up, DD and I ended up in a homeless unit after sleeping on a friends floor for a few days. We now have a really nice flat and I'm starting to get back on my feet. Got took on full time at work so that's came at a good time.
Hope you are all doing well, I've missed being here.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0 -

Hi FFP sorry to hear you've been through such a bad time but well done on full time work and good luck in your new home.
I am in from Monday Hope everyone is well I am determined to stay on top of things this week and get some jobs I have been avoiding done.

So here's to a new week and start of a new month Financially other hafes pay day is 21st of month.0 -

Thanks everyone xxx
DD has been coping really well in fact she is more relaxed now, which has made me realise that I have done the right thing. It's been a horrid time but I'm on the up again now. DS1 and 2 are taking things in their usual laid back way and SS is fine about it all too.
Piggers I was thinking of you the other day too when I got a text from one of my pals who was at the fair!
Today has been brought to me by...
Building 2 x chest of drawers
Filling them in a neat and orderly fashion
Putting up the scullery blind
Washing and managing to break the door on the WM that I just got second hand
Working out I can still use the WM if I use a bit of gaffa tape although I'm not brave enough to leave the scullery when it's on!
School and work stuff ironed and hung up.
Packed lunch stuff organised.
