Evening
Thanks all
She's had the most wonderful day.
She has one of her friends sleeping over (Don't you love how kids put you on the spot in the worst moment they can?) Although she seems to have chosen a quite one and they are quietly playing upstairs (at this time
doing nothing for my anxiety about bedtimes but trying to remind myself it's a one off!)
She has some amazing cards and presents.
Thank you for all the Birthday wishes
Hope everyone is well, I will catch up tomorrow. Now I'm going to crash on the sofa and not move :rotfl:“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

Glad DD enjoyed her birthday xx"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

Thank you Both girls where fab, went to sleep quite late but they where in bed quiet. DD had the 'best birthday ever' Makes it all worth it.
I've slept most of the day and now feel a little more human, just as Wednesday is approaching again :cool:
Want to try and fit doing something in with the kids over half term and DD wants to spend some of her birthday money. Probably do this tomorrow and Tuesday then they will be out Wednesday with my sister and hopefully I can find someone to entertain them Thursday and Friday. I don't want them stuck in bored over half term.

I haven't received the letter from Council tax yet, however looking at my online account they have accepted the £26 a week.
Tomorrow I also need to food shop! I still haven't been!!

Glad DD enjoyed her birthday. You're doing well with the bill paying. Fingers crossed the council tax payments have been accepted now.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

Hope you manage to get a couple of decent days with the smalls before your next hospital trip.

I think it has SA looking at the payment schedule it says £19 next Friday and then £26 every Friday after. Should make things easier. That means the CT debt will be gone in 12 months.
I think it's a bit of an unrealistic target to say I want to clear my rent arrears in that time but maybe 18 months? Will have a play around tomorrow.
Bill paying is leaving things so tight with the smalls birthdays. Can't wait until this time next month when it's all done!
