Thank you so much for the replies. I was worried it would offend someone It's just hard looking back at photos etc that this time 4 years ago she was the 'perfect healthy' newborn. We where all so excited etc. Yet we only got 2 weeks of the happiness before it was taken away and what a journey it's been since!

Anyway she seems to still be going in the right direction again. We are mainly dealing with the side effects of the meds (yep not even 2 hours sleep :cool:) Least she's feeling better though.

Mse ways have mainly been stuck too. Didn't eat takeaways or spend on lots of rubbish. She loved her birthday gifts/cards and cake. I think she had an amazing day even if the most was spent in her downstairs bed. She loves the attention.

Hope everyone is well, will try and catch up over the weekend x

Yesterday was 10 months into debt busting.

The only debt's left now are

Council Tax £2400 (£1319.12 being 18/19 bill)
Rent arrears £2990 (Which nearly half are the court costs so wasn't included in my balance up until these last few weeks)

So actual Debt is less than half of those numbers. All going in the right direction
