Thank you
I'm not sure what will be slacked off on but it will be something.
Busy day again today. Older two had a party in town early on. We went there (£10.50 for youngest to play
but I couldn't have made her sit with me for 2 hours watching)
We went into town seeing we where there already and picked some bits of things up. DD fell and bashed her face. She looks like she's been in a fighting ring :cool: It looks much worse than it actually was and she was more upset she's ruined her new t-shirt :rotfl:
The bills/debts are still ticking over. Waiting for all the new (no doubt higher) bills to come in for the new tax year before I make a plan of attack for everything.
Have a small emergency fund building up.
Things have been going better with smalls dad etc and we are on really good terms. I think we've both changed in ways we needed.
Smalls are back to school Monday so tomorrow will be spent getting things ready. As well as F1 and a roast of course
Hope everyone is well

So glad things seem to be a bit better for you. You're sounding a lot more positive.
You'll be horrified at me too. I've given up ironing anything other than the absolute necessities. Can't believe the amount of time, energy and (probably electricity) that it's saving me.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0 -

I dare say I'm feeling back on the up again. Some big appointments this week and hoping are all are good news
DD seems okay she just doesn't look it I feel like I have to explain myself to every passer by that stares in horror!
We all seem to have got over the cold other than DS with his man flu. He likes to drag it out and get as much sympathy as possible :rotfl:
I've been playing with spreadsheets a friend sent and I've spent far too many hours playing with it in the early hours of the morning. I think I'm starting to 'get' it It's only took months

Great to hear that you and the wee cheeky crew are on the mend
...and glad to hear your getting to grips with spreadsheets. If you need any help let me know BUGGRITMILLENIUMHANDANDSHRIMP I TOLD EM! - Foul Ole Ron
It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

I even resorted to shouting [STRIKE]bad[/STRIKE] nice words at it to just do what I needed! :rotfl:
Thank you

Thank you
Still trying to catch up with everyone. Slowly
Not a NSD again today. Calpol and juice. I also should have topped up the gas and electric but forgot I should have done it Friday :rotfl: Will remember tomorrow.
Smalls should be back at school tomorrow but DS is unwell and so is youngest.
We had a lovely Roast today and have just pottered. F1 was great to watch, although the pit incident was scary. Good race otherwise though.
