Thanks all

Another week has nearly passed. DS is much better and will be back to school on Monday. Youngest is still stuck with a nasty chest infection and her appointment didn't go as well as I had hoped. Will know more on the 18th May when we see another new specialist.

All minimum payments have been met, so at least everything is still going in the right direction.

Hope everyone else is well
Will try and catch up abit x

Great news that DS is better, but sorry about the youngest. I hope you're finding some time to look after yourself Wannabe.

I'm trying HH. I think it's a long wait to find answers. Answers that could be life changing iykwim?

I mean she's always been a worry obviously but this isn't something small. I guess I should be greatful we've pushed in the waiting list and got one in May some people wait months and months.

I really hope you find out what's going on so that she can have the best possible treatment. Try not to worry too much.

Some of these as you know where cleared with help etc. But it places the picture of how things stand today compared to when I started. Only the Council Tax and Rent are mine. The fine isn't.

I don't really have a list of goals this month. I haven't even thought about it to be honest. Maybe daily lists are the way to go for now. One step at a time/one day at a time.

Just opening my post and my credit union savings account is open and youngest has got into the same school as the other two. A bit dissapointed as this wasn't my first choice, however it is okay.

I have a confession .. We have a puppy coming to us on the 29th

All 'looking after' expenses should be covered by smalls dad. However I have enough room in the budget should it be needed. Our old girl is well old and after her surgery to remove some cancer on her girly bits last year has she her age suddenly hit her. We aren't replacing our girl. That isn't what I mean but we do hope the pup can learn some of old girls good behaviour and manners

Anyway confession over .. better than a pregnancy of my own I guess :rotfl:

A daily list sounds like a good idea W but maybe just a small one so you don't feel stressed out if you don't/can't get things done.

Aww a puppy sounds lovely & great that smalls dad is paying the expenses. :T Hope it's not too much hard work but maybe your old girl will help keep the newcomer in line. As you know I have cats so I'm not very clued up on dog behaviour although I love them. They're so enthusiastic whereas cats really...aren't. :rotfl:

Fingers crossed for youngest's appointment in May.
