Thank you just a waiting game now I guess
Anyway smalls all bathed and ready for bed. Youngest has been sick again. Never ending so she won't be in school. I feel awful but I'm worried I have an important appointment on Tuesday so she needs to be in school then
Arghh! Obviously her health comes first and I will rearrange if needed but I really don't want to after waiting so long for it and it is important.
I have so much on these next few weeks we have no time to be poorly anymore :rotfl:
I also STILL need to pay for the school trip for youngest Hoping they will wait till next Friday Will speak to school tomorrow. She probably won't even get to go! but that's another argument.
Appointment Tuesday is in big town, tempted to walk so I can use my bus fare on a coffee Priorities right? :cool: “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
I hope DD is better. Walking so you can get a coffee sounds like a fair compromise!"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

The following may not be a good idea as I'm pretty sure it would have a negative effect on your benefits, but would they allow you to provide emergency cover rather than contracted hours?I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
