Think it's nearly bed time for me I'm so tired. Can't believe we are a week into the new year already!
Feel anxious tonight and yet I have no real reason. Just can't seem to settle it.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
I feel antsy too

Look at it this way WB.
People would not offer to help in whatever way if they did not want to.
People offer to help me & now 9 times out of 10 I now accept.
A friend helped me with a couple of things in the house the other day that I can no longer manage.
It only took them about 10 minutes and we were both happy!I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Thank you Beanie, I always worry how I come across. Even my posts on my diary/other diaries I'm worried it comes across wrong and I'll offend someone
I do always try to help where I can and I will definitely pay it forward and help others when and where I can in the future.

Glad the children had a good day at school.
Lots of helpful advice for you re: home ed. I think you would be excellent at it. It may be the perfect answer for you and your little one. I'm sure you will give it a lot of thought, tbh if school places aren't too much of a problem near you I think i would give home ed a chance.
The school years fly by, seems only yesterday I was taking my eldest to nursery - now she drives herself to Uni !!!! the time has gone in the blink of an eye:cool:0 -
Thank you Beanie x
Thank you too LMW here isn't a very desirable area as you probably know and there is quite a few okay school choices.

Cashed out £5.90 from PA. Not sure what it will be after fees but will send straight over to the credit card when it hits
or maybe towards DS's trip :cool: Decisions. “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
