WannabeFree

Bank Balance £4.42
- £10 phone top up

I walked to town and was bought a coffee so other than the phone credit and payment to council tax no other spends.

No plans for tomorrow so should be a NSD. DS is on a school trip and I don't have a drink in something he can throw away. We use reusable drinks bottles so I might have to buy him a small carton of juice if he can't take his drinks bottle.

Next week is busy with smalls appointments. I need to book eye tests for the smalls too.

We have sat and discussed birthdays tonight at dinner and the smalls have gave me cake ideas and things - have all the ingredients just need to get some more icing and a cake board (will use the same board for all 3 cakes) I have a £10 sainsbugs giftcard I will use for these things and any other treat bits for birthday food/cake.

Tomorrow I need to meal plan for next week. We have some things left over to carry forward. Hoping it leaves enough to pay the CT off this week

I've had requests for lego, minecraft, rainbow and princess cakes in the past. Luckily a combination of me not being too bad at making cakes and the DC's being easily pleased meant it all worked out fine. :rotfl: x

Cherryfudge

That's fab about the appointments and the CT
I've been following the MH comments too, with interest. I'm glad you mentioned it Wannabe, it's good to have people talking. Lots of us have or have had mental health problems (and some of us can't talk about our own issues). That's just how it is.
Anyway I hope you are having a relaxing evening, I am going to do my best not to be awake late!

I’ve spent the last few evenings reading your diary - I am full of admiration for you WF. The way you put your children 1st by cooking nutritious meals and spending time with them doing things is just fantastic. A role model for other parents - and the fact you are doing this on your own is just WOW - hope you’ve put your efforts every day on your WOW board.

I wish you could see yourself as I’ve seen you by reading this diary - a strong, dedicated lady struggling with her own health as well as raising 3 caring children and battling to keep a roof over their heads whilst all the time having the constant worry of a seriously poorly child - I’ve got no words - just :T :T:T:T

You have done so well getting your balances down - you put my debt battling to shame - took me years.

I know you worry about talking about MH issues and upsetting people - my take on it is - it’s your diary if you feel the need to talk - talk. If you don’t feel the need - you don’t need to. But it’s your choice - if it offends folk on here they can switch to a different thread. I’m just full of admiration and am subscribing (if you’ll have me )
