Darling WF

Many many congratulations. You've got here when so many wouldn't and all down to your own grit and determination. The unicorn cake will have to stand in for the real live unicorn you deserve. You're a fab mother and all round human being. Love Humdinger

Oh brilliant news on the arrears. Thrilled for you, you would have got it there by end of the year but to have it gone now is wonderful. Great that you were able to get some help and have that horrible weight lifted off your shoulders.
Hopefully littlest one is well enough for school and you can do your birthday challenge. Either way hope you have a lovely birthday and the kids enjoy decorating the unicorn cake. You all deserve the celebration.

Wow, that is wonderful news. I think you are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I sent the card for DD. I saw the unicorn and thought of you. Just passing help I had when my children were small forward. I am sure you will do the same one day.

I take the day off from reading the diaries for my birthday (we are almost birthday twins but I fear I am old enough to be your mum despite having smalls younger than yours:rotfl: and I definitely have the urge to look after you ) and come back to this amazing news.

Well done my love you are an inspiration. I sincerely hope this is the star of no more worried for you and yours as

I am thrilled to here your news:j Not just because it has cleared the debt but that it allows you to sort out other worries too.

A big :kisses3:to whoever/whatever made this wonderful birthday gift happen.

DS and I absolutely love enchiladas but I can't eat packet enchilada spices anymore because they aren't gluten free so I use this recipe.

1 carton of passata
1 to 1.5 cups of water

2tsps mild chilli powder
2 tsps. paprika
2 tsps. cornflour
1.5 tsps. salt
1.5 tsps. onion granules
1 tsp sugar (I often leave this out)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic granules
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

It is about the same heat as the packet mixes. I once made it with chilli powder that comes in the big packets in the Asian aisle in the supermarket and after adding another 2 lots of passata, water, sugar and everything it said on the internet to cool it down I had to admit that it was inedible and chuck it
