Thank you
Not quite morning
We aren't going far today. The weather is so nice! I really wanted to go to the beach but I can't fit the train fare in this week. Will do it on another week when the weather is nice. Think we'll just have a walk to the local park. It's been set on fire by local teens though! So it was a right state yesterday.
Smalls are eating lunch then we'll go for a walk let the older two burn some energy off
Hope you all have a good day and have the sun as nice as we do

It was nice earlier here. It's gone quite cold now!
We didn't venture out my heads up side down today. Not with it
Smalls have played board games though and had the crafty stuff out. They are in the bath now ready for bedtime.

My anxiety is driving me insane and I think I've been out of bed more than in it :cool: it's so comfortable though!“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
I hope your anxiety calms down a bit soon. You've got so much on your plate, it's not surprising xx"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

I'm sure that after this week things will settle down a bit and you can get back to normal - it's getting through till then that's so hard.
I expect all your lists are in place... maybe you could focus on a list or two for nice things to look forward to?
We are all behind you cheering you on... and mentally going ahead of you to get everything in place for as smooth a stay as possible.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
