Morning WB. Hope you're feeling a bit less anxious now that the day has started and the DC's are up and keeping you on your toes I always think things feel worse at night when we lie there over-focusing.

It's lovely here again today. Why not try to get out for a little walk and some sunshine and fresh air before you spend the next few days cooped up in hospital.

Fingers crossed this week goes well and you manage to co-ordinate everything without becoming too stressed. Remember I don't live too far away if you desperately need anything. xx

Debt
Council Tax £0
Credit card £0
Rent arrears £0
Court Costs £494

Total £494


Bank Balance now £0.28

I'm thinking for 3 days
£54 for school + £2 Snack
£24 for dinner for smalls for the 3 evenings (looked and it's at least £4 each - will take juice and use tap water for drinks)
£10 coffee (1 a day) Shouldn't be budgeting this really
£15 Not sure about dinner for me, will try to grab toast I think but £5 a day should more than cover 'something'

£27 Travel - hoping to taxi to school but walk back and then walk to collect and taxi back - I will make it the smalls won't that early/late! Could be more this


Okay so United Utilities got back to me (I paid this weeks anyway) but apparently I was already behind from September. So have sent the bank balance of £33 over and will catch up the rest on Friday.

Thank you for the replies.


We got out early this morning for a walk. Some fresh air

Smalls just eating lunch and think I might make myself some soup. Not sure what to do for dinner tonight I forgot to lift anything out. Maybe jacket potato.

Got quite a list of things to get done today. Also spoke to crisis team to see if I can increase some meds as rescue meds to make me feel a little better.

Can't wait for the week to be over. Going to try and fit the train fare to the beach in once we are out. Spend the day absorbing sea air sounds amazing.

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday

Hi WB, glad you've managed to get out for some fresh air. There's not much left in your bank is there Did you have to send the money to UU straight away? I'd have been inclined to hang on to it for another week or two to tide me over and then pay it back.

Hope you manage to find the train fares for the beach, that would be something for you all to look forward to when you get out of hospital.

What time can you ring in the morning to see if the bed's available. Hope it's early on so you're not worrying about it for longer than necessary. xx

I didn't ask about waiting Tea I was mortified I was behind. The missed payments where in August/September so quite a while!

Can call from 7am (you know I'll be on the phone at 7am :rotfl:)

I really hope you manage to get in. I know you're not looking forward to it but it's obviously stressing you out so it would be good if you could get it done and dusted. Not to mention the fact that you might actually get some answers about DD2.

Are you working to going in on Tuesday or is there a possibility they could say come now and if so are you ready for that?

I'd have been so mortified at owing UU I wouldn't have been able to think straight and would've had to call them back They're obviously not missing it just yet as they've not asked for it and I know you don't want any debt hanging around your neck but it might have helped not to send it this week. Anyway, it's paid now so that's good xx

Yes thinking of you this wek, I hope you get in and get it all over and done with. Good to have the beach to look forward too as well.

It would be lovely is you could fit in the beach trip afterwards .

I hope you get a bed tomorrow when you ring.

Tomorrow morning Tea. Fingers crossed

I'm so tired. Running on 2 hours sleep is something I don't think I'll ever get use too!

Smalls are all ready for bed and are reading their school books. Bags are ready and lunches etc. Need to polish their shoes and do some chores still.

Quite aware of how I feel and the struggles I've posted and behind the scenes. Meh! This is the time I went quiet and stopped posting when all this happened last. I can't do that now as I know it just made things worse when I wasn't keeping track. But I do apologise for my boring posts

You are never boring and although I rarely post I follow your diary closely. My admiration for what you achieve is unbounded. You have dealt so courageously with all that has been thrown at at you and I am sure I would not have been as organised and caring as you are.:A
