Monthly debt/financial posts might be better psychologically. I know myself some weeks are worse than others for money but it tends to even itself out over the month. But just because you've said that's what you'll do, don't feel you have to stick to it

Being happy and debt free are 2 fabulous goals to aim for :T xx

Thank you Tea

Smalls eating dinner - I actually cooked dinner.

Waiting for the uniform to dry so I can iron it while they are in the bath.

Early night all round I think. Everyone's tired - ready for the weekend

Going to have a quiet weekend this week. Stay at home and craft etc and hope next weekend the weather's nicer and we can get out for a walk to the country park/duck pond. Youngests pushchair and things for it will be all up and running by then fingers crossed.

Your plans and goals sound great Wannabe. Is it even possible to get a better goal than 'be happy'? Hope you enjoy a relaxing weekend.

That sounds like a good plan. xx

I’ve been reading between the lines for a while and I’m not surprised you’re feeling as you do if my assumptions are anywhere near correct.

I just wondered if you drive? Or even if you wanted to drive? If your appeal ever comes through maybe you could apply for a motormobility car. It’d get you out and about locally or further afield if you wanted. The weather wouldn’t affect dd2 in a car as much as public transport. I could happily throttle whoever decided your dd2 was no longer entitled.

I think your plans are sounding good.

Well done on cooking - hope you ate a little of it too with the littlies.

I'd love to drive but I think that's a long way off. However the pushchair will make a huge difference. She's just far too big to carry everywhere now Well for me anyway.

Everyone's in bed and everything's done and ready for morning

Have some things to write and fill in (and I need to open the post - it can't just be me who leaves this so long? )

She’d be too big for anyone to carry Wannabe and I bet she will enjoy being out and about without the effort of walking and it affecting her chest and tiring her.....helping her enjoy her little outings more. I know from a family member how tiring poor lung capacity can be. Is it one of the big McClaren buggies you have - I had one of those when my big one was little. I used to walk with the handles loaded with my shopping. But because I’m only tiny the handles came quite high on me when I was pushing - the number of bruises I had on my chest as a wheel hit a bump and I carried on walking and crashed into the handle - at one time I had a double one - it was massive!!
Family fund gave me money toward driving lessons - I don’t know if they still do that - plus I think there’s a limit to how many times you can apply in any one year - they sent someone around to chat to me and see how they could help. I am going back a long time though but might be worth looking into.

Hang on in there - you’re doing great in very hard circumstances :T:T
