Morning, W. Not raining here yet but looking very grey.

Why don't you put your feet up for a bit and have a cuppa? xxx

Still waiting for the delivery of rain hood etc tea should be today/tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Cherry I will be home schooling youngest. Especially now she's unlikely to make it in as much as she had been and even that wasn't enough.

I have a cuppa and lots to sort out still. A new fight with the CT.

Still chin up and face it head on.

Hope you can get some stuff sorted and have a good day x

Is CT the council tax?

Glad that you got the delivery sorted out xx

Home schooling for the youngest sounds ideal in the circumstances.

With regard to your family on social media I think that unfollowing them is the ideal solution, that way you are still friends with them but don't have to see their posts and feel upset by them. That way if you should want to build any bridges in the future you can. But only you know how they make you feel, so you are the best judge.

I hope the rain hood etc arrive tomorrow .

Afternoon

Not a NSD needed bread and eggs bank balance now pennies no need to post it again until Friday.

Not done much other than phone calls today. Family fund are covering the majority of our holiday (£92 difference) However I can't bring it forward yet as I don't have my 'bit' as I don't want to take the others out of school so needs to be in the school holidays. Either way it means I have more chance of finding the 'bit' before it's due so we can go rather than cancel hopefully.

Had to press the emergency on the electric today (this is more of a note for myself so I can track how much more we are using with extra things using it)

Chicken rice and veg for dinner tonight it's on the go why the smalls play for half hour.

Don't think I've anything else to update. Tomorrow is my appointment day.

Be happy.

I can't change whats happening in 'life' just got to make the most of that too. Sitting angry and sad about it is wasting time I keep going on about I want to make the most off. This isn't making the most of it.

More changes. Cancelled the bus pass going forward for the next 11/12 weeks. Will use my legs and walk. Will cancel anything else that I can't walk too.

Thats great news about the holiday!
My authority provides tutors for home schooling - I did this for a while. It can help with getting resources and structure.
Not sure about walking/ cancelling apts - don't wear yourself out!

Morning

Thank you EG I am really pleased about the holiday too! I really thought I'd end up having to cancel.

I will have a look at the home tutors and speak to the support worker on Friday some support to get it right would be helpful thank you.

Appointment day today. Respite nurse is here and me and the older two are waiting to leave for school/town. No coffee today but I'll probably still make most of the alone time and just hang around

Hope you all have a lovely day
