Thank you PB I do feel a bit more in control now I'm back up to date with what I'd fallen behind on etc. Once today's appointment done I think we will have a quiet weekend. Hoping the weather is going to be as nice as they say it will be. Then they are back to school on Tuesday and back to our routine.

It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

Thank you all
Being caught up on the bills really makes me feel less anxious.
Today went okay, things in place and being sorted. Back again in 3ish weeks.
It's been such a busy day. We got the appointment done, went and collected youngest's shoes and had a free coffee. I took pack lunches for the smalls as we where out the house from first thing this morning and only just got home. However we where out much longer than planned so I had to buy them another drink
I managed to wait until my free coffee and I'll make some toast or something later.
So no where near a NSD with the train fare etc. It's going to feel a long 8 days now
but we are all okay and that's all that matters and I'm no longer behind on any of my bills etc and we have a holiday to look forward too.

Morning/afternoon no doubt by the time I click post.
Weather is beautiful. Been in a&e since 4am as I burnt myself rollyeyes needed. Today will be a NSD of course
Think I'm going to make the kids a picnic in the garden rather than go out for one. They can play with their toys etc then too.
Hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend.

Hope it wasn't too serious an injury missus, what on earth happened, if you don't mind my asking?

Hi WB Ouch to the burn. Must be pretty bad for an A&E visit
Hope you've had a nice day in the garden. In years gone by the padding pool would have been out by now but such things aren't requested any more. At least I don't have to sort arguments out about who splashed who :rotfl: xx0
