    Your post this morning just sounded wonderfully balanced, you are right to ask the kids dad to support and it's great you are making yourself a priority too!

    Glad the appointment was good and what is keeping that cheque!!

  • Morning

    Thank you

    Older two in school and youngest is okay. Still up and down breathing wise.

    Anyway waiting for the postman in the hope he has the cheque then I can head into town to cash it and put it in the bank today.

    No other plans. The sun is shining and the cleaning is done.

    Have a lovely day

    Catching up after not being on here much this week.
    Apologies if I’ve picked this up wrong, but it sounds like you are planning to use a cheque cashing place rather than putting the cheque straight into the bank. If that’s the case, please ask at your bank how long they take now to process cheques first. A lot of them are doing next day clearance as standard now. That way you’ll get the whole £50 Xx

    Good news on no need for an appointment for a year. And well done for going to your own appointment and getting their dad to have them whilst you go next time :T
    I was in big town near us last week - don’t know if you’re heading there at all - but near Northern Warehouse there’s a massive fake beach with sand - there were lots of folk having picnics on stepped seating around the edges and children of all ages playing. I thought of you for a cheap day out maybe coupled with MOSI which is free to get in...not sure if you’ve got to head that way for any of your appointments...
