Sorry

My anxiety etc has been bad. I think a mix of the weeks appointments and then my own doing of switching everything to direct debits has made the payment dates on things and some things have needed paying twice the amount as I was paying a week behind rather than on time it's all a bit much - all my own fault for doing everything at once and not thinking about it I have to remember it will all be worth it. I need to get straight and build a small buffer in there up and in the long run it will be much better and cheaper.

Still no cheque which is annoying so have sent an email to chase that up with no reply yet.

Thank you for all stopping in, hopefully the new meds and things will be working better before the smalls break up from school.

Don't beat yourself up over the direct debits - as you say, in the long run it will be better this way. Stressful for you now, of course.

Medication can take a while, I gather, and sometimes things can feel worse before they feel better which is, I imagine, pretty grim. Quite a few of the hard days are already behind you now though, and things will be better soon.

Hi WB Sorry to hear your anxiety has reared it's head again, especially when you've been doing so well and feeling positive and in control of things lately. Fingers crossed the meds level out soon for you.

Hope the DC's enjoyed their weekend and their sleepovers. We're on countdown to half term here as well Just one week for us though. xx

Hello W

Some (maybe quite a few) years ago I was running around paying things by cash/cheque. What a difference when you do it by DD. It is a bit difficult for the first month or so but once it's all in place you will really notice the difference. You'll know when your bills are coming out you won't even think about it. Just make sure the money is in the account and it's all done. Really will save you the stress and probably money too.

Your doing really well. xxx

Good news about the hospital appointment and at least you can put it to the back of your mind for now.

Sorry to hear your anxiety is back, no doubt the cheque not arriving has played its part in that. Hopefully the meds will kick in soon and you'll feel easier xx

Thank you

I know it's been the right thing to do switching to direct debits. It means so much less worry etc once it's all settled. The account will look after itself and it will grow a small buffer monthly. It's just getting this first month out the way as I hadn't factored in the dates changing and some things being double the weekly amount I budget. I'm sure it will work out soon though and I feel better knowing once its straight then it will be so much less worry.

Smalls didn't end up sleeping out. We haven't done anything really but we did do some planting of things outside this morning

Thanks again

I promise you it will work out if you can just hang in there for a few weeks.

You must take care of yourself. xxx
