Morning

We've been up and out. Walked to the post box and walked back through the park. Smalls are just eating an early lunch (that's what happens when they wake at 5am!) And then I need to get on with finishing the cooker as half of it is soaking in the bath!

Once I've done the cooker I want to try and get outside cleaned up. Need to go over the meal plan and set it out on the calender.

Hope you all have a lovely day

Afternoon.

Still no cheque they are going to cancel the one that's been sent and reissue in June's payment run so it should be here around the 14th.

Tomorrow is the last 'payday' needed to completely catch up on everything. Then from next Friday we will have our grocery budget etc back. It has taken just less than a month to get everything on to direct debit and covered on the right dates. It's taken a lot of help and been a bit miserable but I'm hoping by this time next week it will all be balanced and feel completely worth it. Not going to lie it's been difficult.

The rain is here so we are going to get on the sofa and watch a movie I think

Hello W

I remember the problems you had with the smalls dad in the past and whilst it's good that he is now spending some time with them I think you're very wise not to rely on him or get involved i his "issues".

That's great that everything is back on track. I can imagine it's been difficult but if anybody can sort this out you can.

Rain here too. I'm watching an old Poroit. Enjoy your movie. xxxx

Good news on everything being nearly back on track
Dire weather today here.
How is DD2 today? x

We've had dire weather too this afternoon, hard to believe a heatwave is allegedly starting tomorrow.

I'm glad you're en route to being back on track, the only way is up from now

Morning

Yesterday when I said 'tomorrows payday' I meant Friday's. I clearly lost a day Because today is only Thursday!

Youngest isn't as wheezy since the steroids but she sounds chesty now. Going to get her checked at the GP tomorrow.

We have some things to get done this morning before the fun stuff later.

Hope you all have a lovely day

Evening

Smalls got birthday cake

Anyone bank with nationwide know about the fees for returned direct debits? Is it capped at a certain amount? I'm trying to work it out so I'm prepared.

Received the planner for the last 6 weeks of school and is it only our school who seem to have something on nearly every single day?! Although one of those is another day off

Smalls want to try and get to soft play before the end of this half term. It's still on Groupon but at £7.50 now so I'm hoping to fit it into next Friday's budget (when the grocery budget is back)

We have no plans tomorrow day but tomorrow evening we have a community thing to attend.

My boilers broke again so no doubt will have to wait in tomorrow morning for them to come out to that.

Hope you've all had a lovely day

I don't bank with them sorry... someone will know though, or it may be on their website.

Yay to cake! Hopefully no adverse reactions this time.

And 'Oh no!' to the boiler. Is it no hot water again?
