    Thank you all

    Youngest is sleeping so thought I'd try and get online before I head to bed myself.

    Haven't done much today. Nurse came to youngest and I sat and worked budgets and things out.

    I "borrowed" the £50 grocery budget from the bill account over the week between taxis etc. Hoping we can get the bus tomorrow so I don't need to pinch anymore as I'm already behind on the grocery budget now. It couldn't have been prevented though and it could have been worse.

    Have 2 back to back appointments tomorrow morning for myself and then one for youngest in the afternoon so busy day.

    Thank you again for popping in x

    Youngest is back to her steroid fuelled self!

    Got the appointments done. Can you believe it's still raining!! It's June! Ugh!

    Everything else is back on track and I'm feeling better about that side of things, I was really naughty and bought a paper cup coffee - I had a banging headache, it was cold and wet and I had to hang around for 50 minutes in between appointments :o

    Anyway tomorrow's thing at school has been cancelled because of the rain!

    I'm hoping to catch some sleep and an earlier night tonight. fingers crossed! Then I can be back to my normal self tomorrow
