And I'm back
Again.
I feel a bit better in myself now after having some really low points. I think I'm getting through to the other side now. Still quite worried about stuff But there's many in worse situations and I need to remember that.
The weather has been weird. It went from really hot to really wet! Really really wet!
We've made the most of as much time as possible out the house when we can though. It saves electric and it keeps the smalls entertained for free. Win win!
Hope everyone is well and I will be back more regularly now.
Thank you again for all the support and texts to check in

What stationary does he need? I might be able to help as I've got some spare since changing jobs.0

I'm assuming just the basics? It doesn't say and the letter only came Thursday morning It just states stationary on the list.
Beanie logo is compulsory
and it's a colour that isn't sold in supermarkets either. The trousers/dresses and polo shirts will come from the supermarket though. I won't get the shoes/pumps or trainers from the school shop either will look around for those. I got their coats from the supermarket too as it was less expensive than the uniform shop too.
I also only buy one set each. I wash everyday anyway.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

Wannabe, I have loads of those calculators at my parents in storage, I won't be at theirs until around the end of Aug I don't think, but can grab one and send it your way? Otherwise they cost about £8 in Rymans or WHsmith xDebt Totals July 2019::

I couldn't agree more. Completely unnecessary. I just don't see what it achieves apart from costing parents more for the uniform.Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.0 -
I hope you can be gifted a calculator, but if not, my DS’s teacher told them to buy a scientific calculator from Poundland as they do the same job as the more expensive one. Hope that helps.
What size clothes etc do you need to DS’s residential? XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
