Thank you Susie.
I'm not one of these that say 'new year new me etc However I am heading into this new year with a total different outlook. A totally different plan and at a totally different situation to where I was this time 12 months ago. I'm happy about that. I hope it continues to improve and I will do everything possible to get us to where we need to be.
She is Beanie. I don't like posting too much here now because I'm aware things have been taken to real life etc. She's helping. There was a pause why elections where happening and currently she's rather slow but I appreciate her backing and the contacts she's given me access too for when the appeal is heard.

By the time the appeal finally happens, you will have a hell of a lot of ammunition to hit them with. All the hospital visits and extra things you have to do will fill a book, how they could deny it first time round beats me, I just hope it happens soon for you
I really hope next year is a LOT better for you than this one has been, and that the next few weeks give you a big improvement for DD

Yep anything new/progressions from then isn't taken into consideration.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0

Delurking,
Wishing you and the smalls a happy and healthy new year 0 -
Thank you I hope 2020 is nice to you all too
I'm determined this year will be better than last.
This month will be the last month we struggle as much as we do. We've got through with the help of others from support, to food, to gifts and everything else. I feel like I'm already counting on these changes working and things being a lot better come February. But even if these changes don't work as well as hoped things will still be different come then. This is an opportunity I had to take and pray it works out if not we'll still come out stronger than before.
The light really is shining bright at the end of the tunnel. I want to be able to make plans for the rest of the year. Have fun and create more memories doing fun things. I want to know we'll keep the roof over our head. Not worry about food and heating and just know the basics are covered. That's the goal for the beginning of the year.

Loads of good wishes for the coming year, Wannabe. What ever happens, it will be better because you're in it x I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
