    I am cross with DD, don't know what she's playing at. She has no interest in anyone other than herself and her damn computer games. She needs to grow up. Really don't know wrong where I went with her, DS is lovely, they were both brought up the same. She was such a loving little girl.

    Mr SA not too bad tonight, was worried after he slept for 4 hours - a bit deja vu with the start of it all 5 years ago. Seems ok now so fingers crossed. I can't help worrying when he gets so tired.

    Must go to bed soon, alarm set for 5am :eek: Looking forward to seeing my work mates though, I've missed them, they're a lovely bunch. I'm lucky I work with some fab people, even the high grade ones are lovely and were so supportive when Mr SA was ill.

    On the plus side just remembered it's a Bank Holiday next Monday - happy days :)

    have a look at low maintenance gardens online for ideas.
    I want rid of the grass in mine because of the mares tail, there's no way to get rid of it, so paving and/or chipings with raised beds and low maintenance bushes/trees/plants elsewhere is going to be my way to go.

    That's Monday done.

    Work ok, very busy, lots of catching up to do.

    Mock interview went well and I have a better insight in what I have to say tomorrow. Still scared stiff though. I'll be so glad when it's over.

    Mr SA had another toilet accident last night, I had to throw his pyjamas away they were in that bad a state. He doesn't seem too bad today, although I had a rambling phone call from him earlier.

    Even the dog seems off today, not eating and looking sorry for herself.

    Payday today, Tesco card cleared and £72.50 paid off the debt so down to a round £2500.

    Can't get my head round much else until this interview is over. Hopefully I won't be laid awake all night stressing.
