    Sorry to hear your mum's had a bad day today. ☹️
    Good luck going forward with the bonds!👍 Funnily enough after discussing the PBs, I woke up this morning to an email to confirm I'd won £75 in November's draw!  Hopefully I'll catch up with you!😃

    I tried to post the other day but it kept deleting. 
    Fantastic news about the debts. Both nearly under £1k!
    And £275 has been an upside of not buying straight away. 
    How are you? Body behaving better with the diet? Or are you just not even having the space to think about it? Xxx
    Loan 1 £5200/£8000
    Loan 2 £300/£5800
    Total £5500/£13800

    Considering putting my excess in my eldest daughters name rather then the bank just for a few months but not sure it’s totally correct but it’s very tempting 
    well done on your wins , it’s a lovely feeling

    I guess it’s a small win whilst house prices run away madly

    i still have some painful days but on a whole there has been an improvement even if it’s just creating less gas

    Please don't.  If you are going to be buying a house then the lawyers won't accept those monies.  It's all about money laundering.

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I had a feeling that it might impact the house purchase in some way , I know its not entirely legit to do so however it is very tempting , thanks for the heads up

    thanks buffy 
    we never know how each day will be do we , the district matron called me recently and said respite would be available without charge at a care home but I really don't think mum would buy in to that idea and I wouldnt make her go.
    The nursing team popped in to her yesterday just to check her over , there isn't much you can do when someone is just frail without any obvious medical symptons but he spent about 5 minutes telling mum how lucky she was to have me care for her and how most of the patients he visits are very poorly with no family around them - it makes me very sad that that is how it is for a lot of people.
    My mum just said to him "I'm extremely lucky" 
    I know I complain about circumstances but my mum really has much more to complain about with the hand she has been dealt so we just drive on and show the same bravery and courage that she is herself.
  • Not a bad day 
    bought 2 Xmas presents on Amazon for NM little grandsons , one a half price Lego set and the other a traditional wooden learning toy , both reduced so MSE 
    need to start acquiring a few gifts so 23 for these two was pretty good going 

    waiting for my sister to come so I get over to NM for a chill out whilst he’s at work 
    I’ve got my first period in 3 months and I’m suffering terribly so it will be a little gin and a nice soak in the bath whilst watching the football. Tempted to swing past our local marks and Spencer for a little browse as I know they have a special on bath bomb sets which would be handy for NM daughters 
    might just get in the car and drive though the way I’m feeling
