  • Thanks @Humdinger1 & @mumtoomany

    I’ve told the council and got my single person discount. I’m actually due a refund as I’ve overpaid for this financial year but am leaving it on the account to reduce future payments. I’ve also updated UC but the payments have gone down.

    I was hoping to have a productive day today but it’s not looking likely at the moment. I had a rubbish nights sleep (I’m in pain after falling down the stairs a few days ago and also had things on my mind) and DC3 is off school and just thrown up on the carpet. As a bare minimum I need to hang some washing and get the house tidied.
  • Just catching up on your diary Welshkitty and sorry that you have had such a time of it.

    I discovered my ex wasn’t who I thought he was…it was a shock and we all dealt with some horrible behaviours but life has been much more peaceful without the ex in our lives. 

    Thinking of you…
