    Thank you. It's really annoying.
    Contact them and ask about an appeal process.

    They sent me a feedback form which I've replied to. It asks for your details so they can contact you back. I'll see if they get in touch and if not, that's a good idea thank you.

    How annoying about the CBT course, it's all about short term solutions due to funding issues.

    I hope the big item sold while you were at SW.

    Are you having a good weekend?

    Congrats on the sale.

    It's such a shame about the counselling.

    Your decluttering is phenomenal :)

    We had a lovely day out yesterday, it was nice to see the sun again!

    We went to the seaside for a few hours, then popped into a car boot sale, then stopped at a farm shop where there are lots of animals to see and tractors etc to play on. The kids absolutely loved feeding the chickens and it was so funny to see them running down the path with a large crowd of chickens running after them (the other side of the fence) :rotfl:

    The sun has gone again today which is a shame, so a quiet day at home. I've tidied the kids room yet again, tidied their toys downstairs yet again, and had a clean through. I am trying to keep on top of things better so it stays cleaner. I've meal planned for SW (gained 1lb last week so need to get on with it!), been shopping, and took the kids over to see an elderly neighbour as it was her birthday.

    Packed 4 parcels to go tomorrow and now trying to get some listing done.

    Hope everyone's had a good weekend. Little jwil has inset Thurs and Fri so I've got Friday off this week, looking forward to it!

    Thank you :) It would be nice if there wasn't so much to declutter :rotfl: I wouldn't know what to do with myself!

    The Dummy fairy has been shopping on amazon this morning. I am concerned about how attached little miss is to her dummy so would like to be strong and get rid of it so she can learn some other coping mechanisms when she's feeling sad or cross. She keeps sneaking upstairs for it (she's not allowed it in the day) so I would like to get that sorted.

    We've been talking about it for a while so I'm not springing it on her, she knows she can't have the dummy when she's 4 but I don't want to leave it til just before her birthday and ruin that!

    I asked her what she wants the dummy fairy to bring and it's a potty and some nappies for her baby. So I've ordered that and a book on giving up the dummy. We'll read the book and then when I'm feeling brave (or she volunteers) we'll go for it!

    I'll probably look for a token gift for little jwil as he never had a dummy so the dummy fairy didn't come for him.
