    Hi taxi, sorry to hear about the worries with your family. Having a 3yo can be really stressful, I remember times with my twins when I wished someone would come and take them off my hands.

    If she's worried about his behaviour she could talk to her HV for advice, but it does seem very likely he's just picking up on her stress and acting up.

    What an awful worry about her partner, thank goodness it's not too long a wait.

    That must all be a big worry, but putting that all to one side - how fabulous you have paid that money off your Halifax card, good to see the total make a big jump downwards. You are paying debts off even faster than Hypno!

    Taxi is queen of the debt repayments :D

    I hope family "stuff" proves to be easily sorted xx

    Thanks for the replies ..he seems normal to me even if he's very active.Hes not "naughty" for me just a happy little chap..I wouldn't let him go in care anyway.
    Shes on the phone to her sister at the moment and updating her CV...I think going back to work would do her good.Tuesday is a big day for her and depending on what they come up with(hopefully good news) then we'll see where we go from there.
    Seaxwyn don't kid yourself...I will revel in my short lived victory on the debt busting front for now as Hypno will overtake me again very shortly....
    Its not a race anyway really is it?..as long as its going down its positive news.It does feel like cheating as it came from the care sale but on the other hand it isn't as its just like a big e-bay sale but easier...
    had loads of calls for the car again today...
  • Morning Mrs - hope you got a good nights rest after yesterdays traumas. Youre right that its not a race but you are so motivated at paying your debt off which is why (wthere you like it or not!!) youre an inspiration o us me thinks. Whenever I get money I just think oooo what can I buy (clear explaination of hw I got here in the first place lol!!) rather than ooo good I ca pay X off - must shift my brain me thinks!! What have you planned today? I want to get my CJ finshed plus go to alltment again. Feeling quite stiff today so in need of movement! Hugs for you!

    Hi taxi

    I had a declutter day yesterday, didn't know about your trauma with DD and DGS.... you're right, he does sound like a bouncy little boy, my (grown) nephews can remember all sorts of things they did when they were that age, and they're all fine and living good lives. Your daughter is so young to cope with a 3 yo and the worry of her partner's biopsy, I think you're right that that's what's going on.

    And in the midst of the family stuff - debt repayment continues! Great stuff, you do so much. Its not a race, but I think when we're actively trying to repay and not just letting the monthly repayments take their course, it helps to get some friendly comparisons going. Everyone is still chuffed for everyone else, so there's nothing wrong with it.

    Afternoon everyone...sorry I wasn't around yesterday to reply as I was at work all day and then came home and fell asleep all night until 3am when I got up again and went to work at 5am and decided to finish at 12 as its too quiet.
    I managed to cancel the advert today ,do my banking and take the insurance certificate in for repayment of the car insurance premiums for the Zafira...they say I should have the cheque wednesday...it should be just over £100 so will pay that off the CC...also need to update sig as £82.40 has come out of my bank this morning for the halifax card.
    DD says DGS is behaving ...she has an interview at the gym that my other DD works at on wednesday..so we'll see what comes of that but crisis over at the moment..though her DP is at the hospital tomorrow and we shall have to see what news that brings he is having a scan and a biopsy...it's all very worrying...going to catch up with everybody now xx
    Just updated my sig to reflect another £40 towards the back door

    Hi everyone...just updated sig to reflect another £35 added to the door total...this came from my loose change 1p ,2p and 5ps..
    DDs partner went to hospital today and the tests are inconclusive so he has to be fast tracked for another scan in the next week and then have the lump removed.They said there is a 90 /95% chance of success if the worst comes to the worst..so its not all over yet!!!..she has her interview tomorrow.
    Apart from that nothing interesting to report as work was very slow today..
  • afternoon mrs T! Hugs for you as it must be a worry but good that nowt from the tests - it could just be a lump like I had which they remove & away you go! Fingers crossed for this & [EMAIL="DD@s"]DD's[/EMAIL] interview tomorrow. Keep us posted. Well done on the extra money. I have a dilemma about my change (see diary) - its a tough one!

    Hey Taxi - what a stressful time for you and your family. Big hugs to D and her OH. With your DGS sounds to me it sounds like normal toddler behaviour too but the stress of her OH will be making everything worse I'm sure.
    Great about the car! :)
