Ready for the next stage!

Thanks!
Received my £40 for the focus group and a £5 for selling some washing pods we won’t use (I’m very fussy about the smell!) so that’s not bad budget is doing ok

Finally received my appointment for the fatigue clinic, end of April. Still nothing from flipping student finance though!

It all helps keeping the books balanced.
Hopefully SF will pull their finger out and you'll hear something in the next few weeks.

I'd be interested in hearing what happens at your appointment(s) and how it helps you.

Will let you know @MovingForwards! 

Funnily enough my uni personal tutor specialises in fatigue (not at the clinic I’m going to) so although she can’t officially advise me, she’s sent me some links that will hopefully be helpful. 

Mini riot and I are going to make some cheese scones today to go with carrot soup for our lunch. Then we might try for a little walk in the snow.

Any help is good help.
Lunch and a snow walk sounds good, have fun!

Glad there is an appointment for you Riot. I hope they can offer help to make it easier.  Chronic conditions can be managed well and thank goodness for the NHS. Thinking of you.

Thanks all

More good news- my student finance has finally been approved! Should get paid by the end of next week just in time to pay nursery + bills at the start of March. So that’s a massive relief! 

I realised the final payment on our sofa should have been in January but I was charged again this month, so need to get on the phone tomorrow to sort that out. Then I’m going to add the £30 that cost to the savings direct debit that goes out every month (currently £150) so I don’t get used to having it to spend. 

Mini riot was awake a lot last night and I felt awful today, so took a day off uni work. I am just about on schedule at the moment so need to keep it going the rest of the week! 

Oven pizza for tea tonight as can’t be bothered with anything else!

Great news about student finance 🤗 Hope mini riot sleeps better tonight so you can get some rest 

MovingForwards

That is good news about SF and reallocating the sofa money. You've managed on your budget, so definitely save it.

Hope mini Riot has a restful night.

That's fine. I hope you feel ok. Some money stress is lessened which is good.

I hope you get a better night tonight. Great news about the student finance!
