Afternoon all,
Didn't get much done today while kids were at school. I went into work early yesterday and was knackered today.
Ive got a few things I want to get done before I'm back at work on Saturday.
I have a phone call with mind tomorrow to see if they are able to offer me some support ie my bipolar. Nervous but glad I phoned them the other day.
Lunches are done for tomorrow.
Will get a few things done before I pick up ds1 from his friendsJune 17 £16,000 debt ~ nov 18 DEBT FREE •June 21 £16,308 debt / july 22 debt free •Original mortgage free date 01/06/2059 current mortgage free date 01/05/20463 -
Morning my beautiful diary friends,
just checking in. Hope you are all well. Since I last posted I seem to have developed a cold that I think has gone to my chest. Feeling really rough as I've only been getting a couple of hours sleep a night. I had 4 days off back today (just the way the rota fell) I had 2 days where I was quiet productive and 2 days where I ended up resting. I feel like I'll never get on top of everything 😪. I have the day off tomorrow and my grandma has the kids this weekend (I'll be working in the afternoons) I have half term booked off but that is so I can make memories with the kids not clean like a crazy women.
I'm hoping to get downstairs completely done by the end of the month and then ill work on the rest of the house. I guess if downstairs is done and I don't feel embarrassed to open my front door I'll hopefully be able to find the courage to sort the rest out.
We have accumulated so much stuff since moving here 2 and a half years ago. It's like to let go .. I'm aiming for a calm organised minamilist home. I've decided to start taking before and after photos to document our progress. Hopefully it will give me the fuel to continue. I will by the end of the year have a home I am proud of. I have some major work that Need doing around the home so these jobs will also get done which may mean I'm not completely debt free by the end of the year but that's okay. This is my one allowed spend outside of my frugal budget. We don't go out much so I want a home I can be proud of and relax in. Lots to do, some jobs we will be able to do ourselves I'll share photos of the transformation for anyone else who is embarking on this journey 😊

Hello my beautiful diary friends,
We have ds2 2nd and possibly last appointment tomorrow for his neurodevelopmental assessment. We have waited since he was 2 for diagnosis he's now 8. I have mixed emotions the only diagnosis he has had since 18 months is global delay. This might change tomorrow. He now no longer fits that diagnosis under physical development, he is definitely delayed mentally and we suspect possible autism or adhd. Tomorrow (Monday) is a huge day for us. He's still our amazing little boy. He has complex needs within meeting his needs. And truthly without it he wouldn't be who he is. But if I could I would take it all away because watching him struggle is hard. Knowing that he will probably depend on us for the rest of his life and might never live on his own unless he has support, we accepted that years ago. But it still hurts. I don't think he realises he is different to his peers. He is full of such innocence and is so pure, he sees the world in a way I wish I always saw the world. He doesn't see hurt. To him everyone is wonderful everyone is kind.
Please keep us in your thoughts.

Sending you hugs and thinking of you and your amazing little one x1
