Thank you DFW, 2 jobs that I thought I liked the look of have been applied for. Still not sure if I want to go, as maybe they can put some things in place but in the end they are taking my favourite bits away from me. Maybe they have a bigger plan for me, but if they do they need to tell me before I go.
DD1 has panic attacks but normally she just feels dizzy and faint but heart is racing, this seemed different. As she was bent over the bonnet of the car in pain she told pharmacist that this was not a panic attack as she knows what they are like lol. It still could have been but if so we need to see if there is anything we can do for them as she cant have that each time. She was still in her work uniform which looks very much like a paramedics uniform. The pharmacist kept talking to her in medical jargon which she loves and didn't feel like she was a child (even though she made mummy come with her to the appointment!). She plans on keeping the uniform for future trips to medical centres as it seems to get you a better service lol.
Meeting a friend for a little lunch and walk around some shops later. As we are both busy we don't get to meet up a lot, so will have a lot to talk about that is for sure. I will be on the look out for birthday and Christmas bits.
Before that though I need to read through the maintenance loan paperwork and find an envelope to send it off, visit the post office, clean out the fridge and then do the food shop. Will drop DD2 off at the gym while shopping and then pick her up after. Also have a pile of washing that needs doing so must get going.Me, DD1 19, DS 17, DD2 14, Debt Free 04/18, Single Mum since 11/19

Caught up with my friend and the only things I came home with were the 2 free items from lidl. I have taken photos of a few items that might work for birthdays but will look elsewhere first.
I dropped DD2 off at the gym earlier and then popped into work. Saw line manager and had another cry but at least they are fully aware of I feel, and were grateful that I discussed it with them. They are going to do what they can do to help and I will hopefully be going in next week to sort my new desk out (depending if we can get in there).
I then went to lidl but only for a few items to get through tonights dinner. Collected DD2 and came home in time to meet friend. I couldn't post the maintenance loan as DD1 had missed one of the signatures off, but will put it in the post tomorrow.
I need to water next doors garden and get their bins in, but then I plan to get pjs on and snuggle under blanket watching some tv, before an early night.

Happy news today is that DS has passed his GCSE English with a grade 5. No more English lessons for him - yay. We were so shocked and didn't quite believe it after all of the mistakes the school had made when he took it, and he thought he was expecting a grade 2 fail, so yay.
Hopefully this is the start of the good news and more will follow soonMe, DD1 19, DS 17, DD2 14, Debt Free 04/18, Single Mum since 11/19
