dfe phone up and ask for the assessors report and then do the MR - you can dispute anything that’s been put. I had to do it with my sons so shout if you need help
Really good to hear from you @foxandflowers! I’m sorry you have been unwell after the surgery, but glad to hear you are on the mend. Also, nice to hear that you are enjoying time with your puppy and the new camper-van. It’s lovely that both are having a positive impact on your overall well-being. Take care xx
I can't remember how, but I found your diary last week, and have since read it all the way through. Thanks for sharing your journey so openly and honestly. Wishing you and your family all the very best for life and your debt free journey
Mini Fox's dad continues to be a grade a twit. The police were called when he split up with his gf and mother of his youngest child a month ago, and he has since moved in a new girl and got into a relationship and introduced Mini Fox to new gf. The mind boggles.
My stepson may be moving in with us [Step Fox?] as he is having relationship difficulties. He's offered to contribute towards the running of the house while he's with us, and I like having the kids around so it could be fun.
We are going camping this weekend for three nights {who thought that was a good idea??} and I am torn between looking forward to it and absolutely dreading it. There is nowhere to hide and recuperate on a campsite!
Work is an absolute slog. I'm not enjoying myself very much at the moment, and I have a real sense that they dislike me. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I definitely don't feel very welcome here. It's a shame, because my last job the people were absolutely lovely. I've been taking myself off on lunch breaks to read rather than interacting. Sometimes I think I made a mistake moving jobs, but on the other hand, I think of the money and I think I sort of needed to do it. My election pay hasn't been paid in this month's payslip. Boo. Next month is the first and last retention payment, and hopefully the EP will be in that payslip too, and that will at least allow me a boost for the upcoming summer holidays.
Sometimes life really feels like an absolute grind. One foot in front of the other, and hopefully the sun starts shining again soon.
