Hiya @jwil. All okay here. Had a fair bit of time awol but more the chaos of adulting than anything else. Parenting has been a bit tough recently but everything is hopefully on the up. I need to sit down and catch up on your diary 😂

So finances wise I'm not quite sure I'm even keeping afloat any more. DH is off work sick again and everything is happening all at once so I'm a bit fed up with it all. The bank is currently emailing me daily as I've not enough in for whatever bill is due that day. I've shuffled every thing now and we have 200 quid left in the overdraft and he's gonna be on SSP again It's nearly payday though isn't it. 6 days left till I get paid again. Need to apply for U credit again I suppose but I can't face that today!

he had a camera in him at hospital today after an overnight stay again at hospital this weekend , they were happy with it and said on first glance there is no sign of the big c although biopsies have been taken to be sure. They have said he has a hiatus hernia instead. He's decided that despite the drs sick note he is going back to work next week. No idea if that's a good idea but that's what he's decided. He's been advised to reduce his alcohol consumption so we will see how that goes. He's still due an op but that's only in early stages of being planned and we won't know more till next month. It's just one thing after another and year six is turning out to be an expensive one for the parties,trips,hoodies etc. all reasonable prices but I've two kids in year six and it's adding up quick!

Fingers crossed it's nothing major.
I've got the joy of year 6 next year. I remember there being a lot, but ouch for having to do it for two at the same time! I'm already paying for the first trip.

Thanks jwil. Highschool emailed me details of their iPad scheme today as well. It's what I expected as the eldest has one but I was hoping they wouldn't mention it just yet. In previous years they have given a sibling discount I'm hoping they still do.
