    Thanks sys, def wand t2c
    Always appreciate your replies. Yesterday turned out to be a rubbish day, felt rubbish and mood was rubbish!,!!
    Slept much better last night and nerve pain is also much better, no idea why it comes and goes! 
    Have spent a long time emailing my DDs college, the learning support and each of her teachers. She had a bit of a melt down last night and finally told me how things were going at college. I knew she was struggling because of her behaviour at home! , bless her, she is trying to hard to hold it all together. Anyway, even though she asked me absolutely not to contact the college I've had to be mum and go above, I want to try and support her as much as possible otherwise I can see it all slipping away, which would be so sad given everything she as worked for to get there. Hopefully she will let me help her with the ideas I have 🤞
    Managed 30 minutes in the garden and started clearing the asparagus patch, I hate leaving it as it becomes a tangled mess and you can't get to the weeds. But now the stems have turned brown it is time to cut it down.
    I feel good about my decision to do the Monday clinic, which is good! Annoyingly the salon owner had not come back to me when I told her, I need to know if she wants me to find another practitioner as I have a couple possibly lined up and I need to let patients know asap.
    Paid Octobers rent for the room which is good and means I'm up to date. 
    Not much else money wise, did have a tesco delivery today, all out away with DS1s help.

    Sorry to hear your daughter is struggling, I think you made the right call, being a parent can be so hard.

    Apart from that you are sounding much more positive.

    I agree with Baileysbabe - sometimes you have to step in. 
    Well done on covering the October rent for the room 👏
    I’m glad DS1 was able to help put the shop away 😊 and good progress on being able to do 30 minutes in the garden 💪

    Ok so Thanks BB and KK ~ I texted all three teachers and spoke at length to learning support. Im very pleased I did it was def time to interfer (as DD would see it). They need to know a bit more about her background because her educational joureny has been very different to the other kids! Fingers crossed she can get a piece of (overdue) work done know that she didnt understand and catch up. Plus now I have opend lines of communication with her teachers they will hopefully email me if there are any further issues!

    Im definetetly feeling more myself. The decision to stop the Monday clinic was the right one, although not finacially, never the less it feels right and I feel like I can carry on with the home round, which often isn't many each week anyway, but it will keep me in pocket money!

    Face ~ well would you believe it I have toothache on the otherside now!!!!! I could cry and did last night when I couldnt sleep!!! Its a tooth that has been a bit whingy for months, but Ive just eaten on the other side, of course with the tooth removal ive had to swap sides and eating has set it off. Honestly, its unbelievalby bad timing as one side is still very sore and swollen and I cant open my mouth fully. But I have just made an emergency appointment to have it looked at tomorrow. At least with this pain, mostly neurofen works, unlike the nerve pain where bacically nothing works at all!

    Work ~ yey! go me! I went and did 2 patients, that was definetly my limit, but very pleased i did.

    So despite the bloomong tooth, things are looking up. I have started some new suppplements (magnesium/ b12/and probiotics) so hopefully they will help. Heard nothing from my econsult asking for blood tests, hopefully will hear something later today or tomorrow or I will do another one!!

    Oh good grief to the sore tooth on the other side! Hope it gets sorted swiftly. At least the dentist knows your history so they should take every possible precaution to prevent a second major infection 🤞

    Well done on the college action and hugs to DD. She was trying her hardest.

    So flipping fed up! 
    Did I say when it rains it pours! 
    It fell like my mouth has it in for me right now! 
    Long sob story short, went to dentist yesterday they think they know which tooth is now playing me up big time and it manky and needs to come out, but they can't take it out until I can open my mouth properly eek! It's the wisdom so it's right at the back 
     So more anti bs and pain killers to cope until I can!
    At least other side is improving ~ focus on the good 💕
