    Happy Tuesday!  It's nice to have the day off, even if it will be spent galloping around.

    Little jwil is brighter today, and his school did phone yesterday with some suggestions of how they will support him, so we'll see how he copes getting out and about a bit today before I decide whether he goes back tomorrow.

    We need to go and get him a couple of tops I think.  We can't get his current ones around his cast as its really thick around his elbow.  He prefers something with a collar as well because of the sling, so we'll see if we can maybe get some polo shirts or something so he doesn't have to wear a school shirt every day!  I've cut the sleeve on his school shirts, but he's got plenty anyway.

    CC payment today, so another reduction to the car bill.  Funds are very tight this month, I think the impact of the extra borrowing is hitting, without the cushion of the back pay from last month.  I'll have to have a look and see what I can cut back on.  I've definitely been lax with spending recently so it should be easy enough to tighten things up.
