    Gosh thank you all so very much! I’m absolutely touched by your kind thoughts and words @spendless @fionasndphil @jwil@joedenise@dawnybabes@debtfreewannabe321 @pink_fluffy_sparkles @1stTimer and @vampirotoothus thank you for all of your positive thoughts before and after. I didn’t realise so many people read my diary! I’m so grateful for you all. 

    So it has sunk in a little, I was told today I was very lucky to keep my job. So I am very grateful. But the lord giveth and the lord taketh away. OH got given 3 weeks work yesterday for September, and then today they promptly got taken away when the company decided to postpone projects. So OH is not in a good place is very miserable and narky and although he’s trying I’m struggling to know what to do with him.

    theres always sone sort of drama going on! 🤦🏻‍♀️
