    I am pleased finally something is going right for you

    Is the quiet life at the cottage helping you,mentally ?

    Now the pressure is off at least you can retreat to your own space and take care of you


    don't forget freecycle for stuff the girls need and for stuff for the cotage garden ...................if you lived closer i could arrange tomato,pepper and cabbages ..lol

    I have been so busy sorting out the computer today. I havent been over to the house to finish things off.! I have had a WiniBlueSoft invading my computer, but after reading on the Techy thread, I hope that I have deleted it. Its not popped up so far. Fingers Crossed.

    I will be glad when the old house is finished and handed back. There is a lot to do there and as the girls are still living there, and its a mess, I really feel downhearted. But I am looking foreward to the end of next week, when I will finally be sorted out there and able to start to live my life as I wanted it, here in the cottage.
    I think that the quiete life is a big contrast, but I am enjoying it better now that I have the computer to keep me company.
    I have been over doing it, sorting things out and have been quite stressed over the girls not having a place. Now I know that they have a reasonable room, and when twin1 gets back off her Holiday, and we move them into the rooms, I will be over the moon.
    They may not be thrilled about it, but it will be better then nothing. They have got to learn to live with it.
    I have had some little plants from my BF, and have managed to plant some of them. I still need to plant a few more, but I need to dig up more of the land as its so over grown. Thats really something I cannot do very well, or very much. I need DS to get home, or BF, to visit and have another go!.

    I have spent over an hour on the telephone waiting for the ESA benefits to answer me. They have not paid me any benefits since 7th May. No wonder the money is running out. They owe me £234.25! Thats a lot of money.
    They are also a week behind, so next week they will be paying me £179.60, I hope. What a cuffuffle to sort that out!.
    The council are wanting to know why my Tenancy agreement is 2 months, and although I only claimed for two weeks overlap. (I could have gone for a 4 week but decided I would not be greedy!).
    I have got to go back with the tenancy agreement, even though I did produce it last week!. I give up, what do they do with these things?

    I am not used to things here yet, but I do feel at home. Even though some of the furniture is not furniture that I had in the last house.

    I am very tired, need some thing to eat. Then I will have to have a sleep.
    The council will have to wait until tomorrow. I doubt that I will have the energy to drive today. (Unless I go to collect DS. But I hope his friends family will bring him back this time!).
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Now that I am nearly over the last of the move, then I will be able to start my challenges again in Earnest.
    I have amassed utilities debts as I didnt have monthly bills, but quarterly. The water has just sent me an estimated bill. I will be reading the meter on Sunday, and it will no doubt be a lot more, and its £332.79 I really am worried as my income is now going to be even lower then the previous months!.
    I will be on the Old Style and the frugel and everything else!.

    Hopefully you will have some relaxation time once the girls and their babies are settled in.

    I hope so. Just had twin2 on the phone crying that she doesnt want to go to the Hostel. I have siad that it wont be forever, but she is being the baby, and stamping the foot a bit. Unfortunately there is no other choice for her, and she should not have treated me so badly, or her sisters/brother for that matter.
    I have enough of a guilt problem as it is. I donlt need her to put it onto me even more!. I have to harden my heart. She will get the help she needs from the system, (or at least she better).
    Its not as if she will be totally alone, her sister will be there on Monday, in a room on the floor above her!.:rolleyes:
