On a Mission

Another bout of silence from me.

This is due to both kiddies getting sick again. After DS got better from the last sickness he went back to school on the Monday of last week. By Thursday I got a call from school to say he'd been sick in class and that there is a bug going around...no kidding. And he's been unwell since. But it's weird. He's sick, then ok for almost 24hr then he's sick again. Last night was the worst though. He was sick in bed. Then DD vomited on me. So we showered. Then DS was sick on the landing. No sleep for me since 2am.

Another day off work, it's really affecting me now and I feel so selfish thinking like this. DH has booked tomorrow off in case the saga continues so that I can catch up with work.

I've been to school and collected DS homework. He's completed it already bless him. I worry that he's going to fall behind at school. He's literally been off more than been in since term started.

So my day so far has been spent washing towels and bedding at an uneconomical 90oC but this bug has to go. I've had the steam mop/cleaner out and cleaned all hard surfaces. The end must be in sight surely. I can not catch this. I've got a weekend of overtime lined up (again thinking selfishly )

DH gets paid tomorrow so will be able to update figures. Will most likely PAD later as I've saved money on parking at work today!

Well I checked the BC account and the new statement was in. So my usual £65 payment was made. I then made a further a £4.60 which what I saved on parking.

I then got my post to find a letter with a cheque for £8.89 enclosed. Turns out in 2005 I paid for a parcel insurance premium with ACE catalogue. I have no recollection of this. It would appear that it was the once for £3.

Anyway they've took it upon themselves to refund me with interest hence the £8.89 amount. So that's come right off the BC

Morning,

Slightly belated update. I'm exhausted. DS is better :j:j DD still not 100% but getting there. Have today off work then I'll be in for 6 days in a row until next Friday.

DH has been paid. So a few more debts have been reduced. He hadn't managed much overtime due to sick and leave but next month's pay should be really good for him.
