    Oh no! Bad news on the TC seizure but I guess the good news is they are getting much less frequent. Well done to they boys on their school reports and hope you managed a bit more sleep!

    Thank you both. Beanie, I hope you got some sleep too!

    No more seizures. Didn't get much more sleep but no more drama either, so happy with that. DH has had a banging headache all day and the usual sugar cravings, but he hasn't been as 'down' as he normally is. He also stayed in bed during the seizure so no further injuries to contend with either :T.

    My friend took DS1 to school and collected him again for me. MiL came round this afternoon to stay with DH while I did the Easter trail with DS2 at his school. I'm thankful for such a good support network.

    Trying not to get too excited but we've had what seems to be a genuine letter from an old credit card saying they supplied us with the wrong NOSIA at the time of DH's accident, so they will be refunding over £2k!! Rang them (after checking out the phone number on google to make sure it was genuine!) hoping to get more information but the department I need to speak to is closed until Monday so I have to wait until then. Really hard not to mentally divvy up the money and celebrate being debt free!).

    DH is a bit better today. Snappy but ok. MiL coming round shortly as I'm off to work.

    Heard on the radio that those who have to use food banks really struggle with hygiene etc and some local girls have started an initiative called bubble box. I bought and donated some shampoo. Lovely idea, people have a right to be able to feel clean, fresh and comfortable.

    OMG.. thatd be fab!!!!! Fingers and toes are crossed for you.

    Agree re the shampoo, its the same for women escaping domestic violence. Towels and tampons are useful too.

    Have a great weekend and phone them at 9am on Monday :)

    catching up - so much has happened.

    Hope OH is on the mend and you had a good evening at work

    Dancing for you with the thought of being debt free!

    We have a donation box for the local food bank in our church, after reading an article about a lady using newspaper instead of ST's I always try to donate my buy one get one free, it would be my worst nightmare.

    Countdown to Easter holidays begins.......
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, crack open the Gin......
    Or as my Mum would instil, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It
