Wow, I am so proud of you for finding this service and having the courage to make contact and apply for it. You never cease to amaze me with your strength and tenacity and your children are so lucky to have you as their mum.
I am glad you are not going to divulge the source of funding for your son’s taxi, he doesn’t need to know. There is no way he can object to your son being with you now that he will driven to and from school. Thank you for thinking of me today.
Another source of funding your support workers/mental health team can access for you is “Margaret’s Fund” a charity specifically for women for help in a difficult situation. It does need a referral from a professional.
Happy for you to PM me if you want further information about this or anything else I can help with. Keep rocking it, you will have a beautiful home soon. 💐 xx

Thank you so much @AdmittowearingCrocs. I’m finally getting courage to do these sort of things I never had that before. And I’ve genuinely never had people be happy for me and it’s a lovely feeling so thank you to you all. 🥰🥰
Your right about ex not needing to know , it will pain him wondering how I’m doing it though.
I’ve never heard of Margaret’s Fund , I will have a look at it thank you 🙏.
I can’t wait to share my home with you all once it is mostly done , I’m so thankful that your all on this journey with me xx

Hi @AdmittowearingCrocs Are you ok?
I had a lovely time thank you, I was thinking about you today as wanted to share something that happened this afternoon which I I think you might be proud of?
As you know my ex has already started being difficult now he knows I’ve got a house and won’t let youngest get bus to bus station and then another bus to school. So today I was looking on Doncaster council website and there was a ‘transport services’ page so I rang the number on there and spoke to a lady and told her the situation and why I am in this situation. She told me to send everything to her on an email. Anyway the service manager emailed me and asked me for my phone number which I emailed him back and gave it . Less than a minute later he rang me. We was talking for over 45 mins and he explained that the council has funding for extreme circumstances for transport and he’s going to speak to his manager tomorrow to get it signed off but basically they are willing to fund a taxi each term each way and back from my house . I couldn’t believe it. I’m not going to say anything to ex other than that I’ve sorted out private transport for youngest xx

That's amazing news!! Your ex won't be happy at that I'm sure, he will be desperate to put anything in your way that he can!!
dont forget people have already said they will support you to get your kids back once you are settled....he won't win this xxx

It is isn’t it @Munchyseeds2 , I do feel guilty about using tax payers money though , hopefully I will soon be well enough to work again so I can contribute to society. Ex won’t be happy at all and he’ll keep trying to throw obstacles in my way but if it ends up going to court and he says he doesn’t want his son using public transport at least I’ll be able to say I did x,y and z to overcome that obstacle. The more he tries to put obstacles in my way the more it makes me determined at the moment . I’m sure it’s going to make me break down at times but as long as I keep trying to get back up again I’ll take it xx

I love it when I find some money in a pocket I didn't know I had
Or when you wake up thinking its a work day then you realise its not, that's the best!

@Imbluedalale How was your daughter and lunch, what did you have?

Stompy Pete.. there's always one isn't there?
At least you can't hear him snoring, that would drive me bonkers😀

Not long now til your in your own place, do you know when your going to see it yet? Xx

Hi @Munchyseeds2 How’s your day been?
Unfortunately I’ve never found money in a pocket but that would be a lovely surprise. 😂
Seeing my daughter was lovely thank you , she spent the whole time showing me screenshots she had taken of what she wants in her bedroom, I had to gently tell her that it may take a good few months to get her bedroom how she wants it but it was lovely to see her excited. We had KFC I had a zinger burger and she had popcorn chicken and mash. I’m not a fan of the KFC chips though they are abit soft.
My youngest was texting me last night and he said he’s been thinking about Christmas and how he doesn’t want me to be on my own this is the message he sent :

No mam I will worry about that no one deserves to be alone on Christmas certainly not u xx

So I reassured him that I’ve already got my plan for the day made. I’m going to sofa lounge watching loads of films and eating my body weight in food. And after he seemed ok with that.
I know I’m soooo excited , counting down the days. I’m going to see it this weekend and try and have a peek. I spoke to them today and the builders are still completing it but they have agreed a completion date of 18th xx

We had a dodgy machine in work for ages that would keep dispensing extra bottles of coke. It's the joy of something free I think!

So I'm doing an online session, Find your inner spark. The host has mentioned a quote I think from Macauley Culkin but I missed the start.....anyway he says he can't muster up a huge level of enthusiasm for anything in the way he does when he finds a huge chip/crisp in the bag. It made me laugh because I know that delight of finding a massive crisp and showing it off 😂anyone else?

I love when you get a huge crisp 😂 I get huge enthusiasm when I get something from the vending machine and 2 drop out !🤣xx

The room idea looks amazing, love that. And looks fairly easy especially if he already has some football shirts to hang up.

I haven’t heard of the yellow car game! That’s funny 🤣. 😱 at the milk dropping everywhere though! And 😱 at the fainting game. Poor you spending g a week in hospital. I do remember spinning round and breathing hard game to try and faint. Crazy 🤪🤣.

Thank you @RaspberryBeretxx , I will try my best to get it looking as close as possible .
It was probably the only time I loved being in hospital , got jelly and ice cream after every meal and had a week off school. Win win 😂😂xx

Morning Laura and all the spoon gang. So good that your daughter is coming to see you and it will be great to get out too.
Love the bedroom your son wants but good luck painting that ceiling 😆
When I was in secondary school in the 70s we used to have a male teacher that would play knuckles with the boys when we were in year 10/11. It was a very rough school though 😂

Good morning @AdmittowearingCrocs how are you today?I know I’m looking forward to seeing her and spending time with her.
I was thinking that about the ceiling! It’s very green too . Might have to reconsider the ceiling part. Maybe just have a football lampshade 😂😂
God could you imagine a teacher doing that now?😂😂All hell would break loose xx
