What a week

[B0xermad]

Calm bank Holiday Monday, started a new wellbeing class Tuesday which involves nutrition and exercise, nearly killed me had to use inhaler and sit 5 minutes out, weds I decided to mow the lawn then walk the dog round the corner and then I got a phone call saying my youngest son has had an accident on his 750cc motorbike breaking both wrists 1 of which is extensive and will take up to 1 year recovery @90% usage.he is also self employed and has 2 kids absolute nightmare. He needs to come live with me in the short term and I will be his hospital taxi but so glad he's alive to tell the tale.all this has had a big effect on me and my husband just trying to shuffle the house around and work out money for him to survive financially for the next 6mths at least.

Crikey! That's a lot to deal with.I'm so glad he's survived.have u Anyone to help u get things ready 4him? Anyone to talk to say how yr feeling? Worry bout money whn he comes + u talk to him face to face.

Thn I'd get him to ring citizens advice and ask what helps available financially to self employed .try to wind down.we don't want you illxxx
