My wonderful DB friends, thank you.

On Friday I hit the wall, 24 hours to file 34 payrolls on line and to correct STXH mistakes. You will all be pleased to hear I made the deadline bar one filing, a new payroll which would not file, but I have the rejection notice. All new processes for me.

On Saturday night I slept through until Monday lunch time with only pee and water breaks. Was groggy until Tuesday.

Amoung all this managed to send out two large invoices and was paid within 4 days. This settled some immediate bills and paid the rent. First crisis narrowly squeaked. accounts have less than £100 in each but I made it by shuffling and using credit cards.Apologised to contractors about Fins, but they are being loyal. Paid two least expensive contractors up to date and only one invoice for Feb left on another. But of course the May invoices will be due at the end of the month. Hey one day at a time.

My VAT return is due by midnight Friday too, so no easing up for V.

Still have leak in the shower, and plumber fixed tenants boiler so that bill to come too, won't be cheap. In addition drains blocked at tenants house so paid that with cash. I need to pay the cleaner on Friday and the Gardner and discovered I have no cheques for my new account!

One day at a time.

One of staff is being evicted next Friday and so currently they are living in my spare room as they are effectively homeless.

Office should have completed but hasn't, need to sort that tomorrow.

Next fin crisis in 10 days, another crunch.

Jeep has gone, I exchanged it for an old van once used by BT, put the small balance on a credit card.

And H is officially a bigger idiot than ever before. I am packing his things and finding junk everywhere. I decided it's his job to sort it so I have merely packed his stuff very very careful. Ironed things that need it and washed the stinky pooh stuff. Cleaned and wiped all types of rubbish.

Stacked H endless paperwork with my glasses off so I am not tempted to read any of it. Boxed old crumbly items with great care.

Who needs 3 golf travel bags? Well apparently H does, and all of those old suitcase are seeing good use. I advised the kindergarten crew that H is officially a hoarder, every nook and cranny packed with stuff. He has 4 times the clothes I have and at least double the number of pairs of shoes. I outshine him with boots though..........

I have more scarves and hats. a wonderful collection of hats from my cancer time.

I promise that normal service is resumed and I will catch up on everyone's sitch with great speed.
