    Funny thing. I came in here to check my goals to see if I said no alcohol today. I apparently knew tonight would be rough. But if I’d said no alcohol, I would not have had the beer. As is it tasted really good.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of 2021: 194.4
    Today: 197.6

    Ongoing plans/ideas

    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for GR purchase list.
    2. E2: Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
    3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
    4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
    5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
    6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7. PT 4p Mon/Fri
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion Feb 8 7P.
    8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
    12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
    13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
    14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
    15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?

    WFTY: Focus. Bedtime for me. I feel like I'm forgetting things. Bleugh!
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    1) Move hourly (right knee not getting better) = limping along & I limited my walking 6.6K 13floors 11/14
    2) Net calories zero / 112 oz. water :s another day in the red, but protein & calcium excellent & 96 oz. water
    3) Health ins. info / 10:00 - 12:00 webinar / complete & digital sign webinar summary form / Title 31 / clear some emails / set up OOO message / contact Michelle for update = 6/7
    4) Contact healthcare provider / find life ins. info / some ta-da ~ not much but some digital decluttering = 2/3
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app knee hurting & tired, went to bed extra early / 6:45 alarm = 2/6

    JFT R 1/27
    1) Move hourly?
    2) Net calories zero / 112 oz. water
    3) Appt. for knee 10:45 / Facebook Live video / Citrix install 2:00 / clear emails / update PRO s/s / Title 31 prep

    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    64 yrs old
    Reside in Green Bay, WI, USA

    2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
    1) Weight 150#
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
    4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking dog, treadmill in winter, but include weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~
    • started MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,022km challenge on Jan. 1
    • Frenzy on the Fox (River Trail) 5K on 1.21.22 ~ untimed event, per MapMyWalk 53.47 & ave. pace 16:30, frigid this year with wind chill at zero
    • registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22
    • will register for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K when Oct. details announced
    • watch for other events to add
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last two years to be continued
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
    9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    JFT Wednesday
    - Work by 6:30 :smiley:
    - Meeting at 7:00 :smiley:
    - Do some audits this afternoon :(
    - Check calibration status :smiley:
    - Protein bar for brunch :smiley:
    - Bible Study at church :(
    - Dinner out :(
    - Log Food :smiley:
    - Stay green :smiley:
    - Bed by 11:30 :smiley:

    Have a happy day y'all.

    Yesterday was a good day. There were things on my list that I didn't do, but they were replaced by better things. The audits, I reassigned and extended the due dates on. I didn't go to Bible Study, because I decided my Tuesday evening Bible study was sufficient. Instead I rode the Peleton for 30 minutes. Damn those workouts are tough. Since I didn't go to church I didn't eat out, instead I had a yummy turkey sandwich.

    All in all I felt good about the day. The evening was a bit rough for my daughter with High School girl drama happening. She cried, I cried. I don't know how to help her. Later in the evening I called another parent in the friend group to try to get a better handle on the situation. I cried some more, didn't really get any answers, but she's a good friend so I felt better after. Decided to have a beer and finish watching WVU lose their basketball game. I did check goals first to make sure I hadn't said "no alcohol" as I often do, but I didn't so I enjoyed a few drinks and stayed within my calorie allotment.

    Today has been utter chaos so far. Our internet is down at home so neither hubby or I could work from home today. He had an early meeting so he rushed out. I didn't have a meeting until 8:30 so I was more laid back. Until my daughter came in and told me her car wouldn't start. No biggie, I'll get dressed and take her to school before I go to work, right? Wrong, her car is parked behind mine in the drive, so I'm blocked in and too far away to jump her car. Text hubby, and take my 8:30 call on my cell phone (luckily I didn't need to present anything). Hubby comes home from work jumps her car, and we all finally head our separate ways. Sheesh...

    Today I have a few more meetings, and i teach spin tonight, so that is a bonus, but I will miss V's play. No real worries, I'll see it Saturday at the Theater Competition, but I don't like missing things. Other than that, nothing really planned. I'm thinking pizza for dinner, well pizza toppings on a burrito flour to save calories, but it gets crunchy and I like it so all is well.

    JFT Goals
    - Work from home :(
    - 8:30 meeting :smiley:
    - Work stuff
    - 1:00 meeting where I have to present
    - Home by 4:30
    - Grab a bite to eat before spin since I forgot my lunch today
    - Teach spin
    - Home by 7:30
    - Shower
    - Veg

    Happy Thursday y'all!

    I'm down 4.4 lbs since joining you all again! I've been taking my medications more regularly, cooking at home more, and able to better regulate my emotions despite being egged on at every opportunity! :s Difficult week, our kitty had a horrible episode and spent a few days at the emergency vet. He's home but I absolutely emotionally ate - but I recognized it instead of sticking my head in the sand. Back to the vet tonight for some rechecks, hoping all is well. They have no idea what caused it and we've ruled out all the obvious and not so obvious things possible. Here's hoping he makes a full recovery, hes only 1.5 :( Also! We got into the daycare for part time care after all! I am thrilled!!!

    @AJB1014 - congrats on the weight loss! Sorry to read about your poor cat. Hope he’s ok.

    I’m hopping on briefly after a strange day. It was all going so well and then my younger daughter tested positive on a lateral flow device. So I’ve been scrabbling around this evening emailing schools and booking PCR tests. The rules say as I’m triple jabbed I can carry on as normal. Tomorrow night I was due to meet some friends for dinner in my first night out in probably more than a year. I’m feeling very conflicted about whether I should go… obviously if my daughter is too ill, I would stay home with her. But she is currently fine… I’ll sleep on it!

    Hope you’ve had a better day @mytime6630 and I’m glad you had a good day @pridesabtch. Hope you enjoyed the babysitting @littleblackskirt. Good to see you @PackerFanInGB @cschmitz110515 and @Snowflake1968.

    Scale goals
    End of 2017: 174.6
    End of 2018: 189.2
    End of 2019: 196.4
    End of 2020: 187.4
    End of 2021: 194.4
    Today: 197.6

    Ongoing plans/ideas
    1. Purchases: Look for an "ugly Christmas sweater" and a long-haired doll at thrift stores. Practice French braiding. Go to used bookstore and look for GR purchase list.
    2. E2: Find a way to incorporate changing words from one part of speech to another. Students need to know how to review multiple sources and synthesize information in order to draw a conclusion. Need practice with the difference between transitions and overlapping (at end of paragraph - "another issue is Y" vs "there are other issues besides X"). Quit using "in conclusion" and "I believe" and other writing-about-my-writing phrases. Confusion between direct/indirect objects and prepositional phrases. Use the UDHR and the Declaration of Independence to study paraphrasing; use that to front-load Machiavelli and how to deal with challenging texts. Confusion between everyday / every day and similar constructions.
    3. E1: Need practice with quoting & paraphrasing sources, identifying claims that would need support, use of last names for reference, and capitalization practice (common/proper nouns, titles). Difficulty using possessive nouns in their own writing. Honors: practice subject/object pronouns (my friend and I / my friend and me). Poetry: Revise "Songs are Poetry" handouts.
    4. Curriculum Development: Writing mini-unit. Review scholarly research on 5PE. (I think I can have this as an intro to the research unit so that they also get exposure to how quotes are integrated and cited.) Parallel structure; use of emotional language, specific detail. Use "Write About a Pebble" lesson from Atwell. How long should each unit take? Do research on characteristics: curiosity, persistence, resilience, creativity, responsibility, optimism, courage, integrity, authenticity, leadership, self-awareness, humility, compassion - others? Include grammarly check on essays! Review assessments. What is the purpose for each unit? What should the controlling ideas be in a study of world literature? Review world lit options. Write 1 reflection weekly; type one in Classroom by Weds. Copy-paste to discussion board for comments due Friday. Homework: Online journal Mon due Tue; Reflection Tue due Wed; C&P journal in class Wed; Comments Thu due Fri. Bonus if you are the first response; further bonus if you respond to comments on your post. Grammar practice Mon & Wed; quiz Fri. Unit plan for research (Idea for regular: comparing same story on sites with different biases).
    5. Professional Development: Write blog post weekly. Comment on 3 posts each week - Tu Th Sun? Check with PSC. Talk with Z about articles and/or conference proposals. Look into publishing and literacy doctoral programs.
    6. Medical: Dentist May 12. Oct 14 1p. PCP Apr 12 9:15. Therapy 1/26 10A and 2/24 4P. Ankle 9:30 2/7. PT 4p Mon/Fri
    7. Theater: Read play for discussion Feb 8 7P.
    8. House: Siding. Or perhaps bathroom floor. How to remove cement.
    9. Fun: Open beading on Thursdays. Coloring at library on Tuesday. Put jewelry away. Edney Hack Nights alt Weds. ASL? Spanish/Portuguese practice? Practice piano. ROL Secret Adversary. Buy bike rack for car.
    10. Volunteering ideas: Theater. Library. Animal shelter. Community Kitchen. Emerge Georgia training.
    11. Family: Book group. Dinners?
    12. Writing: Blog post: Running, Racism and Rum: Learning to Handle Discomfort. Fanfic: Create a scene list for the Batgirl story. Finish the cafe scene for the Titans story.
    13. Lifting: 15 squats, 15 deadlifts, 10 shoulder presses, 15 arm raises, 10 pushups, 30 crunches, 15 side lifts, 15 back kicks. Horse stance for 5 breaths, tree for 10 breaths each leg.
    14. Summer: Organize photos with the family. Write Clois. Write Stuffy and Friends. Create blog posts for video lessons.
    15. Other: Practice hair braiding with D. Remind D to ask his dad about the table and check with home repair contractors. 3 posts/week? Create test for MLA format. Create test for infographics and visual information. Remember that M does not like surprises! Check dates of classes and update semester plan. She Should Run vision statement. Update standards on board. When to change bulletin board? Indochino suit fitting - Atlanta or Nashville?

    WFTY: Focus. My chipped tooth is fixed! It feels weird though...
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence.

    JFT Thursday 27th Jan

    Stay under maintenance I don't know
    Only one snack definitely more than one
    Foot exercises no
    Walk to the park...again

    Another babysitting day.

    Did badly yesterday. Although my meals were okay, I snacked too much, mindless eating due to stress. Grandson was pushing the boundaries a bit, and making it difficult for me to do a few urgent things regarding my mum. I'm constantly worrying about my mum, and I need to do some work on my holiday let and wondering if I should go or stay at home. I guess worrying doesn't help at all!

    JFT Friday 28th Jan

    Stay under maintenance
    Only one snack
    Back exercises
    Foot exercises
    Cook the meat in my fridge before it goes off

    Yesterday didn't quite go as planned. Didn't get on the bike in the morning because I was dealing with school issues. Then my daughter was without her car, so I spent a good part of the afternoon taking her on her errands and picking up the kids from school. No big deal. The chores just get kicked down the road a bit.

    It wasn't the best day for food choices either, although I did end up under my calorie limit. Need to run out this morning to pick up some fruit and veg. We're expecting a major snowstorm tonight, so I'm sure the grocery store will be mobbed with the usual panic shoppers.

    Better get to it. I'll catch up with reading posts this weekend. Happy Friday everyone!

    2) Net calories zero / 112 oz. water :s no exercise calories & more calcium leads to -417, sodium not horrible, fiber low, protein & calcium excellent, 80oz. water
    3) Appt. for knee 10:45 / Facebook Live video / tech install 2:00 :neutral: not resolved / clear emails / update PRO s/s / Title 31 prep = 5.5/6
    4) Shop for cards / pick up french bread / find life ins. info / declutter 15 min. / another ta-da? nope, unless I count picking up my prescription = 2/5
    5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / 6:45 alarm = 5/6

    JFT F 1/28 ~ hubby's birthday & I will make his traditional dinner (we started dating in 1995 and I have made this dinner for him every year since 1996)
    1) Move hourly
    2) Net calories zero / 96 oz. water
    3) Tech help 10:30 (Teams) / update & submit PAR, PRO, KRO s/s / update Project Status s/s / request PY Title 31 folders / afternoon PTO?

    5) PT exercises / unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / Voltaren / Calm app / no alarm Sat.

    For those JFTers that know me, you know my exercise of choice is walking dog 3-4 miles or on treadmill when necessary in winter. I haven't been able to do much walking lately. I had a minor knee injury several weeks ago, rested a bit, felt better and walked in a 5K fun run last Friday evening. Bad idea. Knee felt fine during 5K but worse after, and home treatment not resolving, so yesterday I finally had medical appt. to determine possibilities and treatments. Nothing horrible, but definitely inflammation due to overuse and my arthritis.

    On the bright side, both the medico & physical therapist I met with (both wonderful ladies) were impressed and happy with my normal level of activity. Unfortunately, my medico nixed the next 5K race I'm registered for on Feb. 5. And I realize the You vs. The Year Challenge will have to wait. The physical therapist worked with me on exercises to help and gave my a printout so I can remember (information overload).

    Last night, I started on prescription for inflammation, plus alternating heat and ice, plus exercises. Hopefully one week shows improvement, definitely in two weeks, otherwise I go back. That's incentive for me to follow treatments. Wish me luck!

    About me: Carmela
    Height 5'4"
    64 yrs old

    2022 Goals: mainly updates from the last two years
    1) Weight 150#
    2) Plan meals most days & prelog meals/snacks whenever possible on MFP
    3) Post weekly weigh-in on JFT for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
    4) Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
    5) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x) ~ mostly walking dog, treadmill in winter, but include weights/my home version of circuit & other x-training
    6) Participate in race or challenge events hopefully fewer virtual this year ~
    • started MapMyWalk app You Vs. the Year 1,022km challenge on Jan. 1
    • Frenzy on the Fox (River Trail) 5K on 1.21.22 ~ untimed event, per MapMyWalk 53.47 & ave. pace 16:30, frigid this year with wind chill at zero
    • registered for Seroogy's Valentine 5K on 2.5.22
    • will register for Bellin 10K on 6.11.22 ~ first time in person since 2019
    • will register for Packers 5K when July details announced
    • will register for Bellin Women's Pink Pumpkin 5K when Oct. details announced
    • will register for Run for the Hill of It (trail) 5K when Oct. details announced
    • watch for other events to add
    7) Be considerate and loving to hubby and have fun together ~ excellent goal last two years to be continued
    8) Make efforts to keep in touch with parents, siblings and friends (most live in other towns or states) ~ keeping this goal as well
    9) Continue to declutter bedroom, home office, former work from home space (a/k/a dining room) and basement
    Word for 2022: Tenacity ~ persistent determination; the mental strength to resist opposition, danger or hardship

    SW: Feb 5: 191.8
    SW: Mar 5: 193
    SW: April 2: 190.4
    SW: May 188
    SW: June 190
    SW: July: -- skipped this month
    SW: August: 184.6
    **Skipped recording weigh-ins from August until just now... this is what has happened. Gain of 15 pounds over the holidays. This is something every year I struggle with .. gaining from Halloween until New Years. THIS year, I will learn how to NOT let this happen
    Weight history 2021
    Friday, Jan 8: 194.4 -1.2
    Jan 15: 194.6. +.2 I was down to 193.4 2 days ago .. but this reflects 2 days of mindless eating.
    Jan 22: 191.4 -3.2 5 out of 7 days were good ...
    Jan 29: 194.2 -- this is what happens when I don't track, give into stress and emotional eating. But ... My word for the year is consistency... that means consistently also recording my weight .. and being accountable. So its a new week.. again.
    Feb 5: 191.8 -- trying to get back on track with controlled nite time eating
    Feb 12: 194.3 --- I don't know why, but I can do good for a week, only to blow it the next week. I think the pandemic, the cold dreary weather is leading me to just overeat.
    Feb 19: 194 --- a very small loss, due to 4 days of overeating granola bars and Kind bars.
    Feb 26: 193 -- 5 out of 7 days I did OK, especially with nite time snacking.
    Mar 5: 193 -- stayed the same, but had 2 days of eating icecream and peeps
    Mar 12: 192.6. Started challenge of the rest of the month NO nite time eating at all.
    Mar 19: 190.4 -- 5 out of 7 days NO nite time eating. Goal next week ... 6 our of 7 day no nite time eating, 8+ glasses water @ day.
    March 26: 188.6--- 6 out of 7 days I did good .. no nite time eating. Last nite... food was in control of me. I was so tired, and instead of lying down... I grazed the entire nite. So much that I had trouble sleeping. So while right now my weight is down, I expect it to go up. So next weeks goal is 7 out of 7 days.
    April 2: 190.4 --- not the best week.. but I am still down 5.2 pounds for the first 3 months of this year. So I will look at the positives.
    April 9: 191.2 --- even though I had a OK week, I think eating ham for 3 days .. hoping its just water weight.
    April 16: 187.6 -- a week of more mindful eating, especially in the evenings, plus a lot more exercise with walking and garden work.
    April 23: 187 -- a very small loss, but at least the scale is going in the right direction. I will continue to work on the nite time snacking and emotional eating.
    April 30 188.8 -- got into the ice cream again.I am just 10 pounds before I am in a healthy, normal weight for my height.. but those 10# have been the hardest. I met that goal in 2019 ... trying to get back there.
    May 14: 188.0 -- A week of terrible back pain, so I wasn't really watching, or caring what I ate. So happy that I at least did not gain much.
    May 21: 185.6 -- lots of walking and yard work this past week.
    June 4: 190.1 -- this is what happens when I am not paying attention to habits, etc.
    Missed tracking weight almost all through june and july. back on track now
    July 30: 186.8 --- trying to plan dinner meal better, and doing a lot of walking. Gave up caffeine .. on week 3 now.
    August 5: 184.8 ---- good week. No caffeince, which actually helped with my eating. Planning at least dinner meal is also helping me.
    **Skipped recording weigh-ins from August until just now... this is what has happened. Gain of 15 pounds over the holidays. This is something every year I struggle with .. gaining from Halloween until New Years. THIS year, I will learn how to NOT let this happen .
    2022 Weigh-ins
    SW: Jan 1: 199.0
    Jan 7: 201.6 --- feeling so depressed with this sore on my back... and I guess been eating out of stress/boredom. Not sleeping, so no motivaton. doctor put me on a second round of antibiotics .. so I hope it starts to heel. But I need to get more serious about logging my food ... hate being out of the 100s again! Always said I'd never let this happen.
    Jan 14: 200.1 -- on my 3rd dose of antibiotics, but my back is healing. But have not been eating as healthy as I should be ... and not going to the gym because of covid. Even though losing weight is 90% what I eat, the exercise gets me in the right frame of mind. So I am hoping to get back to at least early morning walking again. But ... at least scale dropped a small amount.
    Jan 20: 200.1. Just having a hard time getting my head into the game. Cold, dreary weather; not enough exercise, and too many nites of stress/boredom/ eating.
    Jan 28: 198.4. Really working harder this week ... well, at least the past few days. Trying to be mindful of what I eat and how much, but more importantly, the evening snacking. I'm also trying to eat more during the day ... I think that might have been my biggest problem. I do so well all day, but give in during the evening hours. Eating more all day has helped.

    I'm down 4.4 lbs since joining you all again! I've been taking my medications more regularly, cooking at home more, and able to better regulate my emotions despite being egged on at every opportunity! :s Difficult week, our kitty had a horrible episode and spent a few days at the emergency vet. He's home but I absolutely emotionally ate - but I recognized it instead of sticking my head in the sand. Back to the vet tonight for some rechecks, hoping all is well. They have no idea what caused it and we've ruled out all the obvious and not so obvious things possible. Here's hoping he makes a full recovery, hes only 1.5 :( Also! We got into the daycare for part time care after all! I am thrilled!!!

    Great job! Congrats on the weight loss... sorry about your kitty. Hoping for a full recovery!

    I know, we haven't even done anything fraudulent. Impossible seeing as we get paid by the government (benefits).
    It's just a new account. Apparently a common problem with new and old users.
    But as it's under "fraud" they can't tell us what exactly alerted them until the investigations over.
    Im definitely gonna be putting in a complaint.

    Apparently only the money that's currently in the account can't be accessed until the investigation is complete but any new incoming money (like my Carers benefit) can be used. Which hits the account tomorrow. So that's our food shop sorted for the week.
    But the whole thing is ridiculous.

    Apparently they will compensate for financial hardship but I'm not holding out hope.


    I could have accessed a food bank but the nearest one is only open on a Thursday and even then it's a bit of a walk. And because I'd be walking they'd give me less stuff because Id only be able to carry so much.
    And my experience with them have been okay but you don't get some of the major essentials like milk, butter etc. Basically anything fridge/freezer related. And stuff like vegetables are nearly always on the edge of going off.
    Other than that I'm not sure of what else would be available.

    Hey all, still here and reading posts! I saw I got mentioned lol I'm okay!

    Just took a few days off from logging.
    Our bank had been blocked for the last 2 weeks due to "fraud investigation".
    They won't give us any of our money and our rent is still yet to be paid (luckily the landlord is my dad but still not the point) and we ran out of money on our other account.
    We tried to see where the investigation was up to and they just don't even care that we have 3 kids that need feeding.
    So I cheekily had to borrow money off my dad to get more food.
    But I've not ate enough for the last few days to be able to log a diary.
    Naturally I eat less so the girls are still well fed, I panic about running out completely. As long as I can sort out dinner and breakfast I'm happy. Even if it.means I go without.

    It should be sorted within the next 7 days and we'll be fine. It's just extremely inconvenient

    So sorry to read this Bex! Hopefully they'll find the problem soon and open your acct back up.. Hugs.
