LOL just shows how much we tire ourselves out without realising.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I feel I am in a vicious circle some times so not point in repeating the same old. I should just right see post x and y! It does help ranting though.

Hi KP
mum2one is right, we need to let it out somehow - and that *is* good about falling asleep in the cinema, but what a shame! Wall-E is supposed to be good!
KP, we *need* this place, all us regulars. I don't know how I'd be coping in my financial situation without mse, and that doesn't just mean ways to get more money and reduce outgoings, it means the support - and if I can moan, then others must be able to as well! So you moan away when you need, its your diary, after all.
Sorry things are so bad with the OH, tho - are you talking more? While your mum is at her sister's might be a really good time to recharge the batteries. Which you already know, seeing as you're dropping BS. Okay ... I'll shut up for now!2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Can you sell the bs stuff? Sensible I think as yuve got alot on in terms of work already - more important to do something fun and just for you. Re oh complaining/you not wanting to be near him I do think you could do with some joint marriage guidance counc...you sound from that post like youre really fed up and so is he so maybe try and get help finding some even ground or meet in the middle? Sometimes it just helps having someone not related to your situation help you both take a step back. Did oh go to the dr re feeling depressed? Hugs for you all - sounds like they are very much needed at the moment....lol mum re falling asleep in the cinema!!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1!

Ill do the few parties I have left before xmas and then sell what I can. I have made some money out of it and got some great bits for me and some pressies for family so not a complete loss. I am annoyed though because I do enjoy it.
More money to be spent today. All three need new shoes. I hope clarks have a sale on!
Thank you for your support, Karmacat you're right Id be lost without this site.:j0 -

Hi KP...just want to give my support to you hun. You do so much for everyone else and in return it would be nice for you to get something back.
Didn't realise you wanted to stop the BS parties or have I got that wrong? You seemed to be enjoying them, but if it's draining you then it really isn't worth it.
Keep well and hope things take a turn for the better soon.

Hi
I dont want to stop but feel its not worth the aggro I get when going out. OH has said today that he has enjoyed this week (yesterday and lunch on Tuesday) so I can still do BS if we start to spend more time together other than me falling asleep lots. Ill see how it goes. I have sold a couple of things on ebay and made a small profit.
Shopping trip stressful mainly DS playing up. Only got a cheap 33.50 pair of shoes/trainers for him and found out the clarks sale starts 8/12 so will head back them for DDs. This time with OH in toe to tell DD1 she will have proper school shoes!
Feeling a bit better. Need to study tomorrow I havent started yet :oops:. Also need to de nit myself yet agin after kids were found to be covered today. The joys of parenthood.
Glad about the lost cost trip though because cc at £1200 :eek: was £450 when I last looked.:j0 -
:j :eek: Post 2000 :eek: :j
Thank you for your support everyone. Today I did the exma with some last minute cramming on the train. Thankfully some of what I looked at came up and alot I did know without any real recent studying so I have should easily pass and hoping for 65% for a credit.
Off to a BS meeting in a bit. I am tired but looking forward because I know I have a couple of rewards due.
OH been ok so good news there. Took DD1 into town and brought her some birthday clothes. I do feel cruel using birthday money for clothes so I have brought a few extra bits for her on the cheap via bodyshop as a surprise. DS is still waiting for his pressie the trip to Legoland.
DD1 wanted a belly top to show her belly. We did find one but Im not overly happy. Severe restrictions in place.
Better head off catch up soon.
Mum2one - Thank you for PM I need to have a bit of time to respond properly.:j0 -
