Just had to tell someone, for the first time since September I'm up to date on all the comps! I've always been a few days or so behind as I can never get on every day and it's a great feeling to have caught up!

Everyone's post have made me all emotional!!! I certainly do not know what I would have done without MSE and al my great friends online this year. It has been crap - nextyear HAS to be better!!
Am off to bed with a pint of water as my liver is still hurting!! Haven't had a drink tonight - only 2 more days for my own little mini challenge!! I know I'm drinking toooo much so no more until xmas day! Today has been ok cos I'm hungover anyway - but tomorrow may be hard!! I know you lot will help me through it though!!

Love and hugs and sticky stuff to you all!! hehe¬

Night Gert ... Remember how you felt when you woke up this morning .. thats usually enough to keep me off the booze for a bit ... or if all else fails distraction therapy (I.e. Comps and lots of 'em!)

Why_oh_why

I will eventually comment on here when I am not drunk (not that that seems to happen very often at the moment).

We recently made the big decision to sell-up - although we were devastated to get off the property ladder we were just sinking so fast - we are now in a completely different situation - although we still have £40,000 of debts, this is still completely different to having £80,000 of debts and we can now say each month that we can afford to pay for what is necessary and can afford to eat - earlier in the year there were many times when we were diving down the sofa cushions and in coat pockets to try and scrape together a few pounds to buy food for the week.

I have now been on the competitions board for a year - I have won some lovely prizes (ok not as many as some people, but I am so grateful and happy about the ones I have won). Unfortunately we have had to sell some things in order to buy food. However, we really hope that for 2009 any prizes I/we are lucky enough to win can be used by us or shared amongst our family (like my Iceland vouchers that I have won recently that I was over the moon to be able to share with both sets of parents).

Sending very very big wishes to everyone on MSE and comps board. Although I don't post very often (even though I have been on here for about 3 years) I am constantly reading the boards and have had so much help and support. You guys are so inspiring and I wish you all the very best for the future :j (and many many competitions wins for you all)

Hi Why
We did exactly the same 3 years back when I took ill and found out the insurance we had only covered hubby for illness & redundancy - it was the best thing we ever did, much less pressure / stress and better quality of life. The way I think of it is they'll only make you sell your house eventually to pay for care or something else they can think of so why not have a decent life rather than just survival.

Why Oh Why. Yep Why Me? We are only given as much as we can take hun. Blessings to you for much better to come and I pray its soon for you. This is Oh so long ago (40 years) but at 20 a baby on the way not a penny to stcratch me !!!! with.
Had to sell my treasured 11 plus pass (An exam you passed to move to a good senior school) present from Mum & Dad. A 4 track tape recorder. Second hand shop gave me £2.50 (£2. 10 shillings) A weeks groceries then was £5.Was in furnished accommodation renting so that was all I owned. I cried but had to do it.
Things do get better and easier hun. but it takes time and determination. I have at last paid off my mortgage. I at 20 I didnt expect to live past 40 cos that was ancient. but I still feel 18 mentally. Life doesnt pass you by unless you let it but as time passes things can only get better
