Hello everyone

Been feeling REALLY rubbish about money or rather lack of it. Guy that rents my flat has been suspended from work so that knocks a massive chunk off of my income, bills still need paying though. OH is being pursued by a solicitors for unpaid overdraft to Halifax. Cars continue to cost us a fortune. Been having huge arguments with OHs family over seeing Pip. Generally have been feeling depressed and low about it all. Havent been filling in my spending diary, NSD chart or budgets. Then I get frustrated with myself as I know I need to do these things to try to sort ourselves out.

PLEASE ALL GIVE ME A KICK UP THE YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!

On a Positive though Ive had a lovely 1st Mothers Day, hope you all have too. Dads your turn will come in June x x

my very flowery boot is gently nudging you forward - sorry to hear about your set backs, you have some really good intentions and habits and fingers crossed you get a break or two soon.

i have been doing really well in some ways but then on saturday we started getting calls from a debt collecting agency - 5 in one day about a bill that I am disputing - do they care um no....its an upward battle sometimes but you will get through it. x

Hugs xx

Ah pipsmu, glad u had a gd 1st mothers day, sorry about the cars, Im sure they should be renamed money pits, mines going in 2mor for both rear wheelarches, and thats £400 to £500 - just go to the money tree in the bottom of the garden - renamed as fathers creditcard, hes got a better apr deal than me,
Come on uve been like superwoman, budgeting, balanceing and bringing up pip, (sorry name sticks), what is the problem with ohs family, without being nosey, u just cant magic urself into 3 places at once, babies dont preparw themselves.
You take care xx

Wow Ive managed 2 days on the trot, maybe I am on the mend? LOL!!

Thanks for the kicks and gentle nudges (fay you do make me laugh!)

OHs mum is a complete control freak and she got annoyed when we said we wouldnt let her have Pip for the Easter weekend like she wanted. He is only 10 weeks old and funnily enough me and OH quite like having him around and spending time with him!! Last weekend she said she would visit "at some point" on Sunday, it was a lovely sunny day so we decided to take Pip for a walk in the park and of course s***s law that was the exact time she chose to arrive and of course we werent in. She went mad and said we were denying her her rights to see him and called OH a selfish !!!!!!!! She is a nut job I am sure, does she really expect us to stay in all day for her royal visit? She told us that unless we gave her access to him she would disown us and never se us again I COULDNT BE THAT FLIPPING LUCKY!!!! Everything we do is met with negativity but then she moans to everyone that we are selfish and awkward, its so frustrating OH is fuming with her and didnt actually speak to her at all yesterday when she visited, he said now we have Pip he is at a new stage of his life and doesnt take kindly to threats and abuse from his mother. Anywhere else and it would be called bullying or harassment.

Right Rant over!!! :mad:

You all know what its like though when 1 thing after another happens and it just made me a bit down and to be honest I couldnt be bothered to sort myself out. But I have now so yay!!

Anyhoooo free moneywise mag came today so will have a nice bath later and read that. Will sit down and try to do my menu plans for next couple of weeks too as it really helps me to save money and to keep myself organised.

Love and hugs x x

Hey pipsmum, i always say partners should without family at times!!!!!
but i agree, what she is doing is so out of order, personally i ring before i leave if going to see someone if ive not arranged a time with them.............................................and she actually has NO LEGAL RIGHT what so ever!!!! not even your fella does and he's the dad.

I agree with your signature too, i always feel i am trying to walk up hills in skies!!!!!! (that is a very good saying....)

glad you are feeling a little better to log in 2 days in a row.......................................sending big hugs, strong drink of your choice and a big bar of virtual chocolate!!!!!!!!

keep smiling hun,
love rags
