    ah, but if you didn't try, where would you be!

    You're doing fabulously......don't think otherwise!

    Thank you honey - you keep me plodding on. A bit of friendly encouragement always works wonders. How are you doing? Do you dream (like I do) of the day when you will be debt free? No financial worries etc Golly how boring our lives may be. We shall have to find something else to whinge about and strive for. ;)

    I for one am hoping to be worrying about ginormous decisions such as where my next holiday will be and whether to have 1 or 2 per year! Seriously, i just want to be able to take my boys out and about and on holidays, so they can build fab memories of happy family times. I don't want to feel in years to come that they've missed out 'cause of my stupidity. I'll stop before i depress myself :(

    Big hugs and love to you Lemma and Bobo for your loss. Keep going. Reading your diary, Lemma, has proved to me what a strong, admirable, hardworking woman you are. You should be proud of yourself ;)
    One step at a time ;)

    My eldest dd (nearly 10) keeps asking me when we can have a holiday :(

    I feel dreadful. I just cannot afford it. The children are doing without because of my circumstances. I know exactly how you feel.

    Thank you for your lovely words. I am trying my best, but there are times when i wonder if it would just be easier jacking it all in. Mind you, thats not going to leave us any better off so clearly i need to stop such rubbish thinking. :o

    We must continue striving and teach our children how to manage life and money so they get the best chance they can to succeed.

    Cuddly number - £5500 :T

    Also had another !!!!!! day. Problems at work that I cannot seem to get sorted. Very stressful, and I am now so fed up with everything.

    I know they say that God only gives you what he thinks you can cope with, but I am feeling like i can't cope and even if I could I don't want to have to cope. My inner strength is starting to wane. One can only battle for so long.
    I'm not answering the phone, I'm not going into work (other than my court work). I only go in at weekends to collect my work when there is no-one else around. This is no way to live.

    Sorry for the whinge.
