    I would give her a call Buffy. Even going through a divorce you'd hope she would be able to keep work and personal life separate - to be able to have an income for one thing - and there must be other people in the same boat who are calling her.

  • 'To do' lists can be self defeating if too long. Sometimes the impossible can stop you starting. Try limiting to a couple of tasks a day.

    I think I would try to find the driving instructor.
  • cool will ring her tomorrow on the way back from tutoring.

    cheers, I was sort of debating whether to just leave it. but i can't lose that much money

  • ooo yes Spud I think you did too( caught up)

    I don't think many people would listen to much kids say re things like debt eps not at the moment, it could be something he heard of the telly? so don't worry about that.

    I always knew Mum was worried about money but she worried about everything so it didn't really impact.

    Next question

    Can you run firefox as well IE?

    Hey Spud, I don't know if telling the kids is the right thing to do. Remember at their age there are only certain things they should know; they percieve things differently. Do what you think is right for your kids. There was a little boy stood on the street corner when a police van pulled up. In the front seat there sat a police dog and the little boy asked his dad 'Dad why has that dog been arrested?'What I mean is should you tell them you are in debt or tell them that you do not have a great deal of money (they dont need to know why) and thats why money is tight; but they shouldn't worry about it. I dont know what do you think?

    BB i've just remembered dad would let us drive the van sometimes which was great fun. unfortunately he had an accident at work and broke his back so that was the end of being a milkman.
