It makes all the difference in the world knowing you can have a down day - whatever it takes honey :grouphug:

Right I need to go get some housework done :rolleyes: It just seems to breed when I am not looking.

....or the email it was set up on, so this is the new me.

I still haven't sorted out my CF - I know I always have a reason/excuse but things are slightly insane. I moved to Birmingham at the end of July with my two youngest. Oldest stayed in b'ton with her dad which was gutting but she's in college, is 17 and didn't want to move - had to let her go some time right??

Little monster is going through some tough times - her dad lost his job back in February and he immediately ceased paying child and spousal maintenance. Cue severe financial hassle for me and the need to move closer to family where living is much, much cheaper. She was just getting back onto an even keel and he announces he is moving to New Zealand :eek: I think I need to contact Camhs here in Birmmgham because she really does need the support they provided - the lady in Brighton was brilliant but of course we left her behind.

My back is still bad - still on drug cocktail, still using walker and/or crutches, still having days where getting up is hell. Still breathing though.

Mid-way through a six month lease - we needed to get up here and are in a dinky 3 bed house with most of our boxes still packed. So looking for somewhere else. My sister is happy being my guarantor and I am slowly a working out money.

The bankruptcy was four years ago but it still affects me. Sometimes I panic opening letters that look like demands for money; I have no credit cards or anything and can't seem to bring myself to apply for any; sometimes my spreadsheet drives me insane as I plot every penny that comes in and goes out. Occasionally I feel resentful that XH seems to have completely moved on with no ill effects at all, but I think that's natural, right?? As long as I don't hire a hitman, then it's just divorcee blues!! And there's no room in the budget for a hitman!!

Going to have look around and see if I can find an familiar faces or help out a little. This place saved my sanity and I would like to pay some of that back. Bankruptcy isn't the end of the world. You can get through it and move on - I'm living proof.

So big wave if I knew you before :beer: and hello to friends I haven't met yet!!

Hey Merry, sounds like you are doing okay. I haven't tried to get any credit yet myself either but have moved on and got another new job and life is good. I don't come on here much myself anymore either but nice to see an old face!

This place also saved my sanity and you were a big part of that too! Thanks.

Great to hear from you Merry aka 2twistedmindz. I lol'ed at your comment about no money in budget for hitman, good to know sense of humour is intact. Nice to see life is ticking along for you. Wishing you all the best.
