    El, didn't realise things were so difficult for you right now, between lousy tutors and your MiL - hope things have improved a little bit since your last big posts on previous page. Its not surprising that you don't have a moment and you're having a few takeaways - I'd be exactly the same in your situation. Take care.

    cheers hypno and kc ..yes it is tough but you know i feel like i am coping really well ...apart from my couple of hours meltdown when the car stuff came up i have been fine chunking it down bit by bit ...saying that when things get back on a even keel i might find i will be lost without the stress:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:wouldnt that be ironic ...it's just a case of doing what you can when you can ...i am getting very good at saying no (even to those i love) when things get too tense for me ...so its possibly a good thing in the long run ...its fair helping me deal with my resuer issues anyway :D

    well there is a heavy atmosphere in the elantan household ...i have informed mr el that there is only £40 to last till next monday...he didnt take it very well at all ....so he started his usual ...which goes something like this ....



    well i'm out battering my pan in if you think i'm going without things (chineses /drink) then you got another thing coming ...i will have to go and do (one of either he changes it from time to time) standby or the gardens....at which point i usually say honey i really dont want you going and doing standby or the gardens as i know you are not fit for it (which he really isnt) so i then spend 10 mins or so talking him out of it cause of his back ...then i usually find money from somwhere (pay less on a bill or something) just to appease him


    today i said ...on ya go then enjoy .... he stormed outa the room and hasnt spoken to me since ....if he wants to go and mess up his back even more for the sake of a chinese or a drink then hell slap it into him ...cause i aint doing that crap no more


    ahhhh all better now i got that out ...right have done scratchies checked the banks i am back into the overdraft (this is why i am putting the foot down) but i do have a bit of leeway there ...i plan on getting rid if it between this month and next month so that i can go back to square colouring ...i liked it when life was simple and i could colour squares in to see where the debt was going ...

    mil is still in hospital she may be in for another two weeks or so ...seems she has a pesky infection that they just cant sort out


    hope you are all good
