    Thats horrid clearly the disapppointment from your plans beng skuppered. I know OH was planning how he'd spend his bonus before he actually got it. Clearly its not your OH's fault but I'd be asking questions why the delay and what can be expected.

    Virtual hugs to you :)

    Thank you for hugs, OH has finally noticed how upset I am and hugged me too :o

    Have made a list of what we need to pay out this month and he has looked AGAIN at the spreadsheet of payments we have to make - I know it's not his fault, it's the lack of concern he shows about how we will make ends meet that really upsets me as yet again I am shouldering the burden of the worry and the moving things around while he just said "why worry if we don't get it, we don't get it". I think he needs to speak to his boss along with other colleagues as if it is delayed at least I can relax a little. I just feel I am doing this all on my own yet again.

    I am not thinking straight, I am completely exhausted through lack of sleep and think I will have to take a nytol to help me along as I know my mind will go into overdrive once my head hits the pillow.

    Also did a race today which was horrendous and I am just about to admit I haven't rested enough after the marathon and need to take a step back. I am also eating like there's no tomorrow as when stressed IMD eats!

    Ah well, tomorrow is a new day, will bring new things and there is little I can do tonight.

    Will check in on everyone if I can before I go to bed - thank you for the hugs :)

    I really hope you are able to switch off and sleep tonight - it is horrid when debt and money problems stop you sleeping.

    As for the running -well, I am still recovering from my marathon :rotfl:

    Aww, really sorry to hear that - that is a bit of a mental set back :(

    As you say, the worst part is that you are carrying the burden of stress and worry. Poor you. I know it is painfully slow, but things ARE moving in the right direction. Little by little you are nudging down Next and once that's gone it will be a small victory, then on to the next one.

    If you need further proof, I refer you to Ms Hypno's thread - if she can, you can. Tomorrow is another day, take care xx

    Nothing horrendous in the post today which makes a change, even though I know where we are with everything I still dread the postman - very odd.

    I know what you mean .... I'm married to him:rotfl:
