Yes hoping the weather will be good!
We live in a rural area and that is their excuse for the high rent and council tax, we should be given a reduction for being housed poorly lol!

When is the wedding? so exciting, at least you have a while to plan things and also pay debts off - goodluck with that.
Things will come right in the end they always do x

1st march - how did that happen!!

This morning i received £10 Argos giftcard from Valued opinion expires Jan 2015 which is fab!!
Got a letter from butlins confirming fully paid - that was quick! We get more info 3 weeks prior to the break.

I am off to take dd to nursery soon and then am going to come back and have a bit of a declutter.

I bought some bedside cabinets and have been planning on getting the wardrobe to match. This has been put off twice and i used the wardrobe savings to pay my debts off!
Today i contacted the seller to enquire about it and it has gone up by £100 and she dont have many in stock!
I have worked it out that i will have the money by 27th April - just hope i can get it otherwise our bedroom will be mixed matched as it is part of a set, and we already have the bedsides plus assessories!
The furniture is handmade and not available in the uk or in stores so very rare.

The seller is also saying if i pay in full she will order it, as she dont have them in stock - i`m not keen on doing this i`d rather oay on collection as i have before!

Everything goes sour when i think all is going well

Yesterday i went to the dentist and explasined the weeks course of abx hadn`t helped at all.
Had an xray and the tooth causing the pain was infact a wisdom tooth. SO he removed it with a lot of difficulty!
Came home and just cried in agony, had a banging headache, jaw pain and was so tired as i hadn`t slept for 48hrs due to pain and 2 poorly children!
Anyway i rested and slept on and off all night from 5pm til 9pm this morning - EEK!
Much better this morning BUT so sore and bruised!!
Cost me £45 which mum paid for me (she told me so lol!) but i will be giving her the money back asap she always helps me out and it isnt fair!

Today i have bidded on 3 houses
PLEASE god let this be the time for us!! We will find out next Thursday.
All 3 houses are in the same area and one is a new build that is perfect!!
One we couldnt find but the other seems nice apart from a horrendous fireplace in the living room:eek: It has a copper coloured flute thingy from fire to ceiling not nice!:rotfl:
I today put up a post on freegle hoping i get a few bits there (i`m not usually lucky there) I have asked for general home tools like screw drivers etc and basic garden tools - we have nothing!.

Oh what a weekend, my DS has a rotten cold, my DD a funny tummy.
My DH has been up all night being sick and is off work sick today - loses a day pay but needs must! he looks and feels dreadful!

I am feeling fine Been cleaning everywhere with dettol since 5am and my washing machine is on the 5th load:eek: Not done any since i was poorly and had bedding to do too lol!

Nothing from freegle so i am going to have to buy the things we need, i am trying to get little jobs. May have got myself a little ironing job which will help and the lady is hinting she may need help with housework - perfect for me!!

On the house front the amount of people who have gone for them is VERY low!!! Could this be our month??!! The new build is only on 46 bids (normally 150+).

Ooh will keep my fingers crossed on the house front! Let us know how you get on.
Hope you are feeling better - I only had a filling and had to take to my bed - poor you must have been awful especially as I know too how hard it is to rest and recover when you have littlies.

Good luck for the house - and how brave are you having your wisdom tooth removed by a dentist!! I had to go to the hozzie and have a general anestheic!

savingmummy

Thanks girls!

I am much better! Jaw bruised but apart from that back to normal.
I couldnt go to hospital as DH was at work and i had the 2 children with me lol! They run the dental nurse rugged hahaha!!

I have a lot of ops and things so got quite a high pain threshold but OMG!! It was bad lol!! x

I am feeling rather down today, very tearful and scared about our future.
My godmother said to me last night that she was going to give me £100 towards my wardrobe! I declined and said no thank you, how on earth can i accept that it is a lot of money to part with!!
This morning i got a call from one of the mums from nursery to say she had a few bits for my dd that she had left at the nursery and that she will be bringing a bag in on Friday too. I dropped my lil girl off at nursery and the nursery worker gave me a bag of girls clothing - all tags on!!
Some people are so generous and i feel dreadful i can`t give anything back!!

I am almost certain we wont be getting rehoused this month, pretty silly to think otherwise really! The amount of people who have bidded may be low but i can guarentee one of them will be the ones to get it! We have had similar experiences before! Will we ever move? Maybe we still face years of waiting?

I can`t live here anymore, i dread waking up, dread going to bed and certainly hate being here all day. The children hate it here their behaviour is so different when we are out! There is no space at all, no privacy, nothing is good!
It is like living in a goldfish bowl but a bit more cramped!
I was thinking of moving our bed out of the bedroom and getting a sofa bed for the living room. But we would have to get rid of our leather sofa and then we would have no sofa for when we move, plus they cost me an arm and a leg and i worked hard to buy them! Living in a hell hole with nowhere to turn!

At the moment i see no light at the end of the tunnel, i suppose i have myself to blame, i should of got a good job, saved, bought a house married a well secure man, then had a family! I really have let myself down.
My parents must be so ashamed of me.


And now my gum is starting to be sore again
Had a nice hot bubble bath to try and cheer me up, it worked a bit!
Off to finish dinner x

Oh hun - sending a hug! I would say try and be postive but I know it is hard when you feel rubbish. Take some paracetamol get a cuppa and have a long soak in the bath.
We have all made mistakes with money - thats why most of us are on here. If I hadnt wasted my money I could have given up work years ago - but now I am stuck and struggling to pay what we owe. My dream house came for sale 3 yrs ago and because we had so much debt I missed out. We could have easily afforded it had we been more sensible. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the house. Can you phone and pester them tomorrow to find out whats happening - take care:D
