Making every penny count

Just heard from DH that he thinks his clutch has gone:mad: Now feel sick as we don't have the money to get it repaired . It also means that we can't go down to Dorset at the weekend as planned as we can't all fit in my car:(:( . Its just one thing after another !!:(:(

Won't make you feel better, but i feel the same. I just get things on track and then something happens. DH's car is also playing up so i can sympathise there. When i booked it into the garage they knew my address before i told them, so what does that tell you.

Hope some good news also pops in to restore the ying yang a bit.

Oh no, sorry to hear about the car - I bl00dy hate cars when they go wrong! Have you got it looked at, might not be as serious as you think - fingers crossed you get to go away this weekend.

Morning all,


I wish I could post a cheery post at the moment .... but I can't

DS2 is till off today and I am at home . Was going to send him back today , but there has been a massive fire locally and there is lots of smoke and ash in the air. As he has been off all week with a bad chest I didn't think it wise. As DH has my car this morning (:mad:) we had to walk to school and by the time we got there both DS2 and I were coughing quite badly. For a minute I thought we were really late as there were no kids in the playground, however we were not , the school were not allowing the kids outside as the atmosphere was so bad. :eek: I have called DH to make sure he is carrying his inhaler with him as he is asmatic and works outside :eek::eek:

Its a shame because its such a lovely day but you really don't want to sit outside in it.

Hope the sun is shining were you are

Thanks Taxi,

I must admit to being very upset last night. I felt like I was literally on my knees and felt like just giving up .

Thank you for being such a good friend .... my worries are nothing to what you are going through at the moment :A.

I hope the sun is shining in Blackpool any you have a lovely weekend with the little one;)

Love

40SM sorry to hear about your pants week - when it rains etc etc

I do hope next week is better and you feel bouncy and happy again, cuz right now I am guessing you feel like a 80SM!!

Sometimes it does feel like the world is giving us too hard of a time - but it will change, I promise!

Never ever give up and lifes too short to worry/stress about...worry doesn't cure things and will only make you ill.
It was very sunny here and way too hot..have had the back door open all day and it's still 23 degrees at this time in here...
