    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    aww greent, you are amazing person to have to deal with so much personally and still you have your mind set on ops and doing extra bits for extra cash - truly inspirational.
    I have only dealt with mild depression in my family, we've had to call the police out to my brother a couple of times when he rings my mum threatening suicide. I think its a big cry for help on his part and really hard to try and cope and deal with. I dont know how you cope in all honesty, you must be a very strong person but also not having time for yourself too, make sure you rest.

    take care and big (((hugs)))

    Afternoon all - aren't you all a lovely bunch of folks -:kisses::grouphug: all round :)

    Just popping on to say £100 OP just sent - £35 from NCT sale, £42 from £2s + 1ps, £12.50 from ebay & rounded up because we just got a mega deal on OH's mum's 60th bday pressie and saved a shedload. WIth vouchers, codes and cashback we've actually ended up paying nothing :T

    Current bal appx £88545. Still awaiting annual stmt from C&G (31st Dec date) so I can reset figures on s/sht. Grr!!!

    Still no job :(:( Have a meeting with accountant 7th March and will take it from there. May have to reign things in more from now on :( We're committed to paying for some things like some school trips though - eek!

    Love and hugs to all

    Morning all :)

    Usually OP has gone out this month, along with £75 (finally got cashback from changing energy suppliers last May!!)

    OPs YTD = £2715.52. Balance o/s = £87432.86

    Still no job/ nothing on the horizon - but we shall keep plodding on. OPs will be less from now on, though, as we are using savings for day to day living right now :( I shall OP from ebay/ cashback etc (ie: 'extra' money) and try to maintain the 'standard' OP in our usual DD each month as well.

    It is nice to hear from you even if it is only to say you are plodding along. Must be hard. At least you have some savings behind you though, and i know you are as resourceful as you can be.

    The sunshine we keep seeing must be helping your DH a little. I know it is me.
