Ive just read through your thread and i'm shocked that you're still with your husband. I can't understand why you would put yourself, and especially your daughter through this stress. You're contant decluttering and tidying of the house is stress, brought on by your situation. You need to sell your house and walk away with your daughter and start afresh. or go bankrupt. I can see a bit of me in you, to a lesser degree. i've had two husbands for twenty years in total, first one 7 yrs, second 0ne 13 years. Second one left three weeks ago, and i was left with my two kids. Best thing he could have done. I feel much happier, there are no arguments and i'm in control. I hadn't ever been alone in my adult life, but its liberating!! Please see sense.xx0

thank goodness its OH's payday on monday!:j
I have been busy this week starting to put things on ebay plus doing some home baking, like pies etc. Going to try and tackle making my own bread for the first time over the weekend. OH is working all weekend so thats good, at least money will be earnt instead of being spent!
I was going through the drawers in my kitchen, and to my delight, I found valid tesco clubcard vouchers worth £20!:j So at least I can get some bits and pieces if I need to. I am hoping not tho, going to try and get through the weekend with whats in the freezer and cupboards. Save the vouchers for another time. Cant believe how excited I got over some vouchers lol.
Thank you guys as always for your message of support. I have been job hunting like mad this week also. You never know, fingers crossed something good may happen. Its not as if Im not trying!
Hope you are all well JC xx:)LBM: April 2009 - honest debt figure: Secured: £0.00!! (paid back april 2017) unsecured: £53117.48 (roughly):eek: back with CCCS starting again:(0 -
Well the sun is shining for a change, what a beautiful day
Feeling pretty good today as some of the stressful situations that I have found myself in over the last couple of months with DD having issues at school, is now all sorted and gone! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest.
I have sorted out my budget for the month for food, petrol, other expenses, maybe a small treat already, and I am going to stick to it! Still waiting to hear about a couple of jobs, so fingers crossed.
Ebay mania starts this week:rotfl::rotfl: once and for all I am gonna get my backside in gear and get sorted!
Have a lovely day everyone!xx
