Posts: 2,133 Forumite


Listed a load of books on amazon,had them in a box in the living room-my 3 year old tipped her glass of juice into the box so half the books are now not fit for sale 
Plus my bank is taking 2 month's worth of debit interest(for the overdraft) in one go this month.Something to do with the statement dates.
Plus my eldest needs £5 for an advanced cycling course at school(important as I would like her to cycle eventually).
Why isn't it getting easier???
I know it's just this month-next month I will have some quidco money and some amazon money(sold a book this morning) and some mystery shopping money and it's a 5 week month which is always good as there's extra for debt but right now I AM STRUGGLING!!!

Look back at other hard months and just remember that you got through them and you will this time too. I am sure you will get through this, just take 5 and remember how you have a lovely daughter to see the positives in being you.
I think life’s meant to be hard and a struggle at times, it's part of life development for when your old, so you can say "in my day"... "you young-ins have it easy" - i.e. learning to be grumpy for when you're old, lol
One positive note, you've got another story to tell your little one when she grows up - tipping her orange juice on the books, naughty little sausage!
Make sure to embarrass her when she's old enough to bring bf's home by telling him of her antics as a child0 -
Dry off the books
Jeez some of the stuff Ive bought off amazon looks like its been located in a skip!:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -

My cat once !!!!!! in a box full of my favourite books. I could have cried as they stunk no matter what I did to them and I had to throw them away.
It even included books I had kept from childhood.
Pets and kids eh? who would have em0
