It just gets worse :(

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 child :)

    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 em :)
