afternoon diary.
havent managed to get on much the last few days as me and the boys came down with the sickness bug AGAIN!!! :mad:
not much to report on the debt front but i have spent £20 on petrol, £16 in lidls then i went to asda yesterday and spent another £30 on bits for ds2 as he still isnt 100% so i picked up more fruit, calpol, vitamins and soup etc. he has gone back to school today so hopefully he will be ok.
had a bad weekend regarding ex too so that didnt help, i dont know why he has to rub everything in my face
hopefully now things are back to normal i wont have to spend much this week.
managed to get to the job centre last week and i have an interview on thursday at a local pub but it will mean the boys going to the local after school club 3 days a week until 6.00pm :eek:
oh well onwards and upwards!!!Total debt- 2982.00 Now- £2890.000 -
Hello there fizzypops
I subscribed to this thread but have never written before. I have enjoyed reading your progress and give you a huge pat on the back and a hugs :grouphug: for doing so well on picking yourself up and getting on with things.
I was going to post tonight anyway because I was getting concerned that you hadn't been on for a few days. I am so glad that all is well except that you have all been unwell. Fingers crossed you and the boys are doing ok now. :j :j
Rise above the ex, he is probably jealous that you are managing so well without him. Don't let him get you down, he's not worth it. :mad:
Good luck with the interview, believe in yourself, I am sure you will get the job. I have everything crossed.
I will keep popping on to see how your doing and pass the odd comment.
Take carex

thankyou for your post footiemad.
i know i should rise above the ex but i feel like my emotions are getting worse with time if you know what i mean. i just want to feel normal again.
i think because i have tried to be so strong and not let anyone see me down i have so much built up inside me now and i feel i cant go on, i try to be civil when i have to see him but he is just playing mind games. :mad:Total debt- 2982.00 Now- £2890.000 -
There's nothing wrong with letting it all out, sounds like you need to go somewhere and have a good scream/cry before it all gets to much for you

your right Radish, i know i cant breakdown in front of the kids but it is when im with them that i hate him for what he has done and i miss he family unit i once had.
i feel like unning away at the moment, i seem to go through stages of coping quite well and then another bomb seems to land which puts me back to square one.
anyway i went for my job interview today and seemes to go quite well but another girl was waiting for her interview and she was saying to me that she had always worked in pubs/clubs and had lots of references so not holding my breath, at least i gave it my best shot though.
got my hsbc cc statement through today so need to pay a min of around £9 i think. i have totally lost my way on the debt busting front this last week so need to get my butt into gear big time. sorry for moaning!!!! :cool:Total debt- 2982.00 Now- £2890.000 -

Hi there
Dont beat yourself up for not being strong all the time. Believe it or not you will get through it. Look forward not back. you have come so far and are going great guns at your age and with two small ones to think about.
Pat yourself on the back and tell yourself your doing well.
And allow yourself a moan whenever you feel like it. You are allowed you know.
Fingers crossed with the job, just because the other applicant has worked in a pub before doesn't necessarily make her the right person for the job.
Chin and head up chick and keep attacking the debts its taken me an age to tackle mine but I am doing it now and things will get better with all the hard work your putting in. :T :T
