Hi.

Am over it for now though things got horrid here Saturday night and I did nearly leave....

Wrote a long post about it on the family board if anyone wants to read, not that you all dont give amazing advice!

I cancelled my driving lesson Sunday as was feeling shattered from Saturday *cancelled it Sat night when all the hoo haw was going on* and am still waiting to hear from my driving instructor to rebook which is making me paranoid now.....stupid I know but shes a good instructor and don't want to lose her!

I feel trapped enough here as it is without feeling my only means of freedom is being taken away from me.....

:o:o

Another payday has been and gone......

Things are less stressful between me and Simon though I do still prefer it when kids aren't here..... we only have them Wednesday this week though so have a bit of a breather.

Work is mental this week though, loads to do and as I have changed jobs I don't really have a clue what I am doing which is stressing me out.

I also have my theory test Saturday and feel totally unprepared so need to study as well as have a driving lesson tomorrow and until Saturday is over I wont be able to calm down, I can't afford to fail as I can't afford the monies and I passed it in 2006 first time so will be gutted if I fail this time!!!

Am scuppered trying to get home from work some nights now too as my Dad was helping me when Simon couldn't but he had a bad fall last week and has broken his wrist and collar bone and can't drive for at least 2 months now! So thats stressed me too (him being injured not the lack of transport).

Got to somehow get down to Surrey this weekend and pick up some Sofas from Simons dad as well as prob having another driving lesson! Life just feels really hectic and I am getting stressed!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Dinner time then will do a budget planner......

Hey you, glad things are better with Simon. It's going to take a while to adjust to life living with someone again and even more someone with children.

Good luck with your theory test sat let us know how it goes

Right so wages were £1375 this month but I have paid Simon £580 for all the bills here and the food budget, have paid off £120 on my credit cards and have had Simons birthday *which is today* to buy presents for and had to get a few work clothing items so have £600 left.

I need £210 for driving lessons *max* and going to put £100 into savings so that leaves me with £280 and have got direct debits to come out of that still for £110 so have £170 spending money in bank and have £25 left in my purse so could be worse I suppose!

Still could do with some extra money coming in from somewhere though.....

Now I still need to do some studying for at least 30mins, (I downloaded an Ipod app to help practice for my theory too) and have a shower and do some houseehold chores!!!

Is depressing having to pay so much out isn't it!

Hope the driving lessons are going ok.

Hope the theory test went well for you. As doodledo said, it will take time for you to get used to your new life - and Simon too. Hope that everything is working out well.

Passed the theory test with 50/50 on multiple choice & 59/75 on hazard perception

Now booking practical for beginning June! :eek::eek::eek:

Want to book our holiday by end of this week too, need to make a final decision on where to go!

Well done on the test!

Hope things are better between you two now.

Apart from him telling me that his ex is not having her contract renewed in Dec and her telling him the kids might have to come live here.....
