I'm sorry to hear your DW isn't very well Bonnington, it must be very hard for you to carry the debt burden on your own
. My month seems to have been quite similar to yours financially as one of our CCs has increased, although others have decreased. I'm hopeful that overall the situation has improved, even just a little.
I'm glad you're getting some comfort from music. I really enjoy listening to music, and really couldn't get through the day without listening to some music.
Keep your chin up, you/we'll get there eventually

Hi bonnington, just popping in to echo what Been has said. It's a big burden to carry on your own but I can see why you feel you have no other option.
Keep on plodding..it will get better

Just got a laptop short at present.
Further issues with HP and the laptop they said they would repair free of charge after we made a complaint. This afternoon their repair told me they wouldn't. :mad: More time on the phone to the retailer who agreed the repair with their complaints team initially.
Hopefully now sorted and should be getting repaired free.
Update on the CPAP for my sleep apnea. Monday night was not much fun. DW hated the sound of me breathing. Tried to sleep in the lounge on the sofa. Not much fin and kept having to take it off. About 3:30am I decided to leave it off and go back to bed.
Last night I decided not to use it as needed more sleep than the previous night.
Hoping to give it another go tonight.
Issue I had was trying to take a deeper breath but was unable to do this and had to life it off and turn it off as I felt I was not getting enough air to breathe deeply.
Still need to sort out finances for the month. I have been trying to catch up on surveys as well.
Will post more another day.
Hi Bonnington
Just a quick note as I saw what you said about the Cpap machine, stick with it as the results will outweigh the problems I promise you, hope you manage to gt some sleep and take care will catch up later

Bonnington, very happy Belated Anniversary to you and Mrs Bonnington. Sorry I missed it.
Glad you have the Cpap machine but it does sound like its going to take a bit of getting used to. Stick with it if you can, I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run. xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Take care and i will keep reading.0 -
Hope you have got on better with the machine and are getting some sleep.
What a pain in the backside HP are, being such a big company you wouldnt think they would mess people around so much xElectric and Gas Predators 17/£700:j:j:j October make £10 a day challenge :j:j:j£155/£3100 -
evening bonnington, i hope you manage to sort out the machine soon, it sounds a pain but as others have said it will be worth it
It sounds like you have some good plans there to move and get rid of the mortgage i hope these come to fruition for you and your dw, she sounds very unhappy. I completely understand how she must be feeling, i've had jobs where i spend the entire weekend worrying about going to work on monday as i hated it so much.

Wow Mr B..there is always loads going on isn't there. I particularly hate the hassle of dealing with incompetent people..I have had the misfortune to deal with 2 in the last 48 hours and that laptop and indeed such a critical error from the agents would make me think you have been dealing with 2 incompetents as well! Oh and there was BOS as well wasn't there..no wonder sleep is an issue!!
Really hope the machine helps. Do you try a walk before bedtime? I find the exercise, fresh air and a chance to clear my head really helps.
Hope you're taking it easy today and have a productive day tomorrow!MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
