hi all
Your right mit i know, problem it started getting to the stage not being able to pay everything and rent on shop wasnt going to be paid but at least mum stepped in dont know what i would have done. My snowball is scary as now have all of hubbys on there but at least we making headway. He understands at long last or we wil be in debt when we pensioners, not a thought i cherish!!!!
Been an emotinal week nephew got told he has hnpp which is a gene mutiation and now we know the symptons we think i have it to as when my wriat flared up it was the same nerve that he has probs with in his hand. As it rare it dosent always get diagnosed but as i have many of the symptons and have periphal nerve damage in legs we think this is why. dont know if i want testing. my poor sister is a mess and nothing we can say seems to help hate to see her so sad x Daughter came home today anf hates living so far away away from everyone as her bf was supposed to get transfer to bristol from cambridge in the police but it isnt available, so she living with his parents who are lovely but missing home so much cause bf she only sees every two weeks. cant wait until next year hope it gets better xMum 30k/29000

Aww what a sh*t time you and yours are having. What a shame. I dunno what hnnp is so I dont know the impact it could have but know how your sis feels as I am a wreck every time DS needs anything done. I am just a total puddle. Hopefully things will pick up and at least debt wise you are travelling inthe right direction now and things will NEVER be this bad again xx5 Year plan.

ty everyone
Poor mum is beating herself up she thinks she is the problem. I said they all got to stop there is a 50/50 chance that any of us have it, and it isnt anyones fault.
Fact is as sisters son has it it has either come from her or her ex. If it her then it came from mum or dad. As we dont have same dad then narrowing down symptons i would say it mum. that i she passed it to me and sis, but other sis has very mild symptons. Mine are qutie severe even down to having bells palsy which is a sympton and periphal nerve damage in my legs which is another. My wrist problem is the other along with my arms keep going to sleep is another. God its scary when you see it all written down. Ive always put mine down to bad back and neck and even not being able to paint above the head is another so when we decorated bedroom in aug had to get mum bf in to do ceiling as that is one thing that causes me problems. nightmare still dont think i want the test!!! On a positive note debts are going in right direction bank account looking a bit better so hopefully by jan will be in alot better position. Just waiting for a 429 refdund from aa to pay off cc as we overpaid on the loan but they wouldnt let us take the payment that had gone out the same day as the settlement figure off. So when we paid it off they have to send it back. Backwards if u ask me.Mum 30k/29000

At least we had some good news today. Little one also got tested for cystic fibrosis gene and it was negative. One thing less for my sister to deal with. Even i felt like a big weight off my shoulders didnt realise i was that worried about it. strange.
Just phoned the aa for the overpayment and they said it will take upto another 15 days to get it back!!!! Why they wouldnt let me take the payment tht i had paid off the settlement amount i will never know, stupid way of doing things!!!
Went window shopping today , infact idid buy a cardi but i came home 25 quid better off than iwent as i took a dress back that i bought in london as it looked good in the shop but looked like a bag of !!!!! when i got it home!
Thats a first for me rofl. Just got some bits out to put on ebay so hopefully they will sale. have decided the bits that havent got labels on going to take to the charity shop as i really do hate ebay!!!

Ah ty julie
My brain actually hurts!!! it been an emotinal week and dont think my hormones are helping. Im so angey its stupid. Cant get my head around anything at the moment and i think if anyone steps in my way id mow them down!!!!
Im one of these people when things get to much I just sleep got home from work tonight and was gone for an hour the minute my bum touched the sofa. Dont think hubby to happy with me cause im so grumpy. never mind he burys his head in the sand and then everything ok. I just look at those debts and dont feel like i got any ocntrol over the situation anymore.
I was ok until i found out about the other 30k more thnk that just tipped me. Least i know what they are now but even whne i ask him how much is outstanding on something he aint got a clue so its hard work.
Never mind today is another day!!!!!Mum 30k/29000
