Feelin Down today

moments_of_sanity

As you may know from other posts, we are heavily in debt due to caring for a family member last year and today is a BAD DAY!!!

We have no money whatsoever until Wednesday this week when I get paid as the bank accounts are completely empty!!!

I really want to get this debt down to a more manageable level and have managed to do a few things - mortgage now on interest only, inherited property rented (although would love to sell) and I have decided to sell my car and either walk home or catch the bus as the cost of running two cars and paying extortionate parking fees every day just to go to work is crippling but it just feels like we take 1 step forward and 2 back!!!

Someone give me a kick up the preverbial as I am in danger of spending the whole day in bed as I am so fed up with it all !!! The debt problem seems to take over my whole life and it's all I can do to think of anything else!!!

I am sure this will ease in the next couple of months but for today i have had enough!!!

Sorry - whinge over! :mad:

Right get up & have a shower!

You cannot expect to rectify your debt problems overnight.
They took time to accumulate & will take time to solve.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself & do something to take your mind of it.

Is that a big enough kick?

Sorry you're feeling so lousy. (((Hugs)))
You're making progress and that's really good. I find it really frustrating sometimes that the debt isn't going down any quicker but we're doing what we can and that has to be enough.
It WILL get paid off (as will yours) and that's what's important.
Have you enough food etc in as you are out of money?
Now, get out of bed and go and check and let me know

Thank you so much, the straw that broke the camels back today is that my Daughter needs a new ruler for school (old one broke) and it costs 20p - I don't even have that give her!!!!

I have had a massive sort out and was doing a car boot sale tody but weather is bad so we in process of listing it on ebay, task in itself as i have never done it before!!! the thing is it was never going to be easy but are your repayments realistic to what you earn? if there not then you wont have enough to live on and then you will feel bad if u not eating properly etc.
