    Have u got anyway of making any extra income? i felt like you but peeps on here have been great.
    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.
    If u havent read it yet read millionareintraining diary she is quite an inspiration and love reading her threads as she has bad says to and rally good at advice.
    i know everyone prob have advised all this already but hope it something u cand o to make things easier.xxx

    thank you - I did E-bay a little while ago and made about £30 which helped. Unfortunately apart from my car I have nothing else to sell, none of the debt was luxury items, it was simply looking after a terminally ill relative and all the expense that goes with that - shopping for them for 6 months, numerous hospital visits which took extra petrol/parking charges and DH taking unpaid leave from work for 3 months with 24 hours notice. Even now though, knowing how difficult it is to sort this mess I would still do again what we did then, we made a Mum's last few months of life, enjoyable (if that's possible) and gave her the best care we could even allowing her to pass away at our home as that was her final wish (wasn't easy explaning to a 13 & 14 year old but we got through it) :j

    Could go and make some cakes but don't have any icing sugar - anyone got any good ideas with how to put a topping on the cakes without icing sugar? ;)

    Spun sugar? If you have normal sugar you just need to melt it then make a mess!!! It does taste nice but you may have to soak your pan for several days!!:D

    Glad you are feeling better!
