:mad:Sorry but today i'm going to rant I really want to scream :mad:

I am so fed up of people taking advantage, my mum and dad are great I can always rely on them for help even though they are in no better position. I also have 2 sisters both know how skint we are neither has even offered us a tin of beans OK maybe not so bad BUT older sister has in the past had hundreds off me in the past I have paid off bailiffs got her children school uniforms when it was needed and so mujch more I have never had a penny back nor asked, my younger sister and her husband a few years back got told they couldnt have a mortgage unless BIL cleared his credit card so I withdrew all my savings (they did pay it back 12 months later) earlier this year my 16 year old neice had a baby I leant her all my baby stuff but told her clearly we wanted to foster so would want it back....I had to call her last week as she was selling it via facebook she didnt even say sorry :mad: Also last year we advertised DH's car a little old run around for £500 with full MOT I had loads of emails including one from my nephew who asked if he could have it so we gave it to him as he was doing his lessons and would be perfect roll on 12 months the car is still sat on my mums drive and he is boasting on facebook about buying a VW Polo :mad::mad::mad: My mum has now put a for sale sign in the window (she has had 3 people in the past year offer to buy it) and told nephew to sign it back :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Is it just me being over sensitive or am I right to feel like this.

To top it off we had to buy a car yesterday for DH for work

Feeling a bit happier today although still keep welling up and wanting to cry which is really not like me!

DH likes the job hes on his second day and come home with lots of information regarding discounts etc they have in house mega sales and you can get between 60-90% off different items, the last offer was 70% off a dyson. Im glad hes back at work I no longer feel like I want to do him some damage!!

Im waiting in now for a call from the jobcentre I applied on 16th April and still not had a payment, they checked the system and found the problem so are going to try and release the money by my calculations it should be £440, my rent is relying on this so will be keeping on at them.

Im back just! Our internet has died again wil update once sky sort us out!

Hurry back your missed:)

happy_but_skint

Our internet is working!! for how long is anyones guess.

Its been a busy couple of weeks DH likes his job and has been moved to a specialist team.
It all kicked off with my nephew after 3 weeks of not receiving the V5 I asked him why he was ignoring me and got a responce to say he would take it out in a week or 2 when he had chance!! ummm if he can put silly status' on saying hes hanging around in parks he can put the V5 in the post! My email was really polite I said I needed it as was running low on shopping and needed to ensure I had food in for the kids and to do that before DHs payday I had to sell it. Well my BIL phoned DH and aparently he will thump me in the face next time he sees me its not nephews fault I gave him the car I should have said NO (hes right there, when nephew responded to my for sale ad asking if he could have it for free as was desperate I should not have said yes and helped him!) also rather than give it back as was the agreement they need the money and may just scrap it... this car is parked on my drive with no mot tax or insurance lol I was so tempted to drive it to a busy road and leave it as they have no drive and it is their car but its not in my nature I like to help people not try and cause as much hassle as possible.
DH is a very mild natured person I have never heard him shout like he did he told my BIL he had never met such a selfish, arogant, rude family such as them to which he said its not our problem if you cant feed your kids OH pointed out to BIL its not our problem either when you have bailiffs knocking or have left yours house empty due to upsetting neighbours and moved in with no warning leaving me to shared a room with the kids, or when we hadnt heard from them for 6 months and get a call to say their 16 year old is pregnant so can they have our baby stuff but we still went out of our way to help at which point they hung up. Sorry for the rant but I had to get it off my chest
It sounds like our family our a jeremy kyle type we really are not, my older sisters family are just very much take take take and she keeps buring bridges.

On the money front its all a bit tight as DH had to work 6 weeks with no pay due to starting after the payroll cutoff but we should then be OK also we have a huge phone bill as I have had no internet I have been yapping instead lol DH gave me a disaproving look when he saw it. Now I have the internet I may invest in a new SD card and get selling I have loads and loads of baby items and toys.

I will stop now and catch up on everyone diarys etc before this evening.

I sometimes think my family should be on the Jeremy Kyle show:rotfl:

Glad OH is liking his job and internet working,my internet is being a pain and im waiting for 7 different parcels to come from Sky to replace the router. I have recieved 1 which was the plug now just waiting on the other 6:eek:

happy_but_skint

Had a good day today, have saved a good amount first we threatened to cancel with sky and they have dropped our line rental to £1 for the next 12 months, saving £11 p/m.:j

Secondly we contacted Npower over a debt they were chasing us for at our previous property which included a £10 tracing fee they wanted our tennancy agreement for when we moved in to our current house as proof we didnt owe it. We pointed out to them that we were still customers at our new property from the date we moved in... I think the person I spoke to was a little embarrassed and agreed the debt couldnt have been ours as we were paying them for this house a sort of saving of £60 (we were telling the truth it wasnt our debt so a dodgy saving but felt good to be resolved!):D:o:D

Then we went to Bridgwater and got our nappys in boots to generate a £5 voucher for selected perfumes and managed to pick up a davidoff cool wave for £5 I will get another on tuesday! Great for stocking fillers I may pick DH up some mens No7 face wash stuff for his stocking :D:D I dont normally do stockings for adults but im determined this year to treat everyone so will have 5 for us and 2 for my parents

Ontop of this DH got a mobile contract with orange with a free laptop the mobile will be for DS for his birthday DH will have the contract sim and the laptop for when he starts college, as he now works for comet he gets 40% off the contract so will cost £20 p/m :j we currently top up £10-£20 so we wont be out of pocket infact will save on landline calls and I dont have to give up my laptop :beer:

Also just went for a glitch on mens boxers from the grabbit board, hopefully if it goes through 2 pairs of £30 boxers for free!
