Oh Dinah (and NIM of course)
So happy she seems to be pulling around from it, but it all must be so overwhelmingly terrifying. She's shown her strength as a little fighter though and while it all baffles me, I'm really sure she'll pull through this fine too. Hope you're both doing okay too
Did you get my FB message? I've had a card for little Grace waiting to go, I keep forgetting to get your address! 0 -
Thank god her consultant was willing to break the rules. Hope they can work out what's going on as well. Must have been so scary to have her home and making progress and then all this happening. Big hugs to all of you and hope Grace can come home soon.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170

So sorry to hear that Dianh and NIM, what an awful thing after she'd been doing so well and was at home. I'm so glad the consultant was able to admit her, and it's great to hear Grace is responding well so far.

Really hope Gracie's doing well today, it's a good job that everyone worked so quickly and broke the rules for her

Hope everyone else is having a good week
I'm having a slight money meltdown, mainly in that I've just been paid but my bank account is almost empty already due to having to pay for stuff that I committed to a while back. I seem to be stuck in a cycle ATM of starting every month short because I owe stuff from the month before and I can't get caught up.
I feel terrible for OH too because there's nothing left of our share money for him; he wanted to get a new bike as he hasn't been able to replace the one that was stolen but basically between my f*** ups with money and us choosing to go a little over budget on the car and holiday there's nothing left for him.
I really want to make it up to him but I've got NO money spare to put aside for him. I wish I hadn't agreed to go to see Lady Gaga with SIL, the costs for that trip are mounting and I can't really afford it. I might ask her to put the word out to see if she's got any friends who'd like to take my place. I have a day off work on Friday and I'm spending it working for my Dad so I can get a little extra cash I'm that desperate.
Sorry for the ramble, but I feel really p!ssed off with myself right now, it doesn't help that OH's so disappointed with me that he's been a bit distant too

Birdie, we've all been there, don't beat yourself up too much.
Saying that there is nothing left from the share money for your OH - the car and the holiday are for him too aren't they?
Good on you as well using your day off to get some extra cash
If you're starting each month short and have no way of having a frugal month to catch up then getting some extra money in is the best way of getting back on an even keel. Debt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0
