i had a lovely time in paris, thank you Maman
back home to dealing with repayments of my career development loan thats currently at £12,500 and they want £193 a month off me out of my £217 JSA :eek: having to try and convince them that i genuinely cant pay and its making me really want to drink just to forget that i have to deal with it. they've said to me that the current policy is court and if they do anything like that the career they lent me the money to develop is out of the window :mad:
last night was another AF night thought!0 -

I have'nt been AF since I've last been on...It's been really tough.....Mum's funeral was yesterday and it was persistertent rain throughout at the cemetary and afterwards. Then I tried so speak after my brother in church for the euology....I managed about a third of what I should have said, before I started shaking uncontrolablly and had to nod to my sister to carry on.
People said afterwards that I had done so well, and that I had reduced them to tears.... I just wish I could have read all that I was meant to...but I tried.... I think that when I looked up and saw people standing at the back cos there was no room left in the church, then it got to me....and also I definatetly do not do public speaking. I was so proud of my older brother and sister for what they did though, they did great and didn't crack up.
Had some bad news this morning..some ****** tried to break into my mums' house last night. Luckily my brother was there and they realised someone was in. My brother didn't want to upset us by telling us last night so we only knew today. The police have been and are going to take fingerprints tomorrow, and we've had to get a burgular alarm today.......some people are just not worth being on the planet.....I'm sorry I'm just fuming about that some people do that sort of thing.
I'm hoping to get back to normal soon and would like to be AF, but it's proving very hard xxLBM Dec 10. Total unsecured debt £41176 :eek: Nov 12 Debt Free Thanks Mum x RIP x

Morning :hello:
1 more AFD for the SNC please Bearacus.
Hayfever back under control. I will probably have an AF weekend while my symptons persist. Hope you're all enjoying the monsoon weather.
HAPPY WEDNESDAY
ShaggyxWhat do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.0 -

I had a friend at school who's father was an alcoholic. Her Dad had a good job (ex navy officer) her mum was a teacher and they had nothing in their house. It was quite shocking. My Mum used to say he drank everything in sight. Amazingly my friend's father lived into his early 70s when he did die of cirrhosis. My friend's relationship with her mum was affected quite badly by her dad's drinking - but they get on great these days.What do we do when we fall?
