Thanks to you all for your hugs and kind words... You really shouldn't have said i could rant tho! :rotfl:

So the reason i haven't been on.... First up, 3 deaths in the space of a couple of weeks. Some family, one friend (31 years old ). Then another girl i know who has been fighting cancer has been told she has 8-10 weeks left to live (she is only 27). To top that off she had a fire last week. No insurance. Lost everything. Now homeless. With 4 kids. How sad is that?? Fab community spirit tho because lots of locals have rallyed round and given her stuff. But still, rubbish isn't it? I've spent hours/days ringing round companies ect for donations. Gone through my own stuff and send loads of stuff round for her. Anyway... on top of all that.... MONEY!! :eek:

Money is SO SO bad at the minute. I thought things were going too smoothly and were too good to be true... and they were. Now in a much worst position than i was due to some unexpected bills/debts dropping through the letterbox. Hubby is still earning ZERO! This month i am £421 SHORT to pay all my bills. Hubby doing what he can, but i'm just so depressed at the minute that i can't explain what it is i'm trying to say. Does that make any sense?? Nope. Lol. Then to top everything off, my overtime has come to a sudden STOP. This could not have happened at a worse time believe me.

I just feel like i have sooo much on my plate. And i can't cope. I really can't. Could not face coming on here. I can't sleep at night. I'm exhausted through the day. Me and DH are arguing really badly. And the most worrying thing for me is my thoughts. Not really sure i should share them tho. Because they scare me. But i just think life would be so much better for everyone if i wasn't here.... I can't believe i just said that. But none of you know me i guess so maybe that makes it ok to me.

I just feel like.... aarrgggg!!! I don't know. Just aarrgggg!!!

Anyway... sorry to bore you. Told you i would just bring the thread down. Money making.... not much to add in 3 weeks. A £5 off MrT's voucher i used on my mams shopping. She let me keep the £5. :A Ermmm, i can't think of anything else at the minute. I can't think of anything at all lately! My head feels like its in a cloud and everything is all muffled and blury. If i think of anything i will add it....

On a plus note (yes there is one), i went through my wardrobe and anything that i haven't worn for a year or does not fit, if its too big or too small, has been bagged up. So i have LOADS of stuff for ebay. And i mean LOADS.... Shame i don't have the motivation to do anything about it. :rotfl:

Now...time to stop feeling sorry for myself... Please feel free to come along, tell me to stop feeling sorry for myself, and give me a good kick up the a*se... :o:o

I've just realised my gas has run out.... And i don't get any money till Saturday (in theory its monday for my tax credits but goes in my bank on a saturday thankgod). Lets hope i can raise some money fast to get some gas, or lets hope the weather stays fine! Last thing i need at half term with 3 kids! Lol!

Oh CP, bless you sweet. If I can only give you one piece of advice, it would be to keep posting on here. You know how much support this thread will give you, even if we cant physically pay your bills, we're here for you just to sound off. Who cares if its off topic, I'll listen!

You such a sweetheart for helping your friend and now we're here to help you. There was a house fire down my way a few days ago and if I remember rightly, the lady had 4 kids. You not in Devon are you?! Anyway, I know your doing a fab job looking after your friend but dont forget that charity begins at home darling xxxx

Regarding XBingo withdrawal's, I asked support and can confirm having done it, that if you are short of the £20 min withdrawal, you can deposit more and withdraw the whole amount straight away. The only snag I found was that I couldn't seem to deposit in anything other than £10 multiples, so to get my £8.36 winnings out I had to deposit £20 to withdraw £28.36 That's another £8.36 to add for this month.

Thanks to everyone, especially the 2 who have PM'ed me. Both made me cry...:o

Sorry for last night. I was alone, and down, and i needed to talk i guess. Reading back over it, i sound crazy.

Anyway, i'd just like to say i'm a little more positive this morning. Check my back account and i forgot that my CSA payment was due and there was a nice shiny £24 there. So have been and got some gas! :j The weather is actually quite nice today so hopefully i won't have to use too much of it!

Just a quick post for now... My neighbour has just called over and asked if i want a ride out in the car with her. I'm taking her up on the offer because i need some adult conversations, and my son and her son will probably just run around together at the park.

Will be back later. Thankyou to all of you for taking the time to reply. Its means so much. (big hug smily to all...no time to find it, lol)
