Just a little note .....

Hi

Just a little note to let you all know how things are going. A few weeks ago I was very very very low. Everything was going wrong and every day it felt like things were going from bad to worse.
That bad weather finally finished off our roof and the insurance refused to help at all so we've had to get a loan for it (at the time i was convinced the bank would say no and that we would end up bankrupt because the house is our business and homeless) Our new bank manager was really good and the roofers start next week.
DS1 got made redundant (he's now madly looking for jobs and it doesn't seem so bad now)
Our dog has got cancer and needs regular ops to remove the lumps ( we can't cure this but we can spoil him rotten and make his life comfy and make sure he doesn't suffer.
Every little thing that went wrong felt worse because of the way I was feeling.
Just posting here helped me let off steam and the support I got from everyone was wonderful. Things are far from perfect but at least i feel like I've got the strength to cope now.
So a big thankyou to everyone who gave support:T :T :T
