    Evening.
    I'm not staying on too long tonight, don't feel very sociable at the moment. Quite a few things going on in RL that are making me feel so down it's unbelievable, cap that off with the complete and utter loneliness I'm feeling at the minute and it doesn't make for a good situation. I'm not sleeping well, which doesn't help. Not being able to leave the dogs for long is making things worse, as is having to clear up every time I do leave, not to mention the amount of money to replace everything before my annual housing officer visit.
    Being given a hard time for deciding that I'm not the best person to look after 'the beast' by so called animal rescuers is really getting to me. At least I haven't just advertised him on scumtree and given him to the first person who said they'll take him, I care where he goes to, I want him to be looked after well, I want him to go to someone who loves him as much as I do:(
    I can't talk to the person I usually talk to because she's got her own problems and tried to end it all last week after having a breakdown a few days before:(
    Life just isn't fair, those of us who play by the rules get all the carp of the day thrown at us while others 'seem' to get an easy ride. Or maybe they're just like me, they hide everything away, let the world think they're doing fine while underneath they're falling apart , if only someone would notice that little bit of sadness lurking behind the facade they would realise that person needs help.

    So after giving a little insight into my carp mental state and potentially bringing the thread down I'm gonna try and get some sleep, I'll probably be vey restless and grind my teeth as usual then wake up in the morning feeling like I've been up all night.
    I feel a little better for 'saying' all that so hopefully will sleep a little easier.

    Goodnight

    Hey I hope you slept well SD. Playing by the rules aint so bad you dont have to worry about old misdemeanors catching up with you.

    You need to concentrate on you for now otherwise you are going to drive yourself nuts !

    The Dog really has to move on, its better for him and you. He needs more space than you can give him and you need less to worry about and deal with.

    Its not selfish or cruel. Quite the opposite. Believe me you are very much loved here and I know it sounds daft a load of virtual strangers. But we are people you can trust and talk to. PM anyone if you feel you dont want it public. We all came on here looking for something. Initially money saving but that is usually because we are struggling in RL. And its not all about money.

    What we found on the whole is friendship.

    You are my friend and I think of you often xxxx:Axxxx

    I tried using a £5 off £40 along with the cutlery in my T's. They actually stopped and said are you going to be using the vouchers as I have to do those first :(
    :D Coupons = the only money we can legally print for ourselves:D

    :j A coupon for a free item that is price glitched in Mr T's to be cheaper than Sada for an apg = HEAVEN :j

    :money: total = £47.48 cc = 413 selling stuff = £23.00 Floor pennies = £5.79
