HI Sea, It sounds as if you're going through a heavy time. If it helps to talk about it here, do that and don't feel any need to apologise. Or if you want to take time out from MSE, that's fine as well. You know that we're all thinking of you and wishing the very best for you and the children.Total debt: 1 January 2007 £[strike]49,387.79[/strike] 1 January 2012 £[STRIKE]19,312.85[/STRIKE] 1 August 2012 £11,517.620

Hi Sea, xxxxxx, I think we all arrive at crossroads at some point and in actual fact we all have the same doubts and questions to pose some more than others. One thing is for sure we will probably cross paths at some point. I hope you can choose the right way. You're doing great my love LennyThis is a system account and does not represent a real person.

awww...thanks for the support guys - wish I'd come on sooner!!
Right...MSE wise...managed to spend fortune in tesco (£86) but got enough for 2 weeks and got over 1100 clubcard points as wellAlso used about £10 money off coupons too. So all good really. Been cooking better meals too.
The children are well - yippee!!! William is going through the terrible twos and having a rough time of it - as is his sister as a result! He's just so strong and doesn't realise it really...still in our bed too to go to sleep but is sometimes then transferring to his own bed...yawn!
Might do some scrapping tonight to relax, but also need to get cracking witht he marking and the reports...actually will need to start that soon as it's going to take a while!!
Debts are slowly going down - the figures are all over the place, so will combine them all at the end of the month and get an accurate figure now. But it's all good as reducing!! OH's CC is not but I refuse to take responsibility for that. His decision. His mess.
All my clothes seem to be giving up - so I'll have to reluctantly go shopping - had to go get bras the other day as realised the strange misshapen things I had could no longer be called bras lol!! Still, managed to get bargains and that - which always makes the spending better.
oooh nearly forgot...
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY ALL!!

Enjoy buying some new clothes (without guilt) as we all have to buy them sometimes.Hope you have a good weekend..take care xx0 -

2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Taxi - I got loads through for baby stuff, like 500 points if spend over £20 on baby items, and 150 points if buy 2 johnsons products etc. So I substituted getting body lotion for baby oil instead etc. I've joined all the tesco clubs I can. Might be worth you doing it, especially if you need baby items at your house and buy them anyway.CCCS DMP:Feb 07

Have you got lozanges or simular? They really help with teh going up the wall cravings!! YO get get them on pescription but TBH with paying (we get them free in wales!) it may be as cheap to buy - may be worth investiating? Well done on both counts though!
