I'm getting excited about payday on Wednesday, so I can pay some money off my debt, that really is sad :rotfl:.

I think that its a time of year for reflection and planning. I always end up in tears on boxing day. Irrational really, maybe a relief that the stresses in making Christmas good for everyone else is over . Onward and upwards tho .. 2015 is our year ladies, it is ahead and a clean sheet, lets write our own scripts. And thank you all for the great company in 2014 ! ( and guys btw ) x

Am I the only person that is thinking about money,debt busting, new challenges and breathing a sigh of relief now Christmas is over, bah humbug:rotfl:.

Glad you had a good Xmas PWPS.

I was thinking of debt, money and decluttering on Xmas eve:eek:

This year I was so organised with presents and food etc that Xmas Eve evening I had nothing to do so I came on here and thought about things I need to do :rotfl:

I have nearly 2 weeks off and I plan on a great declutter and some new challenges and I just wanted to get started. I can't even start today as it's my birthday and tomorrow pm we have panto - I just want to start tidying everywhere:rotfl:

Morning Pennywise,

Feeling so sad and don't know were to turn.

I don't know where to start really, from the outside looking in people would think we are happy, have a nice life, lovely children and a good marriage, yet only part of this is true. I think the only reason I am still married is because of the children and debt, I am so lonely and tired of being ignored and not listened to and being made to feel like a member of staff and not a wife.

As you all know I've been ill this month and carried on going to work and doing everything for the children,everything around the house and looking after animals, I bought all the presents, wrapped them all, a couple of times Dh asked who had bought something for the children on christmas day and I said we had, he literally turns up on christmas day and acts like a doting dad in front of his family having done nothing, now I will say he has also been ill over Christmas, but this hasn't stopped him going on his works night out and coming home in the early hours, twice going out for the day with his mates and is going out again tomorrow(this has all been in the past 10 days), although he is still ill, not sleeping properly because of his cough and sleeping all the time when he is home because he feels exhausted, I havn't spent any time with my friends over christmas because I'm just so tired, i'm doing everything around the house cooking cleaning etc, looking after the kids, looking after all the animals etc and I'm at my wits end, we are supposed to be going out tomorrow night to a party at DH friends house and I have decided I'm not going although I havn't told him yet, I know he will hit the roof as we are supposed to go out and look like the perfect couple but i'm sick of putting an act on, i'm sick of him taking the p1$$.

I do love him but I sometimes wonder is that enough, I have warned him in the past that one day the kids will grow up leave home and have their own life and then it will be my turn and if he thinks i'm going to sit around like a good wife waiting for him to fit me in when it's convenient then he is going to get a shock because i'm then going to live my own life like he lives his and put myself first, but I know he doesn't believe me, sometimes I think it's
ok I can do it, I can pay off this awful debt and get my life back when the kids have grown up and other times like now I feel as though I'm just an empty shell, with no purpose and that I can't go on pretending anymore.

Oh Pennywise, I'm so sorry to read that you feel like this . Im assuming DH knows how you feel? Not really sure what to suggest, maybe you need to sit him down again and give him a talking to (hugs) xx

please-let-me-be-lucky

So sorry to read you feel that way pwps, but also glad as it means you have admitted it to someone other than yourself. I know we can't do much to help you directly, but we can certainly listen and send virtual hugs, so please keep using us to help. Things sound very onesided so I'm not surprised you feel that way. I think you should sit DH down and tell him what you told us.

More hugs Xx
