  • So so sorry to read that post. Take care and try and take it easy on yourself for a good while. Debt busting can wait whilst you recover.

    It's been a very hard few years for you, we know, and I know you will be OK.

    Much much love from us all xxxxxx

  • Oh Pinot, the combination of your bereavement and the horrible muddle over no-one knowing what the other people are doing sounds as depressing and exhausting as anything could possibly be - badly phrased but I hope you know what I mean. (((Hugs))) for you all.
    Better is good enough.

  • Oh Mrs PG I am so very sorry about your mum, and only 2 years since after your dad.
    Your post about DDs sharing everything with grandparents made me cry, because my parents also form a daily part of our lives, with a phone call most days, and the sharing of daily minutiae is an important ritual. I dread the future when they will no longer be there.
    Thinking of you and your family.
    Lots of love and hugs

  • please accept my deepest sympathy PG. My thoughts are with you. We had a death in our home a few months ago and now face terminal illness with my mother. Life can be very tough


    God bless you and your family.
  • Just a quick note to say life is tough but you can get through it. I lost my daughter through suicide six years ago, could not work, cards and bills etc mounted and in the end, I owed nearly 20K! However, with strict perseveranc
    e, a wonderful husband who could pay all the household bills, I have cleared everything. It took a long time, included cashing in two pensions (which were not large anyway) and I had the satisfaction of taking my bank for 3.5K for PPI!
