    Hugs. I have just read the first page of your last diary too, and you've done fantastically, considering what you have been through.

    Your head must have been all over the place to have had to deal with so much loss at such a young age, but you've hung in there, and it looks like there are going to be some very exciting times ahead with a little one arriving.

    Don't beat yourself up over the past, a lot of what happened was out of your control. A new chapter is starting where the strength you've developed will see you through.

    I am going to hold you to that drink x.

    Hi Milo,

    I am pregnant with my first baby due in August and my debts are about the same as yours....:o

    Do you rent out your second house? Do you get much money from that?

    You can end the listing but not shorten it.

    Are you on facebook? There are loads of selling groups on there you c could try and use instead of eBay.

    Try and resist that pay day loan :o

    I hope your OH has a lightbulb moment and looks for a job, surely something part time would help and not interfere with his music dreams too much? Bar work in somewhere he gigs?

    I would look into paying back the milkman and cancelling the deliveries too and just getting milk from a shop when you need it/buying bigger bottles so its cheaper.

    Found you :)

    I've just looked back at your other diary and I want to give you a big hug. The only hug smilie on here is a group hug one so this will have to do instead :kisses3: I'm so sorry for your losses and I think you're doing incredibly well considering everything you've been through.

    I love Ben & Jerry's peanut butter flavour too ;) (although if you have a Sainsbury's near you I can recommend their Belgian Chocolate and Salted Caramel flavour, ohmygod it's so good)

    Keep posting :)
