    **Moan alert**

    Like so many here I am sick of constantly having no money.
    Juggling.Juggling.
    Being in pain, being tired.

    I know I have a lot to be thankful for but it does all get a bit too much at times.
    This is my life.
    I dont know how long I can keep doing this.

    Ouch, beanie. If you're anything like me, there's so much that needs doing, you don't know where to start. Is there one thing that would help? Examples of what I mean: drinking more water. Dusting. A cool shower. Fresh clothes. Watering a container plant then weeding it.



    Or do you need to talk on here? By pm if necessary?

    Aww Beanie - life does indeed suck at times and is a battle. Just hugs - just remember how amazing you are. But I know that doesn't help the pain and tiredness - wish I had a magic finger like ET to wave over you.
