    Today should be a NSD, so that will help the budget.

    Tried to cheer myself up by using a home hair dye I had. O....M....G. It’s soooo red. I look like a matchstick. At least it’s made me laugh, it’s either that or I’ll cry. Will just tell everyone it’s my homage to bonfire/fireworks night!!

    Thinking of you, and hoping that your strength and tenacity and kindness to others will be rewarded
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, crack open the Gin......
    Or as my Mum would instil, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    I'm sure the bright red will soon fade Lucky, I bet it looks fabulous though :)

    No bright ideas to boost coffers I'm afraid, I'm rubbish at that sort of thing, I'd just bung spends on the cc which isn't the answer of course :(

    Thanks for all your lovely comments everyone. My account bonus of £11.13 has been paid, so less the £1 fee for having the 123 account, I’m £10 up :T. It all helps. We now have £50 for 8 days after that and yesterday’s NSD, which is slightly better than the £40 for 9 days we were facing Xx

    I want to cry :(. A friend has asked me to list some things on eBay for her. Just went to get the last item and my cat has wee’d on it :mad::mad:. She was hoping to make around £40 on it so I’ll have to pay that now. It’s the last straw for the cat. She has feline dementia and I’ve been trying to let her live it out but I feel it’s causing too many problems now :(.

    There is always a tipping point & sounds like you have reached it.

    Thanks beanie. I know it’s the right thing, but I still feel murderously wretched about it :(.
