    I have had a trouble sleeping for a while but it's gotten far worse sinse I had my LBM. Thank you
  • Probably the reality of the totals all going round in your head.

    Focus on getting yourself back to your old self. The debt busting can take a back seat for a while.
    Your son needs his mum well and happy :)

    I try not to look at my bigger picture. (and it is big)

    I am trying to stay focussed on the smaller targets I am setting myself. I even paid a cheeky £3.50 on my target CC ;)

    Stick around and hopefully you will get your mojo back.

    Agree totally with 12 month, this time of year is very trying for most of us, I am already fed up with spending money. Stick around and just let us know you are ok.x

  • Hi Pops,
    Don't be down... it's a funny old time of year isn't it? I think we all feel it.. ought to buy Xmas presents but feel a bit guilty if we do and very guilty if we don't.
    How about next year just buying the odd bit if you see something nice...A scarf for someone if it's in the sale, stocking fillers for your little one in the sale..The sales are year round so the cost of Xmas can be speak nicely...oh and get your Xmas cards in Jan...the next year and you'll still be able to stay for cussed next year.
    It's hard when you see all the figures on paper, but honestly you should be proud of yourself for taking control. Give yourself a little break, your little one needs you well and happy,like 12 month says above, especially at this time of year. Taking care of yourself is one of the most important jobs you have as a parent. :hugs: x
