    Fingers crossed that things start to look up very soon. You really deserve a break Bob :)
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭

    I don't post on your diary often Bob, but you sound like the more cheerleaders you can have right now, the better. From what I read, you work incredibly hard, give so much to family and friends, and deserve a lucky break.

    Here's hoping karma sends you the good stuff you deserve.

  • Oh Bob, poor you. Sending you huge support vibes. I hope you're able to figure out a path through the stress and work out the best route to move forwards with.

    Divorcing, unclear on final debt total right now, but focusing on building a financial buffer zone.

    Thanks all of you. And at the risk of sounding dramatic, it isnt a pain like a headache, just that feeling that your whole life is going to hell in a handcart and you feel like you are just about managing to keep from bursting into tears on the street, that sort of pain. I really will go now, as I dont like pity parties. Hopefully I will sort myself out very soon.

    Morning Bob, I can relate to the feeling. Big hugs to you lovely lady xxx
