    Don't feel bad about smalls , they are with family and probably loving it. Get yourself sorted first and be kind to yourself.

  • Hi Hidden, I hope that you are ok and that the hospital appointment was helpful. Don't feel bad about taking a bit of time for yourself this week (even make it an item on your list! :) ) maybe use an Amazon voucher to get a book you'd like to read or treat yourself to some bubble bath and a face mask, or stop off somewhere for a nice coffee :coffee:

    I hope you will keep using this diary, even if you use it for your to-do lists rather than debt busting. Take care of yourself :)
  • Thank you x

    I have definitely took more time to myself this weekend than any other time :o

  • Afternoon HI . Caught up with your diary this morning, I hope your feeling better now.

    I know you were so looking forward to going back to work but with your health and the little one still needing a lot of your time, would it be easier to wait a while and get carers for looking after little one until she is more settled. It may help your health if you aren't so rushed off your feet x

    Just clocking in to say that I hope things are back on the up Hidden. Probably sensible to put off the moving idea until the finances are a bit more on an even keel - with one exception to that advice, and that is if remaining where you are is putting you at any kind of ongoing risk...

    Shift the item on that list that is for yourself (the appointment) to No, 1 priority please - you ARE a number 1 priority. :)

    You've built a blanket fort and no one gets in unless they know the password? ;)

    Sorry... I just couldn't resist it :D

    You have, yet again, been a tower of strength in adversity.

    You are NOT a failure lass, you are an inspiration.
    I think that everyone who knows you on here has you and your little ones in their hearts and would do anything they could to help and support you through these rough times.

    You will beat this luv
    So chin up, get up and kick the s**t outta it ;)

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
