When things hit rock bottom the only answer is to fight the way back up...

Oh no Hidden, it's one thing after another From past experience, bad things tend to happen in job lots.

Hope you can get something sorted.

Take care xx

I've borrowed a smalls tablet for tonight, they decided they wanted to stay over there still and they can contact me on the tablet tonight until I ort something tomorrow.

It is in rice as we speak, although I think its gone to the phone graveyard this time. With the missing glass on the screen I think it will have gone too far. Not to mention the 70 degree wash. So angry with myself

Have PM'd you missus

Quickly catching up before dropping smalls tablet back over at mums.

DD has a sickness bug so is coming home this morning and no school for her. Will make her comfortable in her bed with cartoons.

I have to clean again today and I will have to pick up some antibacterial stuff. Sick is a major trigger and I just hope she's coming home as the sickness has ended Bad mum

The phone still doesn't seem alive Although if smalls do come home today I will be able to use DS computer in between him doing his homework. I don't think Mum will let the tablet stay here :rotfl:

Hope everyone has a wonderful day. I will hopefully be back later with debt update although I don't think much has changed other than adding the new debt

Oh no sorry to hear about the phone, I hope it dries out. Mine had a nice bath after DS put it in and somehow it still worked afterwards.

Unbudgeted spends

Will add the debt from this week onto November.
It's definitely likely to rise tomorrow £££

This will grow as the appointments come in for the month.
Must squeeze in my own appointment and chase a referral I've been waiting too long for.

Paid mum with some survey funds that cleared. £50 from populus focus group, £40 from onepoll £20 from panelbase and £170 from PA. 'borrowed' myself £30 from youngests DLA account Feel guilty about 'borrowing' from this account but I will repay it.

This was survey money saved for DS room/bed and carpet etc. However clearing the money to Mum needs doing because she found out about the new debt and wasn't happy she wouldn't be 'first' in line now.

So on the back of all that.

I still need to pay some of the new debt, will know full depressing state of that after tonights appointment though so will update that later.

I needed to grocery shop for some fresh things really but now I can't really so need to do a different meal plan.

I need to get my smalls back home where they belong and consider options with rift between Mum and other 'special' person in smalls lives.

I need to kick myself back from feeling sorry for myself. Whats done is done and only what happens next matters now.

We have no emergency fund anymore :eek: Youngest's DLA is safe though and I will replace the £30 ASAP.

I think after sorting 'new debt' along with £6 to school trip £1 to nursery we will be near enough at just pennies left until next time something comes in. However we will have food, a roof and gas and electric. That's a lot more than some around x

Also the plan for DS room now is finish painting with what we have.
Survey for carpet first £28 needed
Look everywhere possible for a bed

That's all that is needed everything else we can do over time/using gifts

Is that your Mum's debt totally paid off now?
