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

Thank you suffolk lass, I didn't think of it like that! Looks so much better.

The new debt will be going quicker and won't really impact the original debts other than over payments. I wasn't going to post about it on here but then obviously this where my survey/overpayments will be going.

Hope you're tooths okay and they sort it asap for you x

Well done for making the appointment and even better it is tomorrow so you have less time to worry and/or cancel. Yep, been there too.

If you can, make some notes to take with you. It will help focus your ideas and give you a bit of confidence too.

We can understand why you are overpaying but as EH says, don't make it impossible for day to day living.

You are starting to take control again which is great news. If help is offered tomorrow, please consider taking it.

You are doing great.

Take care honey
Pauline

Thank you.

I realised it needed to be discussed sooner rather than later and yes without the chance to cancel

Despite the new debt, you are making great progress on paying things off. The new debt would have cropped up and if you hadn't been paying off the old ones you'd really be in trouble.

Glad you and the kids are feeling a bit better

And .. on the token of unbudgeted spends!

School text its non-uniform tomorrow :eek: I was tempted to just let them stay off they haven't been in this week so far

Although no. I sent someone to As da to pick up the £1 white t-shirts and I've sat drawing European flags on them I can't afford another non-uniform 3 outfits that they'll likely wear once!

I don't think I've left the house once this week I'm quite anxious about doing the school run and leaving the house

This is why the smalls need to stay in school everyday other wise I find it so easy to fall back into not leaving the house

HI, I've just finished reading your diary!

It's like having an un-putdownable novel. I've sat up late reading more than once... and wanted several times to post, then had to remind myself that what I was reading was months ago.

I can only echo all the words of admiration your friends have already written, and wish you all the best for your appointment tomorrow... er, later today. You will find the way through, you are an amazing lady. I've subscribed to cheer you on.

Hope the appointment goes well for you today.

Hiddenidenity

Thank you

You need a medal for reading all my ramblings

Appointment went okay I think. I don't feel any better for it though So it was pretty useless tbh. Waiting for a call from somewhere else.

I have so much to do today. I really need to post the money I need to post. Even if I do nothing else I must do this

I have however got all the cleaning done. Got things ready for smalls tonight to have a movie night (Hopefully it is more successful than last weeks where smalls where sharing germs :rotfl:)
