    Haha Sorry :rotfl:

    Morning all :)

    Feel let down today by certain family members ... Again :cool: I'll never learn.

    Might get the kids up and go for a walk.

    Might just sit feeling sorry for myself :rotfl:

    Ah but you will. Sometimes it takes a bit of time because you think everyone is the same as yourself and you're a nice person and you'd never let anyone down. But eventually you do learn that some people just can't be trusted or are too selfish and put themselves first. Sounds harsh, I know, but it's true. And you never feel sorry for yourself you're just too busy getting on with things.
    You have a lovely day with your wee ones. That's what's important. xxx
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.

    Afternoon WF,

    Re the coats I've made the same decision this year as I always buy them in August and they never need them!

    Hope you're ok, don't let them get you down xx

    As I expected said family member needed something this morning and they must have remembered they had my phone number and could call me ;) Anyway I'm over being sad about it. I just need to learn not to be sucked back in and becoming the mug time and time again.

    Anyway onto better things. Being Friday means payments go out. £25 to CT debt and I rounded the rent payment up so £25 came of the debt not £12.50.

    I need to pop for snacks for the theatre tomorrow. I don't want to feel I need to buy from there :o Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this :rotfl:

    Nothing much else to report I don't think. Weather is wet and I feel cold! So we've played with dolls house etc and watched movies.

    Hope everyone is well
