Will be one less worry and a huge weight lifted.
I'll still be a worrier. Struggling with the weight of it at all a bit I think Debt/keeping to budgets/going over budgets/wasting things I can't afford to waste/germs/birthdays/cleaning/just daily stuff. Decisions that need making. I sit and think it's too much responsibility and I don't like being an adult - I wish I could pass some of the responsibility on elsewhere
Trying to juggle all the appointments around - maybe I should just suck it up and actually go to them as I'm supposed too!“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Oh boo to the phone screen
As long as it works though. DS's GF always seems to have a cracked phone screen thanks to the kids.
Great news on closing the cc, it needs to go forever.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
My DS said the other day that this being a growp up is not all it is cracked up to be~~All bills & responsibilities :eek:

I'm not surprised you struggle with it all at times. You're responsible for everything and then some with DD2's illness and from what you write it seems relentless. You're also doing it with very little or no support in real life. A lot of women are on their own with children but I don't think I've ever known anybody who doesn't have family or friends to help them out. It's totally understandable that you just want a break from it all.
What appointments have you got this week? Try and go to them, it'll be a weight off your mind if you do. x0 -
Thank you SA definitely glad to see the back of it.
I totally agree with him Beanie!
All appointments for myself tea. I've changed one of them already. Have a sort of Dr appointment in town I couldn't get through to change and my rent review. I could go. I have no real excuse. I'm capable of walking to town it's not like when I need to have a small with me. I should go then id stop worrying about the appointments “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0
