    Thank you x

    I don't think the housing will get back to me now to be honest. I've paid the court fees and owe the debt to elsewhere. Im glad I don't need to deal with the court officers anymore.

    Thanks Beanie it's tomorrow but I did get myself an emergency GP appointment this morning. Not that I feel much better from that. Will see what tomorrow brings.

    Older two been at school - more school dramas from DD. Seriously girls can be horrid. Especially seeing they are only 7 and 8 years old.

    Spent the day sorting stuff that's a never ending list of !!!!!! to do.

    Fed up :o

    Youngest wants to go on holiday - I agree with her. If only we could run away for a break.

    Thanks again for all stopping in. I'm sure I'll be back to more positive posts when I've found my feet again.

    I still owe the debt TF. Just not to court now. I took a different debt on to pay it off.

    Holiday isn't until the end of October. I just hope we can go then. It's so far away who knows what the situation will be then.

    Thank you TF

    Thank you HH

    The debt is still a weight on my mind but I'm grateful that it doesn't involve court and bailiffs anymore.

    I don't think there's anything that can help :o Even breathing feels like a chore and I constantly have the most sick feeling. I guess I just feel lost and don't know what to do next. I feel like I've failed on so many fronts and not sure how to repair it or make it better. I know I need to make happy memories with the smalls but where? How? How can I make sure it's good things that are remembered. Where do I start? Millions of questions with no answers.

    Smalls are all in bed. Youngest is asleep in my bed.

    Thank you again

  • Can you ring the crisis team Wannabe? You sound like you need someone to talk to in RL.

    You're right WB, debt is debt whoever it's owned to but I'm sure most people feel the same as you when you say it's a weight on your mind. It will get paid off eventually. :)

    You sound like you're going round in circles at the moment. What do you mean when you say you want to make sure the DC's have good memories. Do you mean you want to do things with them like the cinema, park, beach or do you mean something completely different? Or don't you really know? xx

    I'm okay HH they really wouldn't be much help :o I do have an appointment tomorrow though.

    Thank you pmo2

    Tea I mean everything. Doing things we are able to do why we are all capable of doing it all together. Trying to find ways to fit in everything why we can all enjoy it while obviously becoming debt free/managing the budget better and managing myself better. I feel like even just the last 6 months things have changed so much and we fit in less and less of the good stuff.
