  • I feel like I'm really proving I can do this and while my life is different to others that doesn't mean I'm beneath them. I'm sure that will make more sense to some more than others.

    You're certainly not beneath ANYONE. Most people couldn't cope with what you deal with. You're amazing, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    I feel much better and much more organised. My anxiety is really feeling under control too. I feel like I'm really proving I can do this and while my life is different to others that doesn't mean I'm beneath them. I'm sure that will make more sense to some more than others.

    You’re not beneath ANYONE - we are all different and the world is all the better for it. Don’t judge a book by its cover - as the saying goes. People might have posh houses and big cars with a painted smile - but many have big overdrafts, unhappy lives and the children are passed from pillar to post because parents have their priorities up the creek.

    You try hard and put your children first- your day will come :beer:

    Monthly is cheapest but I can't do that :o So weekly is my best option for now. I'm hoping by the end of half term the weather will be better and we won't need them :o Optimistic maybe for where we live :rotfl:

    I'm so glad you are feeling better, and I agree, you are not beneath anyone!

    I'm going to try and take a leaf out of your book with the strict budget this month, you are inspirational, feeding them so well on such a tight budget x

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
