Mum a tractor has just run over my mobile. This phone call from DS (on his mates phone because his is now destroyed) sums up how my day has been.
Phone cost £120 and is not even 2 months old. Oh and car MOT bill will be £350.

At least it wasn't 'Is that YLJunior's Mum? A tractor has just run him over'.
Himself is not working. Again. He did four hours and then threw a massive panic attack and now 'can't do it'. He has been instructed to go to the effing doctor, as this is taking the absolute effing something (as he's managed to go to rehearsal with stressy band for a stressy gig in a stressy location tomorrow).
I can't see how doing something properly stressful is doable if something less enjoyable but actually helps pay the bills isn't - and I can't help but feel that it's more wanting to stay cosy and happy whilst somebody else does all the work and grown up things than it is something medical. In short, I suspect he's now saying he'll do something about it in the hope I'll say 'oh, you're ill, don't worry your pretty little head, I'll look after you' and never mention earning an effing living and paying one's effing way ever again.
I'm at the end of my tether. I don't want to cause any harm to him if I'm wrong and it's normal for a mental illness to do things I would find incredibly stressful (travel, strange places, people, band politics and NOT GETTING PAID FOR ANY OF IT when somebody else is being worked into the ground to feed, clothe and house you), but I just cannot reconcile this in my head.
And he knows it. Because I've told him very clearly.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -
Morning All
Have been wide awake since 3.30 as a) I have a horrid cough and can't sleep b) it's the funeral today and c) money worries causing anxiety issues to go through the roof. If anyone has a spare £5k on their magic money tree I would really appreciate it.
Waiting until 5.15 then will walk the dog.
Posivibes for today please xMFW

Not working this morning, so I need to concentrate on insurance claim for rental house which is rapidly turning into a frog and washing.
I am up and showered, just need to go and get dressed.
Still on target with the evening walks, 3 out of 3 so far and last nights ended up being very brisk at the end as the conversation went 'it feels like rain', it really feels like rain' and we were the furthest from home so the pace quickened as a few very heavy drops came down and we were in just before the heavens opened.
Fayolle, I hope you manage to get your OH out.
Off to finish dressing

This is true. Athough if the man cutting the grass at the sports field could not see the big pile of bags, shoes and sweatshirts that belonged to the kids playing football all I can say is that it is a good job he was not lying in the grass.
Checking in to send big supportive hugs to atb x I am beyond worrying about money now, the amount that is going out of our account every month is ridiculous.
Loonng day again at the paid stuff so best get moving. Just going to quickly order a food shop. DH is taking me to work as I have no car at the moment.0
