Sorry to hear about the ticket, hope there aren't many more to come.
There's always something, but as you move in the right directions the bumps feel smaller. You have a buffer and you're on here, so you're on the way.
Hope the new year brings you fabulous things

Rosa thank you
He knows well enough to go and leave me alone
Took him an hour to come and ask me if I wanted a drink
He made dinner this evening and bought me a cheese cake
He is sorry but hasn't said so.
Right from later today I am hoping to have the last of the cash from the bank and finishing this months budgeting will need to take and of his parking fines after £80 out of the emergency fund which was at 135 so need to claw that back as well as keep saving up the emergency fund
I know we will be fine because I have the reins held tightly
It just I woke so hard at this that his stupidity really makes me angry if I had not told him then it would have been my fault he is banned from parking in the hospital grounds from now on he is fine with that
Told me he wouldn't have his allowance this month so that is thirty pounds
So today is a day of calm and peace hopefully I will get some sleep laterEmergency fund £10,000

Happy New Year! Hope it's a good one"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

Happy new year. This is the year that you move to Wales, (where the hospitals don't charge for parking). I'll have the kettle on ready, M2m.Frugal Living Challenge 2025.0

How do you multi quote on here
Thank you both and happy new year to all
I promise today after its brilliant start I will visit you all
Yesterday was a dark day
I am sure the universe has plans
I am also sure those we meet along the way can help us in ways they don't know
I feel I need to thank Rosa for being here
Visiting my brother who lives in nana Rosa's house then today I found a little gold brooch given to me on my 21st that was my great grandmother, for years I kept this safe then thought I should wear it
And then after a few months I thought I lost it and thought I looked everywhere today I found it
Rosa turned up here on the day I had been to my brothers first time I have seen him since February 16th 2002 but that's another essay
Then a time of new starts and I found the brooch (very emotional two hours of tears) have new friends and one of them will be close enough for a cuppa now and then and of course it's the year of big moves
You are ALL of you :A in your own way xxx

Hi, yes we are on the way down to Carmarthen, I looked at your new place on Rightmove (is that classed as stalking? ha ha), it looks very nice, M2m.Frugal Living Challenge 2025.0

Thank you
As for stalking well it might be but for all the right reasons
How buy is that road they say it's busy but it doesn't seem as busy as our present side street that is a bus route (every half an hour) and a primary school on it
I do hope it's not too bad as I am not going through this stress and anxiety again everEmergency fund £10,000

I don't think it's busy at all. A car every minute or two in rush hour, less at other times. After where we lived previously it's very quiet. The only downside is the lack of pavements, not fun when walking along it. Might have pavements by you though. M2m.Frugal Living Challenge 2025.0

Rosa was my nans name
A huge welcome
I don't suppose you can use the f word on here
But imagine where you might use expletives
I get the mail and see a brown envelop so panic sets in
I open it and my bipolar snaps
What the f. This has to be you using MY f. Car to visit your Blo... Mother
A parking ticket for visiting his mother in hospital. Who is a nasty spiteful old cow and she has no visitors due to her nasty spiteful ways with even her friends
Now they changed the system from free parking to free parking if you enter your number plate on the monitors inside every entrance I DID tell him
Now this is what he said
If WE pay now it will only be 40 not the 85
But of course we will get one for every visit
And what is this f. We all about
He has not yet sorry just I will go and pay on line
I have done the budget for this month and left 100 buffer in the joint account and only 50 in mine
So where he thinks all this is going to come from befor next month I do not know
So no sorry and I didn't know
I told him not to use the f. Shogun either as that is in my name
And that it will be cheaper for him to walk 40mins each way and by new shoes
My bipolar is so out of control that all my neighbours will know
So I am back in bed trying to find my sanity my littlest dog has come for cuddles and licked some tears away
Rant over
So today is a dog cuddling angry sort of day
And it looks like I am going to have to regig a whole years spread sheet as I will have to claw it all back
Anyone want to take bets on who will want to get the mail from now on
So lunch then back to bed to do budget (I keep everything up here in the bedroom
Dinner tonight is gammon egg mushrooms and chips not healthy but I don't want the salad to go with it
Hope you have all had a better start to the day than I have
At least it's this year not next
Next year will be BRILLIANT
I am sorry if this offends, but she is his mother and your reaction does seem a bit extreme, both to the issue and to your OH.
I appreciate that you may have medical problems but I am sure he is not doing things simply to annoy you. Do you have help for your Bi Polar? How would you feel if he couldn't cope with it anymore?
As I said, I really don't wish to offend but if a man wrote in the same way about his partner I doubt he would garner thanks. Quite the reverse, so I couldn't read and not comment.0
