Yes, I can understand that anxiety. We went into town last weekend and I would say that at least 75% of people were completely oblivious of the 'keep left' signs!Savvy_sewing said:I can't imagine how such people think?
I am nervous about having to go to the Primarni with dgd as she desperately needs new clothes. I have masks at the ready of course. But still I can feel the dread rising.It's not difficult!

We went to Primarni and although the queue looked long it was maybe 10 minutes. But oh!
inside the only distancing was from the tills. We had masks on, very few did, but people were just wondering around. I was expecting one way systems may be?
all three of us were highly stressed and couldn't get our undies etc and get out quick enough. Worst was the whole place didn't have any open loos. I actually expect a speeding ticket coming home as I was hovering around the limit and just over desperate to get back to the loo!
never again!

Jump off your high horse, most people would think paying £800 in debt was a lot she mentioned it! She couldn't afford it without the benefits she receives! By the way the twins aren't yours either!thorsoak said:Some people are far too judgemental - how each and any one of us deals with our finances is down to each and every one of us. How dare you tell Ss to "need to sort your finances and sell the camper if you are not going to use it soon, your debt repayments are eye watering! How you afford them I don't know! " - has Ss asked for advice on her finances? No!
Savvy you seem happier and I wish you well, maybe arrange set times for your son to see the kids and if he doesn't show stop it, he's not a good parent. I wish you well, I've messaged you before but I will not comment anymore X.0 -
Why oh why do people have to be so snappy at others?
Yes I am lucky that I have Benefits and other funding and I am able to use my money to better our lives, so I could have a loan to build my cabin and then meet the payments. I was unlucky that I agreed a loan for DS to do his HGV course but that he has yet to pass the theory before he will be able to continue the course and pay it back, so my budget is covering that. Although not much, DS is now paying me £10 a week which is going on the credit card as extra payments to bring it down a little faster.
I agree that I took my eye off the budget at the beginning of the year and it crept up. But I am ok. Nobody is suffering or going without.
I just want to pay it off as fast as possible.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.5 -
Yes, the lack of available loos is also a big problem and will limit the amount of time that people want to spend in shops etc. It is one of the things that has stopped us going further afield - even if we take our own drinks, we will need to use a public toilet if we are out for long. I'm thankful for my 'radar' key but that's only of use if there is actually a disabled toilet in evidence!It's not difficult!

I no longer have a radar key. I gave it to my Neice when she was pregnant and on crutches with hip displacement issues.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.3
