Same Same, but different.

Well, here I am again.

So, I believed things to be on the up (despite the pandemic/ uncertainty regarding having a baby on the way), unfortunately things were not on the up. 

Good news first:
  • Baby Lonelyrat arrived in June 2020 perfectly healthy and is now a boisterous, almost, toddler. 
  • OH is still employed by a decent company and looking at a potential Christmas bonus. 
No so good news: 
  • Finances in the toilet. SSP at the start of the pandemic, followed by SMP, followed by not returning to work (low paying job meant childcare and travel actually cancelled out my salary) has really hit us hard. 
  • No income, other than OH's meant my debts became unpayable. 
  • So, I have started a DRO. Which is mildly terrifying and seems incredibly official. 
Oh, crying baby. Will be back. 
Total Debt : ?? / ??
