i am sooo tired this morning, my middle daughter is off school on the first day back, she has in the last few days developed this thing about putting clothes on,and just wont , we have told her off, we have tried taking away certain toys, withholding her pocket money, tried to just leave her time and space to do it herself and nothing works!!!!
if we manage to get anything on her she just screams and screams.
i can not belive thati have had to keep her off school because she wont get dressed.

we also did our first car boot sale yesterday!!! it was so much fun i loved it, it was really nice to do something with hubby,:j

we didn't make a fortune but did well and cleared lots of bulky things so more space and a bit more cash.:T

we are going to try and do 1 everymonth, i was a sales manager before i had my beautiful babes so it was great to use those skills again!;)

right i am off to try and get missy dressed!

ahhh, i have written a long post and it said it was too short three times!!!

its been almost a month since i last updated , its been an up and down month as far as money goes, well pretty much down.

I just don't like myself at the moment, i feel that i am failing everything and everyone

Why ?????

Come on spill every last detail and we will judge if you are unworthy ;o)

I guess that you are being too hard on yourself again, take a big step back and remind yourself about all that you have succeeded in.

i have lost my post again, if it dosen't work this time i will give up!!!

this month has been tough as usual, but it seems to get worse all the time,

we are really feeling the effects of this credit crunch in more ways than one, my hubby is a mortgage advisor and his wage is about £1,100 down per month and things were already tight, and he goes out to see clients so his petrol has gone up from £50 per week to about £70 per week and obviously like everyone else the cost of food has risen,

we just received an email to say our gas and electric is going up from £110 per month to £167 per month,

it just feels never ending

CHEAP_AS_CHIPS_4

thank goodness it worked!

i just feel that we are not getting any further in fact we are going backwards!

i have sold everything i can on ebay, (have got nothing left and sold nearly all my clothes) i am doing slice the pie all the time and doing loads of surveys and i sold my car i just donr know what else to do.

i have also had an interview today for a job, its only 1 day a week every saturday beacuse of hubbys job and my cuties its only on a weekend i can work.

i just dont like myself at the moment, i feel that although i am at home all day with the kids, i always feel gulity when they go to bed that i haven't spent enough time with them or done enough with them, and by the time hubbys comes in, usually at about 9.30 i am too tired to spend quality time with him.

i also tried to quit smoking 2 weeks ago and failed!!! straight away, iam back on track now though and doing okay,

i am also trying to lose about a stone and a half and am failing at that,

i just feel that i can not stick to anything or do anything right, as though its allright just not good enough.

i know i am really lucky and should count my blessings and belive me i do, i have a fab husband, 3 fantastic little monsters and a great family.

You poor thing. It sounds like you're having a really tough time. Just think how much progress you've made tho?! At least you know what your financial situation is, no more burying your head in the sand!
Good luck and chin up!

Hi cheapie!

I can so relate to all of those feelings of guilt about kids, partner, money worries etc.... we all juggle things and it works for a while but sometimes something has to give... and it's usually us.

Check out IA's diary too, as she is literally superwoman but has been feeling the pressure a bit lately too.

Please keep posting and updating, just chilling and sharing with us all here as i firmly believe it helps to know you are not alone.

Love n hugs,

Maz
