I have lurked on this board for too long and will have to get my own house in order and start my own diary thread but just wanted to let you know that just reading your thread you have inspired me to get off my backside and make my first post! :T
Aawww, hiya ExNicotineQueen :hello: (fab name by the way:D )
Thank you so much, that is really lovely of youand i'm touched that it's inspired you to post, most of us start out as lurkers;)

afternoon all.
not much to say today.
i feel like everything is on hold at the moment, i am trying to make money every minute of the day.
so my housework has pretty much been left, well i'm still doing it but not to my usual standard.
my and my eldest daughter are going to do a car boot on sunday so hopefully that will help, and i'm looking forward to some one on one time with her.
hubby is worried that i am close to breaking point, because i'm worring about our money and mams and trying to make it all day,
i have even started to sleep on the sofa so i can be on slice the pie until i'm ready to drop.
that turned into a bit of a winge didn't it.
sorry xxtotal -nov07 [strike]£25,526[/strike] jan08 [strike]£23,246[/strike] May08 [STRIKE]£21,171[/STRIKE] June 08 £20,9640 -
Hey CAC, sorry to hear about needing to find the extra cash for your mums account. that's another unwanted pressure....
I think you so deserve this holiday, and should enjoy it as you're obviously under so much pressure. Thekids, your hubby and you have earned this holiday! so shed the guilt, do what you need to do until the holiday comes. Get off on your hols, enjoy yourself, forget about the budget, come back and work at it again in earnest.
(((big hugs)))

Hiya Maz
So that is you!!!!!,
i had seen the name around and thought, mm thats a bit close to our maz, and i was wondering where you were!;)
any reason for the new name, or did you just fancy a change.
i know that your right about the holiday but i can't, the way things are at the minute, i feel that i can't breathe and i woke up everyday and think is this the day that its all going to come crashing down around me.
i feel that everyday i'm just managing to push it over to the next day and so on and so on.
i know i need to go and find my posititve head, i'm sure its somewhere, probably under all the mess on the kitchen table:Dtotal -nov07 [strike]£25,526[/strike] jan08 [strike]£23,246[/strike] May08 [STRIKE]£21,171[/STRIKE] June 08 £20,9640 -
Hi Cheap as chips, well hun what can i say. Just had a quick read of the past few pages, and i really feel for you. I know what you mean about hols and not getting excited, but i reckon you will feel better when you are there, as it will be an escape from everyday stuff.
My head is also usually in the same place as yours..Well i is all chavved out, so will catch up with you later.
Take care. BOB XBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -

HI BOB
Thanks so much for popping in, i really do appriciate it.:D
i hope this means that you are feeling a little better, i hope its not flu, i had that a few months ago, and i have never felt anything like that.
the doctor came in as i couldn't get out of bed and he said, people say they have the flu, but they dont, this is what the flu does, i have never felt so ill.
so i hope its not that.
take care, stay warm and try and get them to spoil you for a change.;)
