I’ve been catching up on sleep and hunting down a 70s evening dress for a shortie. Vinted has come up trumps. Just shoes and accessories to sort now.
£52 pending from Vinted to go to Nationwide CC over the next few days. I haven’t uploaded anything new for a while. I needed to tidy up everything I have packed.
Horribly busy work week. I’m all over the place. Made it home for 30 mins for a home brewed coffee between meetings today. Cost of a Costa latte saved.
i can’t believe it’s only Tuesday. I need a weekend slothing!MBNA 430/14000

No movement on debt repayments other than standard DDs. Struggling to motivate myself to do anything. My Dad is in hospital. His bladder is destroyed and he is now using a catheter for ever. I’m currently arranging for family members to fly over in shifts to take care of him.
It’s overwhelming. He refuses to move back to the UK. I think my only option is to take early retirement in November and move out to care for him. I’ve no idea how I will cope financially if that has to happen.MBNA 430/14000

My cousin is visiting him at the moment so she is keeping me up to date. I’ve just come off a video call with him. He’s stoic about it all. Doesn’t stop me from worrying though.liselle said:So sorry to hear that, Nintud. Are you able to visit him to maybe get a clearer picture? Thinking of youMBNA 430/14000

A lot of people are not going to like what I am about to say but please do not destroy your financial future for him. You already have debts, how many more can you accumulate.5

What does your dad think should happen? Assuming he's clear enough of mind to decide. Sadly he will need to fund it himself if there's no social care where he's living x2

I wouldn’t think about November yet, personally.0

So sorry to hear this @Nintud, be gentle with yourself and I understand the worry and stress about what the future may hold. Sometimes only time will tell, frustrating as that may be.
