Anyone want to join me!

I have just opened a bottle of wine (lidls 2.59) which i top up with lemonade :o
My excuse is
I am feeling so low today not just because i am hiding underneath a cloud of debt 30k ( do not want to post an SOA as apart from gas/electric(i am waiting for the green light from martin) i have cut it to the bone!!
I am really miffed that i come home from my bloomin Lidl shop (having had shoppin chucked at me!!) to find that DS1(14) and DS2(8) had decide to dig up my back garden not just dig but strip the shed of wood,paint cans and a wrought iron bed:eek: i live in quite a posh area so god knows what the neighbours think:eek:
I feel realy cross because i have to sort it, tomorrow i have to go to re negotiate the mortgage,my OH is a lovely bloke but can't deal with anything (he is like the old BT advert "hello it's me")so i feel that everything is down to me and i wish it wasn't:mad:
Anyway i feel better for writing this all down.
Cheers:beer:

    Oh go on I'll join you in a glass. It's a bit early but who cares. Have been on this site nearly all day trying to think up ways of making more money. I'm exhausted from doing nothing....

    Hi Mom23,hugs sent your way:grouphug: and a big bar of chocolate to go with the wine:icotbaske .
    Take a deep breath,maybe your sons were trying to help clear out the shed lol.
    Know what you mean about men and finances/mortgage,I renegotiated our mortgage to a better one,did it all myself,all the running around,hubby just signed the papers asking why I was bothering,had it for 3 months now and up to now we have saved nearly 100 pounds on interest payments.
    Now he knows why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!:beer:
    Good luck tomorrow.

    It's ok hun, I remembered I'd seen it a few days ago when I was having a good look around the site. Don't forget to look round the cashback sites.

    wish i drank, i've been putting off updating my accounts since yesterday. Don't know why, guess i'm feeling very guilty for spending money. Guess i'll have to stick to the water, as it's good for my sore throat.
    Keep in there, at least you have the skills to try and help your family.
