Well after a couple of weeks my window was finally fixed.. thanks to a cheap part off ebay!! what a carry on we had, hubbys friend who tried to put it on made it worse and uncoiled all the wire that made the window go up and down.. so after alot of toing and froing its now fixed.. Gary did it in the end!!!
Caitlin got the chance to go to Butlins with her friend and her parents.. how could we say No.. after all none of this was her doing.. so little bit of fallback Christmas money went there (luckily nanna and granda paid for most of it as part of her pressie.. not that you’ll know that at Christmas!!)
When you haven’t got Mr Plastic to fall back on sometimes the future can seem daunting re presents etc.. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t change it for the world but scary all the same.. Hubbys son Josh ‘just’ wants money towards a laptop, he only sees him a few times a year.. what do you do?? Garys said to him most he can do is £100.. so no pressure there then!! Anyway I’m sure we’ll manage.. freezer is relatively full so hopefully can save there, and we’ve never been a family to fill the cupboards to bursting over christmas.. I’ve always looked at amazement to where people put these 3 trolleys of food and booze.. they’re either really greedy, wasteful or popular!!
For hubby being the one diagnosed with depression I must say he takes this IVA all in his stride (maybe as he’s not internet bank monitor!!), he always seems to have the outlook of we’ll manage and I must say to now he’s been spot on!!
I thought the forum was bringing me down so I never posted or even looked for a while but then I realised it wasn’t, I was bringing myself down, worrying for no reason whatsoever!! So here I am back with a more positive outlook.. I mean whats the worst that can happen… well!!!
And Julie if you’re reading this thank you for the text on Saturday.. you really don’t know how much that meant to me.. even though we haven’t met you are a special friend….
