My CM has found a lump in her breast which obviously she's worried sick about and has booked herself an appointment at a private hospital for Tuesday, she's told me this, not asked if it's ok iyswim. Now I know i'd be worried to death about finding a lump but I really cannot take this time off and DH would be unpaid which we can't afford. I don't want to sound like a heartless cow but she had Friday off at short notice for an uncles funeral and now this, would it be completely awful to ask her to rebook for Wednesday ?

Why oh why the troll hunt.
If you do not think she is being truthful, then walk away. Cannot believe the nastiness on this thread. Really uncalled for

I'm not a troll at all and yes my ex decided if i wouldn't abort my DD then our marriage was over and as a result i had to leave my friends, job and home in Australia and come home and start again (hence I get maintane in $$$).
Luckily when DD1 was 3 months old I met DH and on September 2001 we decided to make DD2 as we were so upset and hit the jackpot first time hence the 22 month gap.

There life story.

batters is an expert troll spotter - in fact not just troll spotting but identifying the b*ers

Sorry to hear that Jessica but money worries aren't exclusve to those on income support or low incomes the higher you climb the more balls you have to keep in the air and the further you fall if it all goes wrong.

"22mths between each of your dds, that's quite close age gaps, considering they have different fathers, isn't it?"

I hope to fuck this AngelaChill bird turns out to be a troll because that is one of the most shocking statements I have ever read on MN

Happy mum of 2 that is an appallingly judgemental thing to say

i would be happy for my DH to earn £750 a day for 3 days a month - would help us no end

AngelaChill · 06/09/2006 18:12

Jessica - you are amking the massive assumption that DH gets £750 every working day of the year.

not quite sure how you work that out.

2 kids and 2 adults to feed clothe keep clean and entertain on £80 a week is no where near your disposable income - no matter what the outgoings - you are bringing in roughly £15,500 a month just on dp's wages and maintenance - we get not much more for a whole year!

AngelaChill · 06/09/2006 18:08

Happy that is none of anyone business and not up for discussion thank you very much.
Jessica - what I have to live on and what you live on is for both of us to manage you do the best with what you've got and i'll do the same, you have no idea what my outgoings are and I don't know yours, you might be better off than me !

so she has a dp who earns £750 a day
an ex who pays £500 a month
a job that pays a childminder and no more

and she says she couldnt afford to take a day off work - WTF is this woman on.

Maybe she should try living on the £80 a week I live on and THEN get her priorities straight
