Little win[dfall]

Today is going to be a particularly stressful day for me. I have a lot on and I'm trying to juggle it all with a toddler in tow. Luckily I have a supportive friends and family network.

After a really shitty year I have heard this morning that I'm due to receive some money. Not a life changing amount but enough to get me through a sticky period. I don't want to tell friends as I feel bad that I have had this good fortune (although trust me it has come out of a lot of bad!). So a little win for me today before the madness starts at 10.00 am. Please don't think I'm boasting I just have no one to tell.

Thank you. It's really going to help see us through winter fuel costs. Access a private SALT for my DC and be able to buy us some much needed furniture. I'm very grateful.

I'm very pleased for you! (Though not how it's come about!)

it sounds like a decent 'windfall' & that it will really help! Enjoy the peace of mind!

@EmeraldDC

I'm sure you know where to get good cheap furniture, IKEA are amazing for sofa's etc and chairs and beds.
However,if not already a member of your local Freecycle,it's where I got a large chunk of furniture from . For free! But you would need to drive but sometimes people will drop it off for you.

I am glad you have shared your news here. I get what you mean about not being able tk say in real life . Happy it will help in your time of need and hope there is enough to save some for the next rainy day too.
