I can't catch a break

I just needed to vent. This year I haven't managed to catch a break.

Getting married next month. Mostly all sorted, but there's been an issue with the bridesmaids dresses and now I'm on a last minute scramble to get it fixed.

Having to pay storage fees because our shed was damaged, and we havent room in the house for the stuff. Ordered a new shed in May. Shed arrived in September, after many weeks delay, but so many bits broken had to return it, new shed ordered but won't arrive until end of this month. So 2 extra months storage fees to pay.

Electric meter not working properly and my electric company despite many phone calls haven't come to fix it. No idea how much I'm using and no way of finding out. Being priced on an estimate so expecting a huge bill when they finally come to sort it out.

And now as I'm paid 4 weekly I'm not eligible for the 2nd COL payment as the assessment dates fell directly on my 1 nil payment a year. Now I'm not relying on that money but God does it feel like a proper kick in the teeth.

Just feel like I can't catch a break this year. Can't work more as I'm a carer, 11 Yr old costing me a fortune as started secondary school. My mental health is sliding fast due to everything that's happened.

Don't know what I want to get out of this but needed to put it somewhere before I break down and cry.

It's tough for lots of us.

Count your blessings.
