I just want to hide and cry it all out. Things have just gone wrong for us over the last couple of weeks.

2 weeks ago we got a flat tyre and needed two new tyres as they were illegal. That turned out to be rather a lot. Oh well we thought, we'll work it out.

Then Sat we got and our fridge wasnt working so off we went to get a new one. We were still getting over the two new tyres and really had to spend everything we had on a new fridge.

Now we were just working out money and everything and guess what? Yes something else has gone.

Coming back from my friends I noticed a funny sound in the car. Turns out that one of the breaks has got a problem. We think it just needs a new break shoe, but until we get it into a garage on Tuesday (cant afford it before then) we wont really know. Now this money is going to have to come out of spending money for a weekend away we've had booked for months.

I just want to run to my bed, get under the covers and cry till it goes away. Why does everything have to happen at once? We cant afford for anything else to go wrong. I know there's a lot more worse things to happen and I know that we will sort something out, but its just taken its toll on me.

Please tell me to get over it and stop being soo childish as Im sure you will

You have my sympathies. I went for 2 new tyres and the Kwik-fit people told me the other two needed replacing so I got 4. Turns out there really wasn't much wrong with the back two and I was swizzed by an eager salesman. Meh!

I think you just said it yourself, fartblossom.

If these are the extent of your worries, you have nothing to worry about!

It really does feel like someone is out to get you sometimes, doesn't it? It's so hard when you are having to stick to a tight budget. Do you have a sympathetic relative you could temporarily borrow some spending money from?
