If money is tight could you move in with your mum for a while until you get on your feet?

Hi tammybear, don't think we've chatted before. Sorry to see you're feeling low. BTW how old is your dd?

can you sort something out so that you can take that bank job? I think working might help you feel better long term and less lonely.

Avalon · 25/09/2004 00:18

Beansmum - you mean you don't touch type?

i wudnt trust working for them after what happened. spent 3 months hanging on for it, and then they go and change it have been applying for other jobs though, and have had a couple of interviews so fingers crossed

I would suspect the pills Tammy - see how you're feeling in half an hour. Would phone the doc tomorrow either way - or even tonight if you're really bad. Or your mum.
Could she come and stay with you for a few nights now and again or could you and dd share a room at your mum's even just for the odd night?

beansmum · 25/09/2004 00:20

could someone maybe look after dd once a week so you can have a night to do stuff with friends or just have time to yourself.

Avalon · 25/09/2004 00:20

21 months - that's a hard work age from what I remember. Do you manage to get any time to yourself during the day or does your mum have her sometimes?

joanneg · 25/09/2004 00:20

good - I think that it will really help. i think that it is so hard and lonely at home with a baby all day and night - and if you are on your own no wonder you are struggling.

In that case write the snotiest letter possible - if you're SURE you don't want to work for them. Stinking rats. (That should make you feel better).
Best of luck with the job hunting! A job's probably just what you need. What about getting down to the local gym too - most of them run a creche at specific times.

joanneg · 25/09/2004 00:23

night night beansmum (ps you are not slow at typing!)

Avalon · 25/09/2004 00:23

so things are looking up - with college and your mum helping out? It sounds like things will get better. Debt is an awful burden - once you see the debt counsellor you will feel better
