smileyforest the reason you have no/few answers, is cos we are all knackered !

Can only get easier I suppose, even though we will never be able to afford to retire...

Here too. Although I work p/t am 39 and my kids are 6 and 4 (pre-schooler, shudder).

My moods aren't great these days TBH and I'm struggling a bit. Just clinging on until DD starts school then maybe life will settle down a bit. The hormones are sending me a bit loopy though.

40, mortgage repayments of £900 (soon to be lowered yay!), work full time with 12.5hr shifts (2 nights a week and 1 long day), 3 year old DS with no contact with Ex (his choice not mine as I could do with the break), work extra shifts as skint.

I am shattered all the time and no longer can remember what it is like to have energy!

My job sucks as it is A and E with a constant stream of negative press and target grinding rather than patient care.

My mum does my childcare while I work so don't feel I can ask her any other time so I am either at work or with my child. No chance of ever meeting anyone else but I don't have the energy anyway. I want a day with no noise, no demands, no stress and gin Wink

Another 23.8 years left on the mortgage fecking depressing.

I watched a bit of Jeremy Kyle on Tuesday just to cheer myself up!
