DP and I have been out of work for a long time, he lost his job when DD was 5 months (she's 21 months now) and I haven't worked since before Xmas last year. DP has applied for every job advertised and is listed with about 20 agencies but there's just no work. We have a 3 month old DS and have been broke since before I got pregnant with him.

We owe the landlord 1800 euros and he's been ringing again and the most I can pay him is 500 now and 500 in a couple of weeks. I can't stand having to dodge him like this but I just don't have any money for him.

But the absolute last straw is that I've just had to choose between buying nappies for DS or a DD having a Santa present and had to choose the nappies and I'm so bloody angry that anyone should have to make that choice.

I feel like I'm drowning. I want better than this for my babies

I'm in the same boat as you hun. It is crappity crap and worse.

thank you all for you support last night and letting me get it all out.

your offers are very kind but tbh, she's so little she doesn't need anything really. it's more that i want to spoil her rotten iykwim?

it helped just to be able to rant about it for a while though
