Thats is basically i am fed up and fed up of being fed up today.

Been to asda, what a bloody nightmare, dd2 ran off at least 5 times and it took ages to find her. Ds kept eating the contents of the trolly, in packets or not and then dd2 screamed all the way round.
Wanted to get ds his new coat and they had loads, all age 3-4 .

and to top it off after i'd spent all day working out a strict budget we spent twice that.

Haven't a clue how we are going to get through this month, our incomings are alot less than outgoings and i've still got all 3 kids birthday pressies and xmas presies to buy.

I just hate struggling so much every bloody month.

Anyway rent over, feel free to get back to the t.v

Poor nutty. What a shit day! Here have a glass of wine and a chocolate truffle with me. Cadders make ot feel better. As for the money. No answers I'm afraid. I just keep praying that we have enough to keep going every month.

Sorry to hear you are fed up today.
Shopping is a nightmare with kids isn't it, they can really stress you out.
I don't know the answer to money problems really, because whatever you have coming in, it always seems to go out.

Hope tomorrow is better for you.

It's crap isn't it? We can never stick to our budget. Since I gave up work to become a SAHM money's tight and everythings so expensive. We end up topping up with credit cards but now we're in a bit of debt. Not looking forward to Christmas this year. Have cut up the cards so everyone's only getting what we can afford, which won't be much

Yeah Lav i applied for xmas jobs at ELC and Woolies but got turned down

Shall we just get drunk together then, Nutty?

We don't have any credit cards as our credit rating is crap. I have a loan though which doesn't help really.

Have tried increasing my overdraft but they said no, so am a bit stuck.

Dd1's birthday is on the 11th, thankfully i have her main pressie ( a bike), but i have to get dd2's now which is 12/12, so i just can't see how i can do it.

Sorry you're having such a crappy time, nutty.

Am passing you some M&S Ridiculously Chocolatey Bites (or whatever they're called) and suggest you go and read Tessiebear's poo thread because it made me cry with laughter.

nutcracker · 28/10/2004 21:32

Yeah good idea Tanzie

I never had any until a couple of years ago and wish I hadn't bothered. We could never get them because of a bad rating, but suddenly one company took a chance and another three followed I don't owe that much but they have increased my limit so much we could be in serious trouble if we used it. That's why I cut them up. I wish I'd never got them in the first place.

How old is DD2, Nutty?

nutcracker · 28/10/2004 21:52

She is nearly 5 Tanzie.

Shopping trips with my two used to be fine until ds1 took to getting ds2 (age1) in a head lock and then pummelling him with his fists . It usually happens in the bread section.
