really they must.
I kicked Dh out just a week before xmas after only just moving back in with him ( and 70 miles away). I found out he had been up to his old tricks. It has been a horrible,horrible month. I have only got 3 months before i have to leave this house ( forces) and i need to find new job back home, new house and new childcare. I found out yesterday that a charity have agreed to pay my deposit, first months rent and admin fees. That made my day and made me cry. Without that help there is no way i would manage it. Also out of the blue today i have got a letter from a solicitor and have surprisingly been left 3k in a relatives will. I will be able to buy a car ( my currecnt car is soooo old and is costing me so much money.... but i would never have the money to replace it.) And my sister has just text me and said he friend ( who is a manager of a well known bed company - will help me out and give me a big discount and throw in a new mattress.
I could actaully cry. I cant believe how things are turning around... now all i need is to get a job... interviews are in two weeks and i have everything crossed.

Enjoy and good luck with the interview - let us all know how you get on.

That is really fab news.

I cant belive it - i really cant. I just need to get the job now. Finding a house will be easy - there are loads in the area. Ive already organised childcare.
In 3 months i will be sorted - ill have a fresh new start.
Honestly without the help from the charity it would all be impossible. I will have to repay them in kind as much as i can when i move back.
The money is a huge surprise. I cant belive it, and doubt i will until it is in my account. It couldnt have come at a better time. My car is really really old. It is falling apart and cost £600 to get through the last MOT, which is more than the car was worth really. I had to borrow money from my mum to pay for it and im paying her back monthly. Money is going to be tight, so i wouild have never been able to save to buy a newer one.

And the new bed is just the iciing on the cake. I was going to try and get one before i moved. Im not sleeping on my old one at the momment, It actually makes me feel sick. I am going to leave it - and all my painful memories in this house when i leave, and not look back.

I just cant believe it.

shop, I remember you

things are going your way but it is no more than you deserve

have faith, and you will be fine

sorry, that sounded a bit churchy but you know what I mean, have faith in your strength to get you through (and continue to accept favours, good karma etc)

VinegarTits · 28/01/2009 15:02

Hey shiptilidrop i have been wondering how you are doing? So glad things are looking up for you

shoptilidrop · 28/01/2009 15:39

Thanks any and vinegar.

Any - i knew what you mean. Im feeling really really positive today. ( not surprising though) i will be ok and i cant wait to start my new life. Fresh start will be just what i need.

Vinegar - im fine, have had a few low days, but thats to be expected i supose. I just trying to look to the future now. I cant change what has happened, and now am not sure i would want to. I have realised that this didnt happene becuase of me or anything i have done. But beacuse the prat is a lying idiot who will never ever change. I actually feel sorry for the next woman that comes along, because he will do the exact same thing to her......
DD will be fine, again i cant change who her dad is, but i can make sure she is happy, loved by me and well looked after.
But today i am happy - very happy. Its all coming together. will not tell the prat about the money. will wait, and when he comes to pick dd up in my new house, a few months from now, i shall laugh when his jaw hits the floor when he sees the car. That will be the biggest pay back i could get. Me and dd settled, happy in our new house, and managing fine without him.
