@ Lavalem: Now didn't you tell me just the other day that you practically never go out there? You just couldn't help yourself could you?! Lol

@ Hiroko: Is that the same one that always used to attack you, or another one?

I don't think you guys are on by the looks of it, but if you are, please excuse my bad mood. We've been budgeting really hard out and are in big poopey financially. It's just putting a liiitle bit of stress on everything at the moment!

Edit: Right oh, seen as no one's here to keep me company, I shall do a long post then off to bed with me.
So on the weekend, Daniel asked his mum if she'd sit down and help us budget, as we didn't think we were getting anywhere money-wise. It turns out, that not only were we not getting anywhere, but we were in the red each and every pay, and that was IF we were paying all the bills we should have been, which we haven't been.
We don't only not have any money to save or to spend, we are in the red by over $100 a fortnight, meaning we are steadily going downhill quickly, and not paying hardly any of our bills. We cannot actually afford to EAT if we pay everything on our budget that we 'have' to. My mother in Law said that if we keep going the way we're going we'll be bankrupt in 6 months.

Boy can I tell you that scared the crap out of us. We've really pulled finger over the last few days, worked out a budget that MIGHT be viable, depending on how little we can spend on groceries. Basically, we have about $80 a week for food and groceries, which is less than half of what we're used to spending. i'm going to be making my own cleaning products and such, making my own yogurt etc, and having to use every second of spare time to bake low-budget food. Also I've put out fliers advertising an ironing service at $15 a basket, so hopefully there'll be at least SOME response to that so I can start adding to what little money we have incoming.

Feels better to get that off my chest, must be bed time. i need bed - my head is pounding from thinking and over thinking.

Night all.

Why is he not working??

yeah, well i didn't know they were that bad either, as somebody didn't share with me *glares in Danny's general direction*

Sometimes I just wish he was honest with me about the way things are. hell, if I'd known how bad things were I wouldn't have been buying so much stuff on TradeMe and wasting the supplement money we got after Jayden was born. It would have only taken a little bit of honesty but he didn't have the balls to admit it and that's what got us so deep into this mess.

I'm taking Tyler out to Oxford on Saturday. he's staying overnight to give me a break. Can't wait! You won't be out there that long will you? Else I'd have offered you a lift back in.

@ T: Yeah it is the same exact kitty. They said she would grow out of it but never did. She was being all lovey dovey today for awhile, and then she suddenly attacked me. She's lucky she's so cute and I love her.

Sorry you and your husband are having so much trouble money wise. Money problems can be pretty hard to get through but I hope you are able to manage. He really should of been honest with you as well. It would of made things a lot easier.

What an awesome wee cat! Lol that's attitude for you!

I think we'll be ok money wise. We know how bad things are and we're both moving heaven and earth to make it better. It's gunna be hard, and we're not going to have any spare cash for a while, but we'll get there!

Woohoo no one's here again! So I shall post as much as I can in one before I need to take off.
it's a public holiday here today and last year we took Tyler to Willowbank, which is like a wildlife park, except it doesn't have REALLY wild animals, just a lot of native ones and endangered ones etc etc. Anyways, on this particular public holiday entry is free, and seen as we're forever broke, we've kind of made it our tradition - so when the kids are awake and have had lunch, we're going to take them both again. Tyler will be old enough to enjoy it this time, and Jayden will be old enough to scream through it!! lol
Also, I sold the VCR that doesn't work with our TV. I paid $25 for it, and got $50 for it! I love it when things like that happen, so that money will really come in handy for one bill or another! I have to wait to get a VCR that will work for now though, as we just can't justify the extra expense. Which really sucks as we've got about 20 videos waiting to be watched and no way to watch them!
Thats me for now I think, hope someone's on tonight when i venture back!

EDIT: No one's been here since I left YESTERDAY?! my goodness I'm supposed to be the one who doesn't come online much!! Oh well, never mind I'm in a good mood. looksie - my dress!! *dances*

Ya'll come back now, you hear?!

I'm sure you'll figure out what you want soon enough Hiroko. it's hard when you can't item view - you really have to guess. Anyway, I'm happy with my choice, and as for the rest, I've just gone through the shops looking for items that'll go with what I've got going at the moment. I wasn't going for the red theme until I put the dress on, and now I know!
I think getting a dress first off is the best choice, because then you look really clothed, and then you can build the rest of your outfit around it. That's my theory anyways!
So where's everyone been? I've no one to talk to and look at me pathetic gold count!! *points*

I know I will be able to find an outfit, I always do after all. Sometimes it just takes me awhile is all. I thought about getting a dress as well. Of course I thought more about it and decided to go with something else. I will just have to use my imagination and picture how it may look.

yeah that's one thing that bugs me about not being able to view the items aye... Guess work! It's all good though, i guess it's part of the fun, and makes it more rewarding when you get an outfit that looks really cool!

That's good, and maybe he'll improve in time? you never know! On Roli, I have enough gold for my dress, but I was thinking that maybe I should wait until after the valentines day event just in case?

I think Roli's busier than Mene, you've just got to be on at the right times, but then it's the same with mene. And you've got to know where to post. In Roli today I made over 400g because there were people online for once! But I've barely made anything on here since getting my dress because you and Hiroko aren't on much at the moment.
