Re: not coping

It has been some rough days for you hon @outlander I hope that changes soon for you.

I'm sure it is hard to go to work. Sometimes we have to decide between our MH and money. It really isn't fair.

I'm ok. Feel like I am just going through the motions. Watching the netball world cup final atm. Was on at 2am this morning but wasn't getting up then to watch it!!! Not much planned for today. Have a pile of ironing that keeps getting larger so might try and tackle that today.

Re: not coping

i need to save up and still pay bills so im going to have to work any extra shifts i can take as well i think at this point. going to be super hard but it means ill get 2 weeks off before xmas

im hearing you, i feel much the same. i guess just going through the motions isnt always a bad thing if we can sort of manage it.

omg i was up at 2am lol but if i was sleeping i wouldnnt be getting up at that time to watch sports! at least they do reruns and stuff through the day.

omg i couldnt imagine ironing on top of washing drying and folding! esp with kids (even if they are older) it must feel like a never ending job
maybe you can iron while watching the netball cup

Re: not coping

It's hard trying to pay the bills off @outlander You take on extra shifts, but other things suffer in the process. I hope you can find a balance. Two weeks off before xmas will be nice for you.

I keep thinking if I don't think about the ironing it will disappear but not happening!! Have just set up the ironing board in front of the tv.

Hey @outlander

Gosh it's a lot that you're going through right now. I hate that the scans are so expensive. It's awful when we have to struggle to pay for necessary testing. I do hope you get on top of all of this real soon.

Re: not coping

well if you get the ironing done thats a big feat @Snowie
ive just booked a nice place to stay. more $ but i guess itll be worth it. i wanted a beachside place but its to hard to try and get into during holiday seasons or approaching holiday season esp when your not just after a powered site for like caravans. heaps of those but no cabin type places

Re: not coping

thanks @hanami its actually an inpatient treatment. i get scans done for free in my local area but i have to travel and get the inpatient treatment done in another state which is whats costing the most
