Oh emz & Kandice you guys are having a tough time of it! Thinking of you both

Reading through all these posts, makes you realise how some people are really put through the ringer when pregnant!

This year I would honestly say has been the hardest and most stressful we've ever had. Loads of reasons that I wont go into as its long, complicated and really boring. But we came close to loosing our house, business, car, the lot. Then found out we were preggers with no1. and it was awesome but we both thought sh@! how will we afford this.

Anyway what we did to turn around things is we sat down a made a list of what we would like to see happen for the rest of the year. I'm being realistic too, not winning jackpot dreams :) although you never know!

Then we decided that we wouldn't dwell on any of the bad stuff anymore, we would do what we needed to, to deal with it but we would just focus our attention on good things and turning around the situation we found ourselves in.

That was about three months ago. It works! we're still not in the greatest position financially but every day things are getting better and the future is actually looking really promising. Every day I say thank you for what I have and I remind myself of what we both decided we wanted the rest of the year to look like and day by day we work towards it. We've also started asking for help from people. We were always helping other people in the past and quite stubborn about letting people help us. I must say people can be incredibly generous and kind!

I know its hard to be positive when things are down but for me it worked wonders.

I hope things get easier for everyone on here! being pregnant is hard enough on it's own!

disco

Okay, I thought I was having a bad week but I feel rather humbled by your posts ladies. Am really sorry to hear about the rough time some of you are having and I really hope things get brighter for you soon (am sure they will!).

Sending you big fat cyber hugs!

oh man massive to you both...

Kandice- let me know if there is anything I can help you with!!!

Awww you had a sucky time. We had bad luck at the beginning of the year, well actually its still happening and its hard but you know what just focusing on this baby growing inside me has gotten through.

The car you should be able to get by until you have the money to by unlocking on the passenger side for the time being surely? Thats just my practical side working. Mum and dads car for some reason has this problem everynow and again where the drivers side door doesn't open cos the lock breaks down cos there is water damage etc. My poor mum has had to climb in the passenger side and climb over to the drivers seat. Shes not exactly a spring chicken at 63 either lol

Hi everyone.

No we dont have car insurance. The car didnt get broken into or vandelized so we must have some luck.

It cost us $15 for a new key, and $15 to replace a tiny corner window we had to break to get back into the car. We couldnt afford to pay $190 to have someone come cut us a key then and there.

I was late to work, and Kylah hates her daycare now. Thats the only thing worrying me now.

She is supposed to be transitioning to the toddlers room but she stands at the door and screams and i dont know what to do.

My tooth doesnt hurt yet, its just broken so that can wait. Apart from that, today has gone smoothly. Thank god! I even got a power bill and only had $65.49 left to pay on it, i pay $60 weekly and have done since the day we moved in so we are always in advance, or by the time the bill gets here we only owe $50 or so dollars that usually is due to come out that day or week.

So in all.. its looking up, but apparently bad luck comes in threes and mines only been two days!

Thanks to everyone that had replied, hopefully everyones luck has picked up.
I bought a Big Wednesday ticket today with the coinage in our coin jar, so fingers crossed aye!
