why does he only give you 5 dollars? do you have a problem if you have more money? If he went out couldnt he get the garbage bags and soap? MICE really suck.

Luck.

I just stick any bag I get from a shop in a cupboard... I resent being an adult and using money that totally should be spent on fun things on bleach, toilet paper (really my money to pay for something that well I'll shit on and throw away!) and washing up liquid and the like!

Ahh keyboards... I lost the use of the top left hand corner of my for a week... made responding to emails endlessly fun!

Donna- 5 dollars is all WE have to spend. He left it to me before he went to work.

Well...I cleaned up the kitchen to the best of my ability. Still lots of dishes in the sink that needed to soak. Could really use some brillo pads right about now.


James- I don't quite get your humor? Sounds like you are attempting to mock me for being in a financial crisis. hillarious.

pm'd you

Oh no- really really not at all...

I'm so so sorry that it came across that way! Sorry!

I was trying to be light and totally failed. So sorry!

I do wish you luck with dealing with it all.

And sorry again, I really didn't mean it to sound like that at all. I do know what it's like to have no money, I have worked with homeless people with refugees and with kids in the third world, I really do know what it's like to have nothing and it is not funny in the slightest, I would never deliberately mock you or your situation.

You have my sympathies and I hope that things can improve.

Sometimes I guess my way of speaking doesn't come across well on the computer. I am really sorry if I caused you any offended.

It's OK James. It's impossible to hear someone's tone of voice on the computer and know exactly what they mean. I took your post personally when it wasn't meant that way.

No problems - like I said to you in the mesage, I was just meaning that being an adult really really sucks.

I would never ever meant to belittle your situation and you have my sympathies and support. Many hugs for you! And am wishing your husband so much luck today!

ps the thing about bags, was only said because I use them for rubbish.... rather than buy them... I also, and this probably makes me a bad person, but I take toilet roll from bars and big chain restaurants.... I'm not rich at all, in fact, unemployed, totally broke and having to live at home basically in my room all the time because I have no money to get out and can't really in a great way, especially when depressed get on well with my parents, so it's a 7ft by under 4 room for me but it is this or the streets, I don't have anyone else that I can ask. I do sympathise massively.

I taken stuff from bins before too! That's how great my life has been!

But, I figure that's actually fine and makes sense, it's all wrapped up and clean just maybe runs out of display by date so fine to eat, I hate the waste in the world.
