When it gets to the point that you have to go begging to your parents so you can afford to buy your child a pack of nappies i dont think it can get any worse.

I'm permanantly in tears because i cant pay my debts, im going stir crazy not working, i've had to take my son out of nursery because i cant afford it anymore, his birthday is coming up and i'm getting stressed and worried because i'm not going to be able to afford to buy him anything.

If I dont get a job soon its only going to get worse and worse and I just cant see a way out of it. Theres no help or support and the job centre are useless!!

I think I remember you saying you worked in a pub, it's a terrible time for pubs isn't it? What happened? Did it close?

I really feel for you and hope you get something soon......if you're still after pub work try the new wine bar that's opening soon in Ossy.

We're hard up at the minute too as my husband is off work sick following an operation. He will have been off for 12 weeks and money is tighter now than it was before.

We buy more own brand products than we used to, hardly ever go out and will be staying in a friend's caravan for a week in July........it's that or nothing.

Try and keep your chin up though, things will improve....that's what I tell myself.
