Shoo you girls have chatted a lot. I am so tired now so I just scanned through all of it! Sorry!

Angie, first of all, I know exactly how you are feeling. our situation is a bit different but still kind of the same. We have the luxury of staying with my dad who is the most incredible man on earth. He FULLY supports us at the moment. He pays for the groceries, my petrol, my cell phone and then he pays me a small salary every month because I run the household for him (shopping, taking my little brother to school etc.) which I buy nappies etc. with. C pays for his own car/cell/credit card etc. but he makes JUST enough to cover his expenses. I feel so exhausted some days thinking if we'll ever get anywhere. Every month I wonder when it's going to get better and I sometimes just push it to the back of my mind because I can't handle it. I try to stay positive and work on my blog, trying to get advertising etc. but some months I just want to give up. So know that you can vent with us any time you want. I sure do and I know it helps!

Vix, sorry about the meanie! I also got soo many nasty comments and people changing their behaviour towards me when I fell pregnant. I stopped speaking to 90% of my friends because they were so unsupportive. All telling me that I've made a huge mistake and that I can do so much better than C. I mean how ridiculous?

Mandy, The twins try to climb into their own car seats but we still pick them up and do it. We do carry them in the shops (but most of the time they are in a trolley or their pram) and we hardly ever carry them at home. My back is also killing me and last night the little sleep I got was constantly disturbed by a spasm going down from my lower back into my thighs the whole time. It was terrible!

LMAO Lisha

Haha, lol ladies and your tickers. I might be totally wrong as my memory isn't so great but I think you get the ticker then you copy and paste the Pseudo code into your profile signature? I may just be sending you in even bigger circles now but I have to at leat try and help hehehe

Hey Yoza hope your dad is going to do well with the new treatment and surroundings..

Simone - sorry my angel! its a touch situation to be in for you guys! You are doing so well though! Im glad you have your family to understand and support you. IF only we were all as clver as Vix - Vix you are so so lucky to be able to sew! to make things from scratch is pretty impressive! The buttons I sew on seem to come undone!!

Angie - we have borrowed money from my dad ( 6 months ago ) and we are slowly paying it off as well. He had a homeloan facility that he had paid off so he kept it open just to help his kids and he has helped my sister ALOT. My sisters husband has also been without a job for 2.5 years now - he manages to do some tiling or plumbing work - Simone or Miss K - if you ever need someone = pls let me know! He is meticulous ! but he hasnt got enough work to help them through. When he was retrenched, my sister was a stay at home mom but she managed to get a job and has become a director of her company now.. so She can cover their expenses, but not the luxuries.. From my sister I know, that not having a solution in site is the worst and she too carries the load on her shoulders, but she has two kids and is taking so much strain.. Just so you know,she also felt like she couldnt share her stress with her hubby, but they decided to go for councelling - with one of the free facilities for families and its really helped them.. She has helped to boost his confidence while he is so down and feeling so out of control and now that he understands more of what she is going through too, he is helping a lot more around the house and they are sharing the load !

Nicole I was so cross with him before that due to rough night but as soon as he did that dh & I started laughing
