Sadie P

This month and next feels like a series of expensive issues. The car has got punctures in two new (part-worn) tyres so I had to pay for a repair and another replacement.

The dog requires some treatment at the vets which I will have to use my credit card for.

The bills have all increased.

There are things that need replacing / repairing in the house which I think "I'll pay for that next month" but then something else happens and the money is required for that.

It feels like constantly treading water whilst hoping for someone to throw a life ring at me.

Grateful for the better weather this last week so at least I don't have to put my heating on and listen to the boiler creaking and groaning (one of the many things that needs replacing).

😐
