We have no money. Like, REALLY no money. Every month is a struggle to stay afloat - it's the 3rd of the month and we're already in the red. I get paid weekly from my temp job, but it's not enough! We thought we were doing a little better, but we're not. Once again, getting a pup has gone out of the window as soon as we make the decision to get one.
I need to earn LOTS more money, but I can't commute or work long hours in an office with my Fibro. I'm trying deperately to get a full-time (I'm doing 7 hours a day atm) job working outdoors in horticulture, but even that might not be enough money. Being outdoors really helpd my Fibro, which I need. Even though I'm not full-time, I'm still only getting through my days at work on a mixture of caffeine and painkillers. So my IBS is worse than it's been for months. I'm seeing my doc next week to try and get some serious drugs for the Fibro, but I have no idea if that will be enough. ANd I'd prefer not to have to pump myself full of drugs all the time. But I doubt I could ever get disability for my Fibro, so basically we're totally screwed on that front.
Si earns a reasonable amount - not much considering how long he's been in computers, but he likes his current job. Our house is just sucking us dry. The mortagage repayments are £682 (that's $1253 at current exchange rates) a month, plus we're paying Si's parents back £154 a month ($283) for a loan they gave us for our house deposit. Si's salary and what our lodger pays us JUST covers the monthly bills.
I don't know what to do. Si says he won't ask his parents if we can suspend our payments for a while. And I know he's not looking for a new job. So basically it's down to me and I feel like [censored].
Sorry for going on so much. I needed to vent and I don't like telling my parents how we AREN'T coping.
