No Money

Well, what a boring week so far, I've had no money to buy petrol, fags or food, so I've been running the freezer right down. I haven't been able to go for a walk even, as the road outside our house is deadly, so I have to drive into town just for a simple walk.
Hubby gets paid next week, so going to have to work a budget and stick to it, plus pay bills. It always seems as though we live hand to mouth every month, what with lower wages, no jobs, debt up to our eye balls, in the year 2011, you would think things would get easier but they don't, if anything, things get much harder.
I have a 17 yr old daughter, and i''m concerned about her going into the big wide world, i suppose i'm lucky that she still has another 2 yrs at school, then hopefully college, as there isn't anything out there for her. My 20 yr old son has a job but he's had to take a pay cut, he's struggling to survive out there.
This is what Ireland has become, all the youngster's seem to leaving here. Let's see what the election on Friday brings, if anything at all, will they reverse all the cuts there has been or will it be worse.
Hopefully I'll have some money next week and I'll be able to get out for that walk, which is much needed.

Ex-Husbands

Don't you just hate ex-husbands!!!!! I've been divorced from mine for 15 Years, and he still gives me grief.
We have two grown up children together, 20 yr old and 17 yr old. It took me 4 years to get maintaince off him, and it has and it has stayed the same amount for 6 years. I still have to fight him every month to send it.
He's since married and had another two children, he can't afford to pay for the one child we have together.
He practically calls me liar, by saying that she isn't going to school, I'm at  the end of my tether with him.
Is it worth all this fighting?? I have always tried to include him in their live's, but he's really not interested!!
