oh sweet i am sorry for you, i cant make it better and i wish i could. vent away that person sounded very disrespectful and rude. BTW hubbie didn't get that job but maybe your hubbie might get some over time ? i dunno but one can hope. Mind you he can only do so much hey. maybe you need to cut back some where where i dunno from our convo's your cutting it very slim. can u cut back on meat? we eat red meat not that often to save money mind u neither of us are big meat fans but im craving loads of beef recently. Do you have energy efficient globes? when we went through a real tough bit i served backed beans 3 times a week and porridge everyday.
