piploverI leave for England next Sunday. One week to go! I'm both excited and nervous.
Money is still really, really tight. Even though I called my bank and talked to them about my mortgage, and how I'm having trouble right now, I'm still getting nasty "Pay now or else!" letters.
For the record, I was having trouble before buying the tickets for England. I've been having trouble ever since I purchased the house. Everyone says the first few years are always the hardest, but I think it's just that my job doesn't pay me enough for my positiion and that I have too many expenses. I think when I get back I'm going to have to get a second job again. I've been looking for a new job, but it has to pay me equivilent or more than what I make now, and those are proving harder to find.
I really am looking forward to seeing my sister, but I'm also anxious becuase I just know she's going to be harping on me about finances. I'm trying not to let that dampen my vacation. I want to have fun! There are a lot of things we can do that don't cost money. I guess I'm just frustrated.
So, in that spirit, I'm scrapping all my diginity and posting the link to my GoFund me one more time. I know a lot of people aren't able to give, so if anyone could pass the link around? It's honestly more about having money to pay the bills when I get back than the trip itself now.

Not really a whole lot else to report. I haven't been able to go out and do anything becuase I've been saving literally every dime and penny for this trip. But that's all right. I have cable, and I've been watching a lot of movies.
My computer is a little off, but I'm hoping it just needs to have the dust shaken out of it for it to work properly again. Fingers crossed.
Take care, everyone!

Date: 2015-10-04 11:33 pm (UTC)I get the crisis, financially, though. We're having to deal with mortgage and bank right now - there's some state help for those of us who are struggling (in our case due to my husband's job loss), so we're currently signing up for some help. Hate it. Wish I could donate, but all I can send is virtual hugs and a request for some pics so I can travel vicariously through you? :)
