Hmmm, some things are only moderately pleasant. They require team but they make being team difficult. Phew!! Here is where I gain hope... I'm not much good at managing money and have been completely appauling for much too long and totally ignorant (as in ignoring & making a point of slying away from it) of my financial mess since this time last year. I did make an effort towards trying to find solutions last winter but when they were scuppered I gave up. The past 3 months I've had backup. Backup makes all the difference. I've had help, which is brill, and I've been told off, which I dislike & doesn't help much. Backup is different. Fabrice has encouraged me, helps me to be accountable to him, reminds me, and we've been slogging through the maths & plans together. I keep saying thank you to him & I don't think he believes me. My boyfriend is mad enough to be prepared to be team and put up with my scatty jumps from one thing to the next to untangle my explanations & figure out on what we need to be focusing and where I need to put the bulk of my efforts. I'm regaining courage beyond any I've ever had to sort things out. :) Can I say? I've not met many people who've been prepared to do that & stick to it, persevered & made headway... Jenny S is one who comes to mind without thinking. I knew I missed her ability to take no messing from me. I remember now how much I miss the way she persevered with me. I know what it can be like taking me on: I live with myself & struggle daily :P Hats off to those around me who don't give up... Thank you for firing me up to not give up!!
Cheers for comments & prayers too. They are much needed.
