Hi everyone,
I am so sorry have not been on much lately,my laptop has died
I have had to borrow one and its just not the same,I have had someone to look at mine but he isn't sure whats wrong with it,I have one last ditch attempt at one more person to look at it.I really pray that it can be fixed,I love it so much and I can't live without it.Also things haven't been great lately,my hubby has a really well paid job and he may lose that in october,they have cut his hours right down and we are really struggling.Where he works they are waiting for the council to decide whether they can carry on with the job in hand so it all decides on that and they won't know until october 15th.Things have been so tough lately,literally we pay the bills and all our cash is nearly gone.We have car tax to get this week and I just don't know how we can carry on like this.We can't get any benefits as tax credits here go on what you earned last year so no help there and they will pay £10 a week towards our rent.
We just have to try and get through this somehow and hope for a good outcome in october and hopefully we will be able to have an ok christmas.Things like this always seem to happen near christmas.
Anyway sorry I just had to rant
My baby bunnies are 4 weeks old now so I am starting to look for homes for them so I have them secured for when they are 8 weeks old,I will put some new pics on my thread of them,they're just so cute but eating so much food

I hope everyone is well,I miss it here and I just hope my laptop can get fixed .x

Sorry to hear you're going through such a rough time, and not having your laptop just adds to it. that your DH gets good news in October, and that your laptop can be fixed!

Thankyou,it always seems to happen to us in the winter for some reason and always when a lot of things need paying
If my laptop can't be fixed I will have to sell it spares/repairs and buy a cheap one.I saved up for a long time to buy that laptop,it just won't power on anymore,everything has been checked and no faults have been found so goodness knows what it is.I really that they sould be able to carry on with the job a dh's work as they have been on this current job for 5 years so really it should be straightforward to give them an extension but it doesn't seem like it at the minute.He's had a meeting at work today and they basically said if they don't get the extension they will all be out of a job.x

I know how you feel
I don't have luck when it comes to computers. This laptop I've had for 4 months, it's already dying.


I hope you are able to find good homes for the baby bunnies

I'm sorry you are going through a tough time right now. You're right, it seems like things always happen close to the holidays. But, then again, there is never a good time! I'm praying things work out with your DH's job. And with your computer! If you can't get it fixed right now, maybe you can pick up a used one fairly cheap? Many
and . Keep us updated when you can, and give your buns some carrots for me!

Aw Ruthy...
I'm so sorry it all seems to pile on at once, doesn't it? And always the wrong time. Not that there's ever a good time for bad news, but you know what I mean!
Sending many vibes you get some good news, and make it through this stressful patch to have a wonderful Christmas!

Thanks everyone,I think our family has a winter curse
I've been out today to see my nan and so that was nice,I love being able to go and see her now that I have passed my test.Dh is doing a job for my dad thursday and he is giving us half towards his car tax so that helps a lot.I am so positive that they will get the extensions at his work and all will be fine.I have stolen my daughters laptop lol and its really quite a good little thing I just miss mine and I can't hog this all the time,If I can't get mine fixed I will sell it for spares and buy one of these,I think I'm just being too picky as my laptop is 19" screen so I am so used to that
