FML

No, really. Fuck.. My. Life.

Waz just lost his job. 3 months notice pay plus holiday outstanding and the door.

Anyone who is friends with him PLEASE don't mention it until he does, it's pretty raw right now. This is for me to rant but I know there are a couple of mutual friends that will want to show support.

And on moving day.

I'm so angry and so upset for him right now I'm shaking and a lump in my throat keeps threatening to turn into vomit.

No more tears though - we have a house to shift.

I took the rest of the day off work, unsurprisingly. My boss is great.

To try and look on the bright side I'm going to do that thing that [livejournal.com profile] gracewillow  does

3 things I'm grateful for:
1 - Three months for Waz to find a new job
2 - That I am a strong young woman, capable of looking after him right now and being strong enough for both of us.
3 - My/ Our friends who are wonderful and will help us look after each other.

You know what.. .being a grown up sucks.

Edit: I'm an idiot. My lovely other half has informed me that the interest is per year, not per month, bringing it to a reasonable £11.00 ish a month. Lol.

What a d-bag I am.

And I was reminded why this morning. I got a letter through from my bank. The interest-free part of my overdraft is going to reduce down to £1000. This would not be so bad if I hadn't been paddling at the bottom of my negative figures for months unable to quite get out. So now they're going to charge me a tasty 17.81% on my £700 over-over-draft. Either I find that £700 in less than 6 weeks, or I start paying £100+ in interest a month, or I look into alternative financial solutions.

If I am truly lucky and there is but one ounce of anything smiling on me in the universe I will be able to convince some nice bank to give me a balance transfer onto a credit card which will be 0% interest for 18 months so I can pay it off that way. That way my £100 a month can go to paying it off rather than sinking it into interest. Oh and eating. Because that £100 a month is what is feeding us right now.

I feel a bit sick, to be honest. Sick.

This plus house moving. Argh.
