I have been fortunate enough to never know the feeling of struggling with money and not knowing what you are going to do to make ends meet. I’m very grateful for that I know that’s everyday for some people.
I will await the phone call from mechanic on Monday which will have the exact damage bill, then may consider parents, not that it’s something I want to do but desperate times hey.
I’m angry because my car isn’t very old at all it’s like 3 years old, this is frustrating.
So, I have to find a car in the meantime because H needs hers.
Its just a —-storm really, honestly

Hi Jackson,
Hope things work out okay for you with the car, house repairs and your job situation. Have a chat with your Mum, we don't know if people can help us unless we ask them.
Struggling is not nice, it can help us appreciate what we have once we are over the worst of it!
All the best from Dools

As I said before, I will await the news tomorrow then go from there. Had a quick chat about it with Mum today about the house, they pay be able to pay for a bit of what needs to be done, but I said we’ll see how we go. I was pretty heightened last night so I think I was maybe making it a lot worse in my head, maybe.
I just tell myself absolutely nothing can be done at 10pm at night, can be dealt with tomorrow. And maybe, just maybe, I might get some good news.

I need to learn to relax CMF, warranty will cover car, it will be ok! *Big sigh of relief*
I can almost breathe again, maybe once our house is done and I get the car back. The house stuff is important but it will be sorted. We have cool house in the heat (yesterday) and a warm house in the arctic like conditions (today) so cant complain. Can you believe we had the wood fire going on the weekend?? It’s November!
Work was tough today.
If I get this job I’ll probably cry. Need some good news.
Could be worse, many people have lost it all this week 😞

I would have been the same, expecting the worst, worrying. Many here would relate. So glad the car and house situation worked out better than you expected.
Air con/heater...I with you there. Crazy!
How are H & W? I'll bet you're all excited about his 1st Christmas.
Keep us posted, sending you positive vibes and blessings.

Hey CMF, yeah the car thing isn’t ideal but it’s the better case scenario than forking our thousands like I first thought. Just have to organise a car for myself in the mean time, parents may be able to help, that’s a job for the weekend.
We are very much looking forward to our first Christmas as a family of 3 (or 4 with Suz). Hannah, absolutely not surprisingly, is already getting organised. They are both going along really well.
Took W for our nightly beach walk tonight. Feeling pretty down and disappointed because I did not get the job, but I took him out anyway. I like my job and the organisation I work for now, it’s great, i just hope we can come to arrangement for next year. It should of been finalised by now. It should of been finalised a couple months back, so that’s why I am so anxious about it. Nothing has been done so that makes me think they aren’t keeping me on, I’m struggling to get an answer from the boss. He just says when he knows i’ll know, he means well but it’s my young families future we are playing with here. In the end he is a messenger sometimes, and has to do as he is told just like I am. But it’s frustrating not having the direct communication with people who make decisions like this, he said all he is able to do is provide feedback about my work and fight to keep me. If I was successful in getting the new role I would have nothing to worry about. Now my brain is going to go over and over why I might not of gotten the job, did I say something weird? Should I of been available to start sooner? Did I misinterpret a question and go completely wrong.
Relax. It’s done now.
Going to the water is a nice way to end the day. It’s funny because it took ages before W actually saw the ocean! It put him to sleep before we even got near the water some evenings. Now not so much.
I just can’t believe how fast this year is going. This time last year we had no idea our lives were going to be like this. New job, new baby, got more settled into the house, 2019 has been massive. It’s weird thinking this time last year how I had no idea any of this was going to happen, now we have a 3 1/2 month old.

Hey Jackson
always great to see you 'on the air' 🙂
You are spot on when you mentioned how time has gone by so fast....it does for sure. You also made a good point about your boss and decision making. I have been in his shoes and yes everything does get unnecessarily complicated when a decision has to made.....unfortunately...
you are a great dad Jackson
my kind thoughts for you and your family Jay

I’m absolutely spent at the moment. The good news is I won’t be unemployed next year, I was never going to be, I would of worked something out, but there was some good news coming out of the office today, although in a very similar role it will be slightly different, there’s quite a bit of background to it all but I won’t share.
The bad news is W is going through this phase where he wakes up every hour. H thinks she read about it online and it’s common for his age or something but that doesn’t make it any funner, she tells me not to get up to him at all and leave him for her to deal with because I have to work but I can’t live with myself if it’s 8, 9 times a night.

Friends of mine have a son almost the exact aame age as W (he was born end of July).
Recently he went through a terrible period of not settling, some nights waking up to 16 times. Unsustainable.
What they did was consult a sleep specialist - paid a one off fee, i think it was around 200 bucks - and that gave them a 2 hour comprehensive consult, and they noticed changes within 2 nights. The specialist also gives unlimited advice until the issue is sorted. You might want to consider it.
Also, they found he has some dietary intolerances/allergies, so they're on an elimination diet journey at the moment.
Just some ideas 😊 hope you all get some much needed sleep soon.
