    Default Unfrugal Time

    Having a very unfrugal time at the moment just spent £80 getting headlight on car fixed (my own stupid mistake), can't line dry my washing anymore as tree pollen is aggrevating sons asthma (already resulted in hospital admission this month), friends wedding requiring present and outfit this month, no time for batch cooking or shopping around for grocerys as got 3 essays on the go. Sorry for the moan just needed to off load.

    Just do what you can. No one can ask more. Line drying, no big deal, your children's health comes first.

    LIfe happens, no point in beating yourself up! It'll get better.

    One day at a time, keep your eye on the goal and these little things won't bother you so much. We all have these times when life cuts in on our plans.

    Well one thing you can do is dry clothes half way and then hang them on a rack or shower curtain rod to finish drying.

    Sometimes that happens and it is frustrating. But when you can you will get back into it. Good luck with everything!

    Dont worry, things will start looking up in no time and Kids are important so even if you have to be unfrugal it's worth it for the health of your child.

    Well at least you have frugality on your mind, I believe thats all that counts. When you have a chance, you'll get back to it.

    You can only do what you have time to do...no one can expect more...

    Don't be too hard on yourself. Sounds like you're fully aware of things and handling them well...

    We all have those times when things just aren't going right financially. Life is never perfect. Just do what you can and remember that things will get better eventually!
