27 years on this earth now (not feelin' too hot)

August was quite a good month. I got the results of my English language GCSE , I got a B and was more than content with that and looking froward to doing more courses.

After years of lacking confidence in education I had actually achieved something worthwhile.

Then In mid September my computer joined my printer in the land of broken machines, It was very frustrating. To add to my frustration, a week later I had my benefit taken of me and was told I would only get 44 pound a week to live on for up to 26 weeks while i waited for my appeal to come up, this was a complete slap in the face (but that's life).

Then as I was trying to get to grips with these inconveniences my mother started to feel very down until she was so unhappy she phoned me to tell me she had taken an overdose. I had to get her taken onto hospital to ensure she would get the necessary attention at the start of December. This meant that i would have to go home and look after my little sister (13 in January) until my mother could recover.

So here I am two weeks later, my mother doesn't seem to be getting better and Christmas is just 12 days away.

During this time i have also had two other major incidents in my personal life to deal with and I am starting to wonder if I will ever get a break.


I just hope that the next time I write on this blog I will be able to say that i am happier and that my life will get better.............
