I set up a burger van/cafe in a static caravan in January after being made redundant in Novemeber.
In February my God Mothers sister collapses in hospital aged 52 caused by a virus. She suffers various heart attacks and strokes and is now barely coherent and slipping away in some sort of hospice/home place.
In March or April (can't rememeber just now) this year my H announced we needed time apart and a week later asked for a divorce, I was oblivious to the fact that things were really 'that bad'.
In May I met a luffley new man who lives 100 miles away, I am welcomed in to the family like a long lost something or other.
In July this year luffley man's mother, who has been battling cancer is about to be told its terminal whne, in the blink of an eye is suddenly whipped away from us, i have 2 hour journey to the hospital, I get there in 90 mins and she slips away before our very eyes.
My van is doing ok, i have doubled my monthly takings since February, have won some local companies over and am building a lovely little customer base.
In the last few weeks since luffley mans mother passed I have been broken into 3 times, despite taking steps to stop this happening. ALl they ever take is drink, chocolate and pop. SOCO never manage to get a decent print. Altogether this happens 5 times.
This morning I arrive on my Ind. Est to see the police turning out of the road where I am situated and I know they are there for me, I see my van door wide open - again. The police accompany me in and all my little van has been emptied, all my equipment has gone, about £500 worth. I cannot afford to replace it and even if I could it isn't worth it as it will all go again, of that I am sure.
I am officially out of business now, there are very very few jobs in my area, I am falling further and further behind with my mortage and now I have no income and £90 of stock going out of date in my front room and a 3 yr lease to work my way out of
Luffley man is sat at the side of the A12 with a blow out on his lorry and I can't talk to him just now as thay're trying to get him sorted. He wants to drive up tonight to be with me as all I have done is cry down the phone at him today but he has had to sell his car to help pay for his wonderful mums funeral.
I hope you don't mind but I sort of just needed to get this all out
Please, someone tell me something truly wonderful which has happened to them this year - or alternatively, if you too are 'enjoying' what is possibly the sh!test year of the century then please feel free to add you whinges here...
OR, you can hit the 'back' button and carry on as if you never read this!
Roll on 2010 xxx
That is all
