Damn those bills!! Mine are climbing at the moment. Just had to scrape everything I had left to get my cats teeth fixed (just adopted a special needs Sphynx and he had baaddd teeth). But he's fixed now. Bank empty lol.
I guess another way of looking at it is that I'm glad I had enough to cover it all, even if there is none left. (Please Universe, no surprise bills until my next pay haha)
Yeah I've had a mixture of expressions, and a few are either avoiding me or have written me off. Not too bad, the ones I really care about love me no matter what.
I have a Christian friend who gave me similar advice, she wanted to respect me by telling me she cared but God says it's wrong. I've never been the religious type so it doesn't bother me what God says. I think as long as every human cares for each other and never acts in a way that is deceiptful or mean then that's all we would ever need - all religions have the same base principle anyway, they just believe a different deity said it. I also think that temptation is ok, as long as we remember moderation (and the whole not hurting other people thing.) I just think we should all be 'excellent to each other'.
I hope your Mum comes around and glad your Bro is a sweety. He would know you better than anyone, and from the little I've seen you're a sweety too!!
We should become pirates. Sail the seas, pillage and plunder! Garrrr
