A question about : Three choices in life; Give up, Give in or Give all you've got!!

This is my 2nd diary on MSE. My first diary, When I asked for luck I didn't mean the bad variety!! has to be closed as it's reached over 5000 posts!! It can be found here;

In 2011 my Husband had a motorcycle accident resulting in a severe brain injury, memory problems and Epilepsy. Unfortunately he is getting worse not better and I am now his full time Carer, which can be challenging, but I'm ever grateful he is still here! I also have 2 boys aged 10 and almost 5, a part time job and I'm currently a Beaver Leader but I've just given notice to leave at Christmas (as much as it pains me!) as I just can't manage that too. The last 3.5 years have been hard going for lots of reasons, but worth it. Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day!!

At the time of the accident we owed over Ј23,700 on credit cards and we currently owe just over Ј3000. Hopefully this diary will see us getting debt free forever! I hope you'll join me.

Lucky Xx

    So, to pick up where I left off in my last diary, DH didn't have a full seizure last night and has been ok today . He had mini seizures yesterday (which he calls 'waves of fear'), which he sometimes gets as stand alone seizures, but they can also be a precursor to his full tonic-clonic fits so I was a bit on edge. We still haven't heard from the Epilepsy Nurse who was supposed to call us on Friday last week, after she'd spoken to DH's Consultant following DH's spell in A&E. I did ring to chase her on Tuesday but she was in clinic and I just got a secretary who promised to pass the message on. I will call again tomorrow if we still haven't heard anything.
    DH and I went shopping today while the boys were in school and I'm feeling much more sorted for Christmas now! I doubled up Ј15 of Clubcard vouchers so got Ј36 worth of things for Ј6 cash and we got some good bargains elsewhere too.
    Tonight I went to Clubbercise and it was awesome! It's an exercise class done in the dark with disco lights and glowsticks and I loved it! Well worth the Ј4 it cost, I haven't stopped smiling! The class is on on Mondays and Thursdays and after I give up Beavers at Christmas I will certainly be doing it once a week.
  • Hello Lucky! I am here, late to the party as always!
    Wicked news about clubbercise. I am a little jealous but so so happy that it has made you smile. Ј4 is nothing to cheer you up!
    Love the new diary name. Very you indeed xx
  • No use hiding, i found you ! Wishing you only good things and much happiness in the next chapter of mse-ness
  • oooo New Diary, am subscribed sorry I haven't been around, evil work being evil. VERY glad you are stopping Beavers. ridiculous amount of prep!! too much time and certainly not me time. silly doctor person.
    Will be around more next week but meanwhile, HUGS XXXX and
    Holy Jesus you have paid off a LOT of debt!
    Amazing woman XXXXX
  • Good luck with your journey. I am a Guide leader and i know how hard it is, sometimes i put more into that than my teaching! Good decisions won't be regretted, just think of the wonderful memories you have created. x
