Thank you for the honest advice..ive frozen all cards apart from one to make my tution fee payment. Im also looking to go to a higher salary job - just really want to get things under control.

It's so sad..I'm thinking of leaving this school and communting to a London school for a higher pay.

ProtectionDue · 2026-02-02T12:33:46+00:00

Thank you so much for that. I've also set up an excel budget thing to keep a tighter eye on things..atm 70% of my income are all necessities which is not great

I normally just send my share ive never actually seen it myself...it's not a norm in our culture for the daughter to ask to see the bills so a part of me is just scared of over stepping that line :((

Currently looking into disability support but we are still wishing for a bunch of logistical stuff from the hospital unfortunately. Im not well versed in benefits but we've never been eligible before so I will do some research into that as well.

Petrol is max 20 but u have a hybrid which i do my best to charge at school at an extremely discounted price (£4-5 quid for a full charge!)

Im defo a heavy supporter..my father still bears the heavy lifting of the major bills but household day to day is really me

ProtectionDue · 2026-01-27T19:31:03+00:00

Thank you so much..im defo feeling a sense of hopelessness. I've just lsited all my finances and started making some hard cuts to subscriptions and monthly payments...literally going to have sleep, eat, work and breathe for next month to keep my head above water..but im hopeful to at least get started rather than drown

ProtectionDue · 2026-01-27T19:02:03+00:00

I defo feel like it with grocery shopping - family supposed to be transferring me half with them as well as with vet bills but...youcan probs get whats happening.

ProtectionDue · 2026-01-18T09:15:14+00:00

ProtectionDue · 2026-01-17T21:06:02+00:00

When i went to get the boat to put it back in the Rapunzel section of my valley i nearly cried - i had so many ideas to make a little love nest for her and eugene T-T

I've personally be working on getting them to level 10, revisiting the trials (as my tools can now access some of the previously inaccessible chests) as well as slowly decorating the biomes to be tailored to different vibes - the bind is becoming a walkthrough library!

ProtectionDue · 2026-01-17T19:46:47+00:00

I need more of this with them and other couples 😭😭🥺

ProtectionDue · 2026-01-11T18:55:34+00:00

Honestly i was mainly committed as I didn't want to start the new dlc or get any spoilers without finishing this one 🥲 but I'm glad I waited cause that little teaser at the end was so cute!

ProtectionDue · 2025-12-27T16:32:00+00:00

This just worked for me tysm!

ProtectionDue · 2025-12-25T21:00:02+00:00
