Well done for giving despite all the crap you've had to deal with. Sorry about all the bad luck. I am also pleased about your socks. Nice socks are far rarer than they should be.

Thanks. It's been a hell of a year. We went from pretty financially secure in July to basically unable to pay bills in December, and we haven't changed anything. Then the food bank put out a call that they have 5000 new visitors this year, on top of the 12000 regulars. If we're in the shit, then everyone below us is deeper in it, and need cash more than we do. Not sure how we're gonna pay for our little guy though, that set us back two months wages.
