    As of today all this money we have raised is still not enough for our excess. I thank everyone for their donations. They mean so much. Once insurance is settled I myself will need to pay the extra $470.00 on my credit card to get the insurance paid out (they will replace not pay out, so there will be no reimbursement) It has been getting me down so much lately as I find myself upset about money and how I am going to pay my credit card off now. I would have had it paid off at the start of September ready for saving up for Christmas, but now it seems I never will. I have also promised my partner j would move out from my mother's house in January (after putting it off for months on end because it will effect mum greatly with money) but now I don't know if I can even do that as our money will be tighter than ever and requires my rent payments to help ends meet. They say money doesn't make happiness, but I can dawn well say that lack of it sure makes sadness. I'm not usually a charity person, I don't accept help from others usually because I'm a proud person but I feel so down right now that anything helps. We are now also going to have to bear the cost of a $1000 alarm system in our home to feel safe again as we cannot move (mums first home, only bought 2 years ago after house fire) Stress is piling up immensely and I feel as though it is all too hard to cope with. Victim support have not even contacted us even after myself calling up wanting someone to talk to mum and 2 police officers on separate occasions asking for them to speak with us. I have lost all my faith in this government (how they are funding the wrong things) and also the people in this country. At my work we get a lot of insurance claims through of stolen things, it's disgusting how people can just do that to someone, especially not knowing them at all. It sucks knowing someone was in your house, have seen all your personal belongings, photos, documents and have access to them via the technology they stole. I feel disgusted. We need a miracle, we can't live like this.

    Filling out insurance paperwork is hard. I have a bit of ocd when filling out forms and I have to make it perfect. Think doesn't cut it for me. Stayed up late last night doing the paperwork and tracking my stolen phone. The police are helpless when it comes to search warrants regarding gps tracking. I just want things to be normal again and to have a normal day at work without feeling sick and tired.

    Today was crap. No calls from police, no help from friends. Nothing. It's hard knowing someone out there has been in your home, gone through your personal items, know what your family and boyfriend look like from photos in frames. It's been so hard trying to be normal again. We can't eat properly, sleep properly, do anything properly. I'm usually a well presented person but today I went out to the supermarket not showered and in track pants. Life is not fair sometimes. Tonight we are filling out claim forms. Hopefully insurance accepts our claim. We have also needed to get an extension on our phone bill because money is so tight. Hope everyone's having a better week than us.

    Today we have had no luck on our search with police for our stuff. We are realizing we will not get it back which sucks. Thankfully some lovely person from Auckland has purchased a new laptop for Joshua which is absolutely amazing of him. Big thanks to who ever you are man! He was very very happy. We are now under the impression that our insurance will not cover us as the window the thieves got in through was latched on the first latch to allow for an extension cable to pass through (there is a cut live wire in the garage so we had to turn the power off for fire safety reasons) After the burglary we have since rectified the window issue by drilling a hole so the cord can run through with window being fully latched. (If only it were that important to us beforehand) Today has been a stressful day with running around a lot and I only have one day left until I am back at work again. Thanks for donating guys. Every bit helps.
