Evening :hello:

Well I survived the room of doom :rotfl:

2 black blacks of clothes to the clothing bank at the local school
2 black bags of clothes I'm going to sell on fb
1 black bag going to the charity shop
2 black bags to the bin

My daughter is a manky pig but it's spotless now everything is put away in a place that suits her, all her stuff that should be together is together and everything has been wiped down.......again ewwwwww

Been working since 7am this morning set up playgroup today only 9 kids attended :T so a nice quiet session was in order :T I'll take that

Went to the bakers and bought everyone rolls came to £9.09 the. The kids played with the playdoh whilst I cleaned the kitchen even managed to sweep and bleach both my kitchen floor and my hallway floor whilst the kids were playing :T

Need to tally up my avon orders think I have over £300 but will do that after the last of my mindees go home my youngest has fell asleep on the couch so older ones are on the PS3

Sent another £9.96 towards the Halifax hoping hubby brings home a wage tomorrow as itching to get this under £5k by end of the month :rotfl:

Hopefully finish work at 5pm today then I'll tackle the living room so it's nice and ready for the weekend

then if I have energy I'll do the bathroom

So I have two bundles of girls clothes to sell and a pair of Nike air max trainers that Kk no longer fits into so hoping for more pennies for the Florida tin this weekend :j

We have nothing planned this weekend so hoping for a pyjama day on Sunday as hubby really needs it as he's working so hard and word is getting round the suppliers and they've informed my hubby he's one of the busiest garages in the town he is in.............I'm so proud of him I really am xx

£100 better than opnothin tbh as he's taking a low wage at the moment as he's putting money by to get his mot station sorted but it costs £1100 so they nearly have the money ready for that which I should great as it means it's money I don't have to find :T

Think I've sold kks trainers for £11 meeting the lady today are the nursery run :T which will be going straight into the Florida tin :T

Ordered Kk batman trainers from Asda cost me £12 but seeing as hubby gave me some money :T I thought I better get them before they sold out as bpmy son is batman daft at the minute :rotfl:

Sent £5.59 towards the Halifax card today, was money from my topcashback account :T love free money

Waiting on just over £4 to get confirmed from PA and that'll be another £20 for the Xmas pot this month

that's £40 from PA this month

Started work at 7am this morning.:eek: I'll finish at 5pm long day plus I'm tired so so so tired as abbies panic attacks and anxiety are at peak form and I don't know how to help my baby girl........she's putting pressure on herself regarding her studies but all I want from her is the best she can do I don't want her to feel pressured so we had a talk and we are banning phones / tablets after a certain time so we can enjoy each other's company and she's to stop locking herself in her room as that makes the problem worse ........here's hoping it helps plus we've taken her phone out of the room at bedtime so she's not tempted to check her phone during the night

Going to playgroup today £3 on the bus £4 then a mad rush for lunches then I'll pop to Asda to get the trainers and hopefully drop of the shoes and get my pennies for the Florida fund :cool:

Also have sold my sons paw patrol bundle for £70 :T it's immaculate and sat in a corner so my friend is giving me money for it on payday :T which is next Tuesday for her but it's another £70 for the Florida tin :T woo hoo

Aim of today within all the madness is to gut the bathroom out and bleach it within a inch of its life :rotfl:

You really have my sympathy about Abbie, Luke is 4th year as well and has starting freaking out about his nat 5’s in the last few weeks. I downloaded a hypnosis app for exam stress for him (£2.99) and it totally relaxes/de-stresses him. Tbh it relaxes him so much he falls asleep every time he listens to it! He will test it out in the next 2 weeks as they have to write out an essay for French under exam conditions that is sent to the sqa, it makes up part of his grade, so I’ll see how he fares and report back. They also have one for anxiety I’m sure, it’s under the chill pill app on the App Store, it’s free to download then you pay for what you want.

I have used one of their other apps and it worked really well so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. xx

Great news r.e. the business, well done to hubby for making a brilliant start!

You're doing so well with the bargains and extra income for Xmas.

I hope your dd starts feeling a bit easier soon, nothing worse than exam anxiety there's so much pressure on the students and teachers to get stats.

Your son is in the same year as Abbie.......will defo look into this app will try anything to help her but the school nurse phoned me and she says we are doing the right thing by not letting her come home from school when she wants to as the more she does the the worst the anxiety will get when she has to return to school xx

nonnie44 · 24 October 2017 at 3:31PM

I’m sure the nurse is spot on, doesn’t make it any easier for you though

Not sure about your school, but it’s made it a lot harder for teachers this year at his school due to the changes they’ve brought into the Nationals. Dd was the first year of nationals ie guinea pigs and now Luke and Abbie are the next guinea pigs :mad:

Dd struggled with the pressure too, she is now 2nd year at Uni and will be using the app to help with her exams - she’s going to be a tech teacher and really understands how tough it is for her brother xx

I was nearly in tears on the phone to the nurse as I wasn't sure I was supporting Abbie in the right way and Abbie has said to the nurse that we have a great relationship so I'm happy that I'm not stressing her out but I need to be a bit more understanding as I was brought up to just get on with it if something is dragging you down but I can't do that with Abbie xx
