Time to start again

[happy daddy]

Harrys dad thank you for your help i so really appreciate your advice hopefully i will get a better idea with whats going in the next couple of days with whats going to happen, I am going to try and stay positive Originally i was supposed to be at work today but when i went for an 8-2 shift i was sent home we have lost 3 residents since Thursday and because of this staffing hours will be cut until we get new residents in, although losing a days pay i was sort of pleased to have a day off I had to take my daughter back to her mums early, she went home last night as she had a very special singing performance today, she sang to the new Archbishop of Canterbury the suprise look on her face when i turned up and she saw that i was there it was magical and thats what i love i am so proud to be a dad and show my love for her. My afternoon was based on a few things me and Emma watched a movie together and we enjoyed each others company colouring in and joking around before she went home at 5:45 pm
This evening was based on doing a few things around the home I do try my best to help my Mum and Dad around the home with chores and DIY they are so good to me and very supportive.

Spends for today has been nothing
Hope everyone has had a good weekend stay safe X

Thank you head above water i really do appreciate your comments well i have finished work for the afternoon 8-2 things still haven't been sorted at work but i am hoping to know very soon what is going to happen, i just wish to be honest i was in a position to share what had happened on here just to get peoples opinion but i am little scared to but i do swear i havent done anything wrong, i have worked in care for 18 years now believe me i would not blow it for anything, i simply love my job, well my little bit of money saving for this afternoon is to go and pick my daughter up from school but not by car but by foot, my daughter will be so horrified its all slushy here after the snow i have sold my clothes and some book to be recycled for 27.50 i have kept my good stuff out to be ebayed to which i am going to start soon any way have a good afternoon i am going to go and have some father/daughter time x bye Happy Daddy xx

[HeadAboveWater]

From everything you have posted you do sound like a genuine guy who lives for his daughter. You don't come across as someone who messes people about, either at work or outside work. You've also been at that job for 18 years. I think they'll know the real you. Don't be worrying

[happy daddy]

Thanks head above water really appreciate it, i loved having my daughter tonight whilst her mum was at college, my daughter is very excited, that she has another singing performance at the end of the month i am so pleased that i am going to be able to attend the performance,well my daughter has been to singing practice tonight and it was great to spend time with her it really makes me realise why i want to be debt free for the future of me and my littleone the future is going to be a bright one, well this evening i have spent doing surveys via swagbucks whilst watching The Royal Variety performance, Tomorrow i am working 8-8 but i think i may have a look into howmuch i have saved tomorrow evening well spends have been nil today but this would not be achieved if it wasnt for my wonderful parents xx forever i will be thankful tomorrow a nice batch of soup is going to be made by dad xx so looking forward to it xx well going to get some rest good night x everyone

Morning HappyDaddy,

Sounds like you have had a rough time lately. I do hope it gets sorted soon and you get more residents in, and get your hours back. Its the last thing you need at this time of year.

What good timing gettting Monday off to be able to watch your daughter. I bet she was soooo pleased. I know how happy my children get when I turn up at school events etc.

Keep smiling, it will get sorted soon. These times are sent to try you, but I know you can get through.

Morning HappyDaddy

Sounds like you had such a lovely day yesterday. We need those occasionally to keep us going. Well done on the low spend for dinner. As I was reading it, I thought, oh no, this is going to end up being expensive, but you kept it low, well done.

Great news about the job.? What is is doing? It must be quite flexible to fit it around your shifts. Annoying about the CRB but guess sometimes you have to speculate to accumulate .

Hope you are having a good day, guess you are at work.
Take care

[happy daddy]

Thanks stressed Steph i really appreciate it My second job is based in care but working in learning disabilities, this is something i have always wanted to do it does have its advantages aswell its much closer to home and my meals areprovided aswell but the biggest thing for me aswell is the opportunity to progress and get promoted right up to home manager so, at the moment i am doing bank work until a permanent position comes up watch this space....

On Friday it was a day off for me and there was no opportunity for overtime,, so i decided to venture out and do the mission of Christmas shopping each year i keep saying to myself ONLINE SHOPPING but i dont i am a sucka i guess i love to be half froze death and loved getting dragged about. On the afternoon of Friday it was spent with my daughter i love picking her up from school i love watching her face when she see's me, I simply love my time with her and love to watch to see what the weekend unfolds with her she is going through a phase of trying to teach me how to dance gangnam style the problem is i have two left feet its very funny watching us dance.

The spends for Friday:
88.00 Christmas presents for my daughter (this included)
* 3.00 car parking
*8.00 for a roast pork dinner and a glass of coke

On Saturday It was time to go back to work i worked a 8-2 shift my daughter spent time with Granma n Granda whilst i was out and when i got back it was time to go to football we love Football in our household even my daughter but what we do we dont go to any expensive professional league match we watch non league we have so much fun, and its a heck of a lot cheaper and thats my advice to people who want to follow football non league clubs really do appreciate the following
On the evening me and my daughter went to see my best friend and her godfather, its a special occasion for him its his birthday so we went to Asda picked up a few goodies and went back to his house and had a Xfactor party and cheered local artist James arthur we had such a great night my daughter played dance teacher and was trying to teach gangnam style until my best friend pulled his back oops ;s
spends for saturday
5.00 for football my Dad bought me refreshments
8.00 for my friends Birthday
What ever everyone has been up to on MSE i hope its been a goodone i know i have had so much fun, i am so excited about things i know once Christmas is out of the way i will concentrate on my finances i love how i have changed my ways and thinking I have a new motto In 2013 HappyDaddy will be debt free and i believe this, I believe in myself, that i will achieve and a much better future for me and my daughter Just watch me go,

[HeadAboveWater]

Great to hear you're feeling better

Fab news about the job too! Are you going to go for it? Would it cut into your time with your daughter much or will you still have as much time with her? The extra money would be great too!!
