Daisy - is matched betting tricky to learn - I've often fancied having a go but wonder if it is really time consuming. Have you lost much?

It is tricky to start with but once you get the concept of it, it's pretty easy. The bit that can be time consuming is looking for the bet to match as you have to bet at one bookie and then find similar odds to lay(which means bet that the same outcome won't happen) at at an exchange like betfair. I haven't lost any of my own money I've made about £150 profit so far which isn't bad in just over a week!

Pollybear - don't let pigpen see that you cleaned the oven - then we'll all have to do it!

Don't worry, I won't do it again. Feel ill now and have to lie down

suzieq - I hope your DH is well soon, don't try to have everything perfect at the moment, just make sure you are all fed and watered, the house can wait.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: I can't do my studying. Its going on about households, couples, what happens when kids come along to income and the lifestyle changes you have to make and its making me cry so I can't read the text for tears. My head feels like its about to explode as well as I've got so much going on which I can't post about here thats really messing my head up. I think I'm going to have to give up again. Its days like this when I wish I could turn back the clock 10 years and do things differently so I don't end up with ex/DD but go down a completely different route with my life by working harder at my A-levels and going to a different university to do a different course to get a job etc. Off to find the tissues.

NICKI!! .. Don't you dare say you'd do things differently.. you know you wouldn't be without DD for all the world and we know it too.. she is the motivation behind your studying and trying to turn your life around now. She has given you cause to carry on on the days you want to stay in bed. You can and you will do this.. and you will do it excellently because you care so much. You are just brilliant.. a great role model, a fabulous person you give so much of yourself and you will do your very best and that will be more than enough!! huge hgue hugs for you.. and the strength to get through this module.. you have all of us behind you and you can do it.. I know exactly where you are coming from I had a module the same when I did my child psychology but I got the highest marks for that module because I FELT it rather then learned it.

pigpen

HHC anyone??

12:30-1pm.. 1:15-1:45pm.. 2-2:30pm

I'll get my list done in the likelihood it will kill me!! I am totally unmotivated today.. possibly due to not having had any time off this weekend with the sleepover and the plaster and the carpet washing.

Off for HHC#1

Mudbath

Nicki - massive hugs to you. It's hard studying when it kind of feels personal. You are doing fab and your a brilliant mum. I often read the stuff you do with your DD and think how lucky she is.

GnB, ifits and tinsel - massive hugs and best wishes for your littlies. I find out in two weeks if ds needs an op this year...you just feel so powerless don't you. Hugs again.

It's peeing down here. Pigpen - i'll do the 115 till 145 hhc and the 2 till 230. I'm going to miss the first one as i've just finished hearing 30 x 7 years olds read and I need to sit in a darkened room!

Hugs to all xx
