    Evening CAFC just caught up with your diary.

    Glad you and hubby got things sorted. It amused me that he called you lazy when he was on the Xbox himself lol. I think I would have put his controller somewhere rather unpleasant lol

    I am lucky with my hubby in that respect as he would never dare say that to me as he knows full well I do a darn site more than him lol

    Mine does know that too, its just the minute he does "something/anything" he's like a whinging violin! You'd think he did everything!:rotfl:

    He did however cook me a really nice dinner, which when i thought it out, really wouldnt have cost a lot so quite happy that we can add that into the recipe files of things DH will eat :T

    Hey everyone!

    well last night went suprisingly well my boss wasnt half as scary as i imagine she was really nice and understanding, we told her certain thinks which she wasnt aware of and she has promised to get another worker on our section to lighten the load and also to do a temporary rota meaning everyone will have to work on our department to make everyone realise how tough it is. She has asked if i can work extra hours (which is what i have been asking for months!!!) so i can work an extra 2 hours per night whenever I feel its necessary, which will be for at least the next month cause the place is a mess this means lots of extra pennies for crimbo!! :T

    I have also put my name down for the night shift when a vacancy comes up :D

    So i'm alot happier, OH has been given some money hes owed to things not as dire as i first thought.

    Have been sent one of them toilet hippo things, which reduce the amount of water you use to flush your toilet am gonna get OH to fit it tomorrow, hopefully that should help reduce the water bill, every little helps

    lol @ putting the controller somewhere rather unpleasant lol lol

    I have just caught up with this and you guys are so inspiring, £30 a week to live on is enough, so why have I spent over £400 since 21st October - and thats when I'm supposed to be watching it!! I should hang my head in shame :(

    Ahhhh Bella hun, Im so glad it went well for you. Sounds like your manager really listened and is going to be proactive about sorting it out for you. Great news about the overtime as well, that will come in really handy. Hope you get that extra shift!

    Hey Winkle - Im exactly the same. I spend and then at the end of the month I have a mild panic at how much ive managed to spend, and have very little to show for it.....

    Its only having no access to any money that seems to work for me, so no cards, no cash!

    Hi everyone!!

    the 2 extra hours per night (not doin it on fridays) should give me over £300 extra for the month which would be brill, hopefully the night shift should come up soon really hope so it would be the answer to all my problems :)

    Hope the furniture gets built soon cafc, and hope you feelin better soon i've got a bit of a cold too :( went to my friends last night was quite drunk lol!! feel not to bad this morn didnt get up til dinner :) xx
