ooh, I'd love a Wii and a wii fit, but the price makes me go a bit _pale_
well, sigh, I haven't done any AQA this afternoon. I'm so stupid, tomorrow will be incredibly quiet as it is mid week and everyone will be looking to earn. I just felt so tired this afternoon but it was the chance to try to get £30 or so under my belt with OH at football at the moment.
Guess I'll have to dip into my savings again. The thing is though, when I add up what I am doing, I am doing at least 37 hours a week as it is across 7 days for my office job and AQA - I've worked out I need to be doing at least a 50 hour week - permanently - to be able to break even each month. I need £1200 a month after tax for bills and food and it ain't happenin'.

You'll love it
Your children are older than mine (DD 12 and DS 10) but I often played cleaning games with them when they were little - 'Oooohh isnt this fun, lets clean out the cupboards' :rotfl: Folk mocked and said that they would soon cotton on, and they have to a degree, but DD still loves to tidy up (anywhere except her bedroom) She spent many happy hours the other week cleaning my cooker, which hadnt been done since I bought it
She finished school a week before the rest of us, and I came home a few times to find she'd busied herself cleaning Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
