Ive Turned On The Light

Have you tried copying one line of text onto 6 lines?
What happens if you change the view (the A/A in the top right corner)

When you preview it before saving, does it look ok or can you not get that far?

Morning all.

Thought i would have an update of my life.. even if its only me reading this its surprising how much this lil blog helps me.. so thanks for the Webspace!

Friday 10th today,, Back on nights tonight 7pm-7am .. 4 on 4 off again so saves me being tempted to go out at wknd and spend money or go shopping etc.

Spent last night toing and froing to the house im moving into and managed to get a lot done.. even took a bottle of water with me rather than popping to shop and buying a drink.. thats tap water by the way

This morning i have done my clicks like a good girl.. I also did RAC breakdown last year through MbM but it took like 9 months to track so when it was time for renewal this year i cancelled it. I have just been on Quidco for the first time and now gone with Greenflag. Got my cover for £33 for the year and £20 cashback! :T

Also as we move next friday i sorted out loads of clothes belonging to DD who clearly has had a growth splurt yet again :rolleyes: This,, as we speak.. is now going on ebay. I was going to list items separately but i find i often get a lot left over whereas in bundles it goes easier and i really cant be doing with extra things lying around in the new place.

So its back to work for me tonight a long friday night ahead through till 7 in the morning.,. then i shall work from home texting till about 11 in the morning... then ill sleep.. then ill start back at 7 @ night... this will be my life for the next 4 days!

Hope you all have a good one

Hi Smamfer, funnily enough I am about to move into a friend's house for a bit, with the cat, to save some cash and hopefully help her out too, so I can totally relate to the moving!! Ebay is my new best friend...

Must say, you are an inspiration- single mum and working so many hours a week, you sound very determined and I'm sure you will soon make headway with your debts. The texting job is very intriguing!! I think I'd run out of things to say!

Have you maybe thought about keeping a diary of everything you spend on a daily basis to see where that surplus is going? Keep up the good work!

Smamfer - just a thought on the sig - make sure you don't have anything after the last text character (incase you've hit return a few times which is going over a few lines)

Thank you very much for saying so i average about 80 hours a week and i do feel guilty at times for not spending as much time with my daughter as i could but fact of the matter is i have always worked and my family have helped bring her up with me so they watch her while im working, they dont mind this as they know its a rareity that i actually venture out, Strangely enough my debts arent giving me sleepless nights as noones chasing me and im on top of them but still doesnt mean i want them lol.

I out some bundles of clothes on ebay last week sadly only one sold for a pittance which is always the risk you take. I have reslited the others again but if not they are going to charity, i dont mind this after i have tried to tell them, Rather help than bin

:T Cant believe im happy that i have spent money lol

Got car from garage, i had planned £250 quid approx... it was £150 I do need to get a new tyre on my car shortly so will put aside £50 for that but thats still£ 50 to go towards one of my debts...

Or tonight im thinking of going late night shopping what with me moving i have a completely bare cupboard so need absolutely everything. I feel a bargain hunt coming on

Good luck with the move!

I totally empathise with the guilt at not spending enough time with your daughter. My DD is 3 and I work 2 jobs as well - like this past weekend I ended up working Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday day and saw her for about 5 hours in that time! She's happy spending time with relatives though and I think in the long run it's good to teach her a strong work ethic and that you have to earn what you have. I know I learnt that from my mum who was in a similar situation to you when I was 10!

Thanks yeah its one of those funny situations isnt it.. she knows i work a lot and she knows why,, she also knows she has never gone without, I was raised with both working parents but 2 sisters we never had much money but never went without a holiday a meal or clothes on our back, I don't spoil her by any means she gets what i want her to have which yes may be more than some kids but when im working as i do there's no way im going to let her go without a treat now and then.

Back to ebay to buy a blind....
