helnag

Hi and thank you, always helps when people say nice things.

My second job is doing home care and I love it, I have done it on and off for the last 6 years and it's what I enjoy most. I can't afford to give up my main job because of the money and my boss is great. I work from home all week and only go in on a Friday which is perfect. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth as they say.

5) 4 hours of work. **Priority**

6) Painting with dd1, she is off school again and missing art club today, also meant to have friend over so being mega mopy.

Woohooo!! Good for you!!

I'm all snotty and can't really be bothered with anything, going to see my friends new lil baby in a bit though, really don't wanna make her ill since shes already had an infection. I've got half of a plan with my Avon stuffs, sooo hoping it all goes well though! Think i'm going to write a humongus post for my thread later lol. If got lots of calls to make and stuff before I go pick the monster up, he's all excited about seeing Hazel's baby (have to keep reminding him it's Hazel's baby sister and she didn't actually have a baby herself since shes only 2!) he picked her a present so he feels all grown up and important. That'll probably only last til she cries though, then he'll freak out and run away from her!

Keep thinking it's Thursday and that i've got work tonight, wishing my week away already! lol.

Oh bless, even hearing about babies and newness makes me so broody. Would so love another baby but for obvious reasons it isn't really an option at the moment lol.

I hope you feel better, snottyness is not good, do you suffer from hayfever or is it a cold? Thank goodness it isn't Hazels baby lol....that would be a shocker!!! Good Luck with the Avon, I think as long as you're committed and you're not young and stupid like I was then you'll do well out of it. You seem like you've got a good head on your shoulders and just the fact that you're on here proves that you don't want to end up with money problems. I f only I had your sense when I first got a loan and cc.

I feel on top of the world today, even scooping the poo in the garden hasn't bought me down!! I hope it lasts.

I used to wish the week away but now seeing as I only go to work on Fridays and all over the weekend I much prefer weekdays!!

xx

YummyMummy20

I prefer weekdays too, lunches and (window) shopping are much more fun than tiredness and fending off drunks!

It's a cold, summers bad enough for me with heat rashes without hayfever too!

OMG you must feel good if even pooper scooper-ing hasn't got you down.

helnag

I don't even window shop any more...the temptation is too much .

I have just booked myself an appt with the stop smoking clinic at my Doctors. I haven't been smoking as much as I used to but now feel ready for another attempt at giving up. My appt is next Wednesday so plenty of time to prepare myself.
