    Well, spoken to the boss, grovelled and made him coffee. Dont think he is too impressed but there is not alot i can do. He has offered to give me a lift though as he needs to go to the bank, so £2.60 saved. One of the reasons i never buy a return ;) Plus i dont need to leave so early.

    Checked quidco and a payment of at least £20.15 is due out at the end of May - every little helps!

    Ive have hugely overspent this month, beaver uniform, two nights out, make - up, smoking is way over what ive budgeted. Def going to put money into envelopes next month. To stop me over spending and just leave the cash card at home, so i cant spend it.

    he he he

    got a lift from the boss and was home at 1.30 :T would have left at the same time if i was getting the train, but bonus was ive just had a cuppa, watched a bit of neighbours and ive still ot 40 mins before i have to leave:j Going to start sorting this mess out, had the great idea of starting to clear out the hallway cupboard, yeah right. Its bigger than the bathroom and filled with boxes that have never been unpacked :o Should get it clear though and then i can store things properly rather than just throwing junk in. I also need to sort all the clothes and throw / give away ones that dont fit or are not worn as they just seem to get constanly washed.

    still chuffed to be at home this early, being a proper mum today :rotfl: its so nice to be home this early on a weekday, dinners served at a resonable time and there is no rush to get things done.

    Hi Angie, am thrilled Joe managed to get to camp and hada ball. I think Beavers is just what he needs. To get 2 badges as well, he'll be so chuffed and what an good sense of achievement. You sound like your doing well and are on an up. Maybe not such a brill idea to sort the hall cupboard out- sounds like it was one of those "why did I start this Jobs"- any how keep up the good work and big hug to you both.x

    I've got £0.92 coming to me!!:rotfl:

    Glad Joe had a good time, enjoyed himself and "didn't think of you once mum!" :rotfl:Classic!

    I do things like open a big cupboard one day and decide that there and then would be a great time to sort through it? Never is though!!:o Is there anything in there worth ebaying or bootfairing?

    Thanks Nats and robsmum

    The hallaway cupboard is not going well! There are still boxes that are now in the hallway. There isnt alot to ebay or for a bootfair = plus ebay keep cancelling my account despite me emailing them several times :mad:

    Quidco money i will use towards Vanquis, i really want to get rid of that card.

    Joe had a good day yesterday, all three stickers. He just had a gentle reminder of what behavour is acceptable, and that he needs to keep it up.

    Ive got a long day today, meeting at 6.30 :eek: So probily wont be home til at least gone 8, my dad is collecting Joe and giving him dinner, so will just need to sort myself something to eat.

    Money is so stupidly tight, but its my own fault, i didnt budget properly and didnt stick to it anyway. So have overspent on quite a bit. I will get my act together next month.

    Morning All,

    :o Well the week isnt going any better :rotfl:ended up at work until gone 7.30, last night isnt that bad i suppose. Was home just gone 8 as boss gave me a lift, which was great no £2.60 on train home.

    BUT this morning im running very late :o I knew 10 mins ago i would never make the 8 train and as they come every hour i know im a we bit screwed this morning. I decided to stop stressing, calm down as to be honest there is not a lot i could do, i could get in 10 mins earlier than the 9 train would, but i would need 3 changes and the last time i did that i was later anyway as they cancelled one of them :mad:

    So as im late in, im on here and then im going to empty the washing machine then reload. Will need to leave here at about 8.25 to get Joe to the childminders on time still, but at least i will be early for the train :)

    Wont be spending much today just train fare and beaver money for Joe. I managed breakfast today :j one of the bonus's of running late and ive got a cheese sarnie and a bag of crisps for lunch as i relised i didnt eat yesterday :o what with running around to Joes school and working late, i jusxt forgot about lunch and was too tired to eat last night and as my dad fed Joe i didnt need to bother cooking at all. Need to eat better as im running tonight.

    Also just remembered Joe has no tutor on Sunday saving me £24 which i desperatly need.

    Well the day isnt getting any better.

    Just had a call from the school, Joe has walked out 3 times already, they have asked either for me or my dad to go in. My dad has gone this time otherwise i think keeping my job would be rather hard.

    I havent a clue why he is going backwards? He was doing really well.

    Im hoping my dad will call me as soon as he gets to the school. I feel sick that i couldnt of gone, when i should have.

    Hour later ive still got no updates, i really should have just gone, instead of my dad. I hate not knowing whats going on. Everytime i try and call my dad its going onto voicemail.

    Well turns out Joe refused to go into class assembly. He then did go in and threw a chair :( then walked out again. School didnt know what to do so called my dad in. Joe has now gone back into class but has got 4 slips in 1 hour :(

    But i have now got a appointment with CAHMS on the 1st of July. Im just hoping they can do something for him.
