I am so glad i put the slow cooker on this morning! And its just the weather for it. Have put it on warm now so its ready for when i get Joe from Beavers at 7.30.
Need to have a quick blitz everywhere really, how do people keep there houses tidy? I only have a tiny 2 bed and cant manage that! I must try harder!
Money is okay, £2.50 from quidco today, and spent .49p on a reduced card / toy thingy from the corner shop and work.
Boss has said he still needs to sort my pay? Well hes been saying that for the last 3 months so we will see.
Joe is staying at the childminders as the 2 brothers are staying tomorrow night, childminder offered for Joe to stay too, and even though its a school a night ive said yes. It will be very strange for me to have a school night off and not to have to get Joe ready in the morning. Im planning to get a lift off of my dad which means no train fare plus 2.5 hrs overtime. Its just getting in the right frame of mind to be up at 5.30 ready to leave for 6. Plus its dark in the mornings now
Anyway, should stop waffling on here, blitz the house and get some pics take for ebay.0 -
Well i know how to jinx myself.
Joe walked out yesterday and today was even worse. Havent a clue why hes started doing it again. he says he is being bullied, but i dont think he is and neither does the teacher. Breaks my heart that he does this. Back to the drawing board i suppose. I just thought wed got over the worst of it.
The 2 boys are now not staying at the childminders, but she says she will keep him there still. Not sure what to do on that either. Half of me wants to drag him back home and the other half just wants him to stay there. He knew id planned to go out, its like he does this on purpose at times.
Maybe he cant handle praise, i dont know. Suppose our spends will last a little longer now though.
I JUST DONT KNOW ANYMORE! He goes for all these assements and no one will tell you anything, they just say well what do you think! Err der, thats why im bloody here. If i knew i could try and fix it. His behavour is not due to the teacher this time though as she is great. So i keep coming back to what i originally thought, its me. It has to be me. Im the only constant in Joes life there is no other reason. I always knew having him young would be hard, i just feel like a failure, a complete failure. I cant give him the family unit he craves, he doesnt have a dad, his dad is a junkie, i work all the time and dont spend as much time as i want with him. I just feel crap, crap, crap.0 -
Well after that rant im not feeling much happier but at least its all out! Off home soon. Be back tomorrow.0

Afternoon All,
Well yesterday was a strange day indeed! I did leave Joe at the childminders and went round to a friends house for several large glasses of wine. Was home by 10.30 but it was good to get out and have a rant in real life. Ive spoken to Joe over the phone, he asked about Saturday!!! I cant take him out now, not after yesterdays behavour. So we will see what today is going to be like. Childminder will no doubt call soon and let me know. Im hoping it was just a blip. Im still not sure weather he does it on purpose or not. He mentioned to the childminder that he wouldnt be staying at her house as hed had a bad day. Who knows.
I did spend some money last night came home with £1.50 left out of a tenner. Went halfs on some nice wine and on my way home i had to eat as i was feeling rather ill! So i had a chicken burger and chips from the takeaway which was a bad move as ive had heartburn all day!0 -
woo hoo i have a bid on one of my ebay items!!! Only a £1 but its a start lol.0

Afternoon All,
Not been up to much this weekend, have been sorting though Joes stuff and trying to gave a bit of a clear out.
Only three items ending on ebay tonight, 1 has a bid and 1 watcher and 1 item has 2 watchers. Hopefuly something will sell.
Have listed the following ending in 7 days, so hoping to have one day where everything ends each week
black next dress BN
6 sim cards
bt home hub
black pumps
purple pumps
yellow and black dress
x2 hand made phone charms
pair of grey school trousers
Will find some more stuff and list the rest of the handmade jewellery thats finished.
Best get back to sorting dinner. There never seems to be enough time over the weekend to get everything done!0 -
Ebay listings have finished, out of the four, 2 sold, 1 didnt and one i messed up on the ending time.
Suit Jacket and the black adidas t shirt sold for £3.19 plus postage after ebay fees. Im hoping that i got the postage amounts right.
Its a start, and ive now got 12 items listed all ending next Sunday. Im hoping to make at least £50 by the end of this month so i need to start finding more stuff to sell. At least im clearing out stuff as well, so longterm will help me get this place tidy.0 -
Afternoon All,
Still waiting on payment of the t shirt. The other item will get posted tomorrow. So hopefuly it will get to them this week. I really dont need any bad feedback being a newbie.
Took a couple of photos of jewellery last night, will take pics of the rest and aim to get them on tonight once munchin is in bed. We have spoken about walking out of class etc so hopefully today will be better than last Thursday / Friday.
Really should go back to work now. I need to meal plan for the rest of the week too, i know we have mac cheese tonight and thats it!0 -
Morning!
Transfered the £10.41 from paypal to my savers account - im not sure if they took the ebay fees out of this or if it was the paypal fees
will have a look tonight. T shirt has been paid for. I will go to the post office at lunch to post these and will get proof of postage while im there. I think ive undercharged the postage on the suit jacket and overcharged on the t shirt :rolleyes: so will need to check that when i get to the PO.
Ive got a dress ending today and both pairs of the pumps (ending Sun) have 2 watchers. They were only £4 from Primark and have listed that so even if i only get my money back its better than nothing!
Was a bit naughty and spent £1.20 on coffee this morning - except the knob at the coffee shop didnt put the lid on propery so i spilt it all over myself and a gent in a lovely suit
Will serve me right for not being MSE and bringing my own! (my excuse that i have lost the god dam travel cup!)
Anyway thats about it. Joe had a really good day, hoping it continues as always!0 -
Postage for the 2 ebay parcels came to £6.22, ive drawn £10.41 from paypal so profit so far £4.19. Not alot but im clearing stuff that has no use and its only two items. Hoping i sell most of the bits next week. Didnt manage to get the rest of the jewellery on but im hoping to do that tonight. I hope some of it sells, cause then i can make more lol.0
