pammyj74

Thanks all, I do need to have a night off really but cant bear that I could lose out on things. My colleague said I looked tired today and I wasnt really concentrating.
Tooth is ok most of the time except night time when i go bed grr

Have treated myself to a new style haircut today and will colour it later.

Hi all, have tried to pop into everyones threads to say hi etc

I have been taking a bit of a break these last couple of days and I feel better for it.
I have also decided that this week I am going to not stay up past 12am and to get up 20 mins early to have more time in the morning and take more pride in my appearance for work. When you think you look good you feel good and all that blah. Prob wont last but will try.

Need to ring halifax to see if i can get a break down of the last few months, my ss doesnt match up. just need to check all the ops have gone through. I would love to have a statement up to date like the banks do.

Result ex looks like he might pay half dds school trip which would save me £75 if he actually does. He made me laugh as he wanted a copy of the trip letter which i took on my phone and text him today. He then asked if i got help as im on benefits for school trips. I wish!! After all that he said he would send the cheque direct to the school. Now im glad that he is paying but its so offensive to think that I would use the kids to scrounge money out of him!
I would NEVER use the kids against him no matter how bad he is to us. grrr watch this space to see if he actually pays it! If he doesnt im going to ask his parents!

DD has stopped Judo which is £12 but i want her to do at least one activity a week as she stopped swimming the other week too. I do want to try and go swimming a couple of times a month with them though.

As part of my 'doing good' year I was looking through a few charity and volunteer sites and came accross whizz-kids which deal with disabled kids and came accross this well deserving petition.
I would be really grateful if you could all sign it please, it only takes ONE MINUTE of your time and could mean so much to a child.

http://www.whizz-kidz.org.uk/fastforward/fastforward-petition/

a bit of bumph about it
We’re calling on the government to Fast Forward reform of NHS wheelchair provision for disabled children and young people. This will ensure that all disabled children in the UK can access the right mobility equipment and ongoing support that they need without undue delay.

An estimated 70,000 children are waiting to receive the mobility equipment that is right for them. This wait often takes months, even years. In the meantime, children are missing out on their childhood as they’re unable to fully participate in family and school life, and keep up with their friends.

The government has made a commitment to reform NHS wheelchair services on many occasions. Following the recent General Election, we would like to urge the new government to Fast Forward improvements to NHS wheelchair provision for disabled children

So a little minute of your time would be gratefully recieved thank you

Good luck with the getting up early in the morning- I am finding it very good at helping me be less stressed and more positive in the morning.

Have to laugh at the ex, sounds like DD's dad! Getting money out of him is impossible. After 2 1/2 years of waiting for him to pay me something - anything - towards DD's upbringing, I ended up just going to child support agency. Wish I did it the day we split up as I really could have done with the money. Live and learn.

Will click on the petition and sign.

pammyj74

thanks mw. will they back date the payments? Should be good if they do!

newgirly

Hi Pammy, glad to see you are easing up on the surveys for a day or too. Have clicked and registered for your petition

Hi, I have signed up for your campaign - great cause.

Definitely worth taking a break from the latop for a few evenings. Last night my eyes were really aching, it can be very draining sitting on here for a few hours especially when doing the surveys, etc. I have been trying to split my time by coming on early in the morning before work and then some in the evening.

Hope your ex does make the payment for your DD. Funny how exes always twist it round like they are giving you the money to spend as you will, rather something that is actually going directly to their own flesh and blood. Always such hard work hey?!!

museumworker

Unfortunately not pammyj, they only seek payment from the day you contact them. As I said, live and learn. I gave him plenty of space to make financial arrangements - if I could tell my young self to not do that I would!

pammyj74

@mw, thats shocking, I thought they did. How stupid :mad:

thank you all for signing the petition they are a long way off so anymore peeps that want to sign it please look a couple of posts above please please

well my plan to go to bed before midnight did not happen last night as got into an argument with my sisters friends on fb, they were absolutely so rude and I wouldnt stand for it. so ended up going to bed at 1.30

Am definitely going to try again tonight :cool:

Played a while again with the kids, putting a huge lego pirate ship together. Its very rewarding and I should do that more often, bad mummy

Am at 74k on toluna so quite near to another voucher , am 5 measly points off ipsos grrr,
Am £96 on ebay.

The house is such a tip at the moment and it annoys me picking up after the kids all the time I have left it but I know I wont settle until it is done again but i cannot urge myself to do it. I need to as my sister is coming to stay for the weekend. It wont be a cheap weekend I guess either. kids are at dads so we will probably go out but its needed!
