pammyj74's MFW diary (or possible wishful thinking!!)

greent

Aw, Pammy, have a non dodgy (((hug))) cos I can't get the dodgy smiley up! Unfortunately it doesn't sound like DD's dad is going to change It's sad that she already recognises his faults You sound like you are doing a fabulous job of bringing up your children, though - give yourself a pat on the back Re DS1, it's hard, but better that than his dad not be involved?

Tiredness - you are always so busy. How are your iron levels? (I'm prone to anaemia and one of the first things I notice is relentless tiredness) Perhaps a few early nights with a good book and a long soak in the bath - with no surveys/ reviews. A re-charge of your batteries sounds like it could be in order - and a happy and healthy mum is more important to your children than earning OP monies for a week. (Then maybe take a night off a week once you're 'recovered' - everyone is allowed a break after all!!:D)

TAke care of yourself x

thanks greent, I do suffer from low iron, last time I went to give blood I wasnt allowed and I always seem to be rushing around. I may need to be strict with myself and let me have one night off completely lol
The last two nights I have not really done any money earning and have actually gone up to bed before 11pm :eek:

I was naughty and did a survey at work today 50p VO just a lickle one

I never thought I would ever say thank goodness for a bit of rain, saves me watering the plants tonight but I did get wet taking the seedlings out of the cold frames haha
Some of my bulbs are shooting through :j I love it

only 25p from onepoll today and 50p from VO only them sent today

Havent done any comps lately (didnt win from any of the last few hundred I did :mad:)

next month is going to be tough with holiday stuff to get so think OPs will be on hold til I get back but you never know

Stay positive Pammy. It sounds like you are doing the right thing and that is the main thing. The kids will see that, and if he wants to sacrifice hos relationship with the kids then it will end up being his loss in the long run.

I understand about the tiredness too. I sometimes feel like i have been burning the candle at both ends, then broken it in half and burned the broken ends too. There is always something that needs my attention. Early nights all round needed by the sounds of it. Hope you feel a lot better tomorrow.

I was also really glad to see the rain. The water butts empty so quickly in the nice weather so it saved me a job and will also save me some pennies.

Hi Pammy,

Just caught up with your diary as been away with work. Sounds like you have a lot going on at the moment. It sounds like you need a well deserved break. Enjoy your holiday and just focus on having some fun for a bit. You have achieved so much in a short space of time so just be proud of what you have done.:j

As for the kids Dads, try not to let it get on top of you. Your eldest is growing up and has obviously started needing his independence. Just enjoy all the free time you have:beer:. As for DD, it must be hard for her with her dad being a pain in the ar*e. Just re-assure her it isn't her fault he is like this and enjoy the time you have with her.

Before I stop rambling on I just wanted to say reading your diary is such an inspiration to me and I'm sure others on here, so just keep going and we are here when you want a rant!

pammyj74

thank you both, its nice to get some appraisal and assurance every now and again (dont get it from anywhere else!!)

It is tough and I have sort of took a step back this week

Got my dooyoo cheque this morning so off to the bank I go shortly. Also withdrew another £10 from paypal and could probably do another £10 as someone else paid today but might leave it in there until there is £20.
Have 3 ebay items to send today, 2 signs and a dress.
Have made £50 clear profit from ebay this month which is fab.
My extra earnings this month has been my best yet at just over £300 (when quidco pays ) (£45 of that is amazon vouchers) which is lucky with the extra passort payment I had to do.
better do my ebay before PO shuts!

pammyj74

got my ebay stuff sent but missed the bank :mad:

sent 3 surveys and only accepted on one, ipsos 75pts, onepoll just 10p

boss's mum said she had a half price voucher for hair cut for both of us if she recommended someone so snapped it out of her hand, £10 for a well needed haircut.

work colleague has got me worried about Advanced Passenger Information, do I need to have that for a package holiday flight? I dont remember having to give my passport details when I booked but if I did then I need to change my kids numbers grrrr.

Hi Pammy, just wanted to say have a good weekend, don't let things get you down with the kids dad.
Yours is one of my fav diaries to read, and is very inspiring :A
You must be very proud of what you have achieved so far, I think you are a great example for all of us MFW beginners, so thanks :T

pammyj74

awww thats really nice, thank you. My diary is nowhere near as amazing as some of the others on here I am pleased at the progress so far especially doing it on my own

well I have an unexpected day off, DS2 is a sick little boy. Had a qtr of his brekkie this morning and then was sick all over my bedroom carpet! He has just had a drink of water and within minutes that was on the living room floor!!! Nice! So he is all curled up on the sofa. DD had a dodgy tummy she said but she still wanted to go to school. I hope I dont catch it but probably will being nurse maid. I hate being sick (who doesnt)

So might spend the time wisely and do a couple of dooyoo reviews and study

sent two surveys and one completed - GTM 35pts

Ahh Pammy, hope the little ones feel better soon and you don't catch it.
