I want an easier life for myself and my family

I think either today or tomorrow I am going to write down what food I have and work out a list of various meals, that way I will know what I am doing. It's great to have this diary, as it takes the thoughts out of my head and puts them on here, my head can't cope with all the negatives and worrys over money, I suffer migraines anyway, I when I stress they get worse.
I also love my iPod touch, because it means I can update regularly without firing up computer. And I can do from all over the house.

I tried ringing for shifts today, but there was no answer on all 3 phone numbers that I rung, I am thinking that maybe they were off but probably on call for hospital wards. They are meant to be open saturdays, so I will try again tomorrow. I do enjoy my job and feel I make a difference, I just need regular shifts.

I have a painting that I could sell for the right price, to me it's worth a few thousand but to a normal person probably a couple of hundred. Hmmmmm do I try and sell it or not, not sure. Also out of curiosity, I have a diamond necklace worn once, it cost about £2000, where would be best to get money for this.

Diamond necklace - I'd try a proper jewelers but make sure you get a couple of prices to make sure you are getting ripped off.

I have not long finished work, I rang the bank agency about weekend shifts, and they asked if I could work this evening, so I did a late shift from 2.30pm to 9.30pm, I couldn't turn it down as it's about £70-£80 at the end of the day. I also have another 4 shifts booked for the next two weekends, that means the money earnt would clear either barclaycard or virgin. It's horrible knowing that I can't use the money for treats but nice knowing I will know longer owe to barclaycard.

I have just paid £168.59 off the barclaycard debt and have changed signature, although this will probably need adjusting slightly due to interest when the bill comes in.

I am very pleased that I have managed to get 5 weekend shifts in the next two weeks, I must keep ringing weekly to try and get more shifts as the weeks go by, it is very tiring but I need to do this.

I am just making dinner then I will try and mealplan a bit, to help me not spend, ideally I want to meal plan for the next two weeks and to only have to buy milk and bread, and maybe potatoes, I really think this is possible, fingers crossed.

I am also doing surveys, my aim is to save them up and use for Christmas 2010 and the odd birthday, I have £15 in amazon account from this, I will definately stick to lightspeed and valued opinions, as these are good to do. But I may also start to do global test marketing and onepoll again, not sure. I did do dooyoo for a while, but it was very time consuming, I took so long writing one review.
My daughters birthday is in February, so I need to work out what to get her, she doesn't need any toys, so I need to get my thinking cap on.

Ohhhhh and arghhhhhhhh, back to school for daughter today, back to mundane routine for me, get up, make breakfast, make packed lunch, leave house and walk to school.
It's not that bad really, it will be better when it gets warmer again, I think I just have post holiday blues, I like not having to rush in the mornings during the holidays, I am sure that I am not alone. Probably by the end of the week I will be back to normal and back into the flow of things, I have payday to look forward to on Friday, so that can go off a debt, and I have three shifts on Saturday and Sunday, so more money for debts, I am going to be so tired after that, I can feel it already. Anyway off to make daughters lunchbox up, won't leave until 8.30 as it's cold out, so we will get to school and she can go straight in.
