Keep going 40sm - it is tough and families are not cheap - but it is true that love is what they need the most...you can do it....this time last year I owed almost 10k personally, now it's half that, just by staying focused and getting my priorities right, and our overall outgoings are high...and BTW there are many many better at this MSE lark than me, but I do what I can and you will too.

Just focus on the big picture and what you want to achieve, and you'll get there......

Well what with everything yesterday I only managed 4 hrs at work yesterday bringing my total up to 30.75/45:(. This means to meet my target I have to work 14.25 hrs before Monday :(.

DS1 was so sweet last night. He gave me a big hug and said he was really sorry for upsetting me and he will try to be good today. So far so good:)

Must dash & get the kids to school ( hopefully without tears this morning)

Have a good day .

Good luck with the ebay, Ruby.:)

Well Ds1 was very good . It was the other two that played up this morning:mad:. Still they are now at school :j:j . Deep breaths and relax... all is now calm in the 40something household. Well I say calm ... the dog is now winging as he wants his walk . I'd better go take him to the park . No rest for the wicked and all that;)

Bye.
