Morning all!

Well monday soon came round didn't it Although have to admit since being off mainstream work it's not as dreaded.

Bf up and off to work this morning so should see him friday, its the longest we been away from each other since meeting so a bit of a shocker,

Dd off to school in a happy mood, which is nice! Im sure this will change when she comes home with a 10 stone school bag and homework!

Me well busy day ahead as usual, had some money go in the bank account today from god knows where lol... its all getting a bit random this but no doubt tomorrow the bank will update and explain itself,

Last week i paid my 08-09 tax bill of £38 quid by cheque, on thursday they paid my 09-10 rebate in and deducted the £38 i owed them from last year, and today i can see on my bank they have cashed it the cheeky buggars so going to call them and get that back lol

Anyway my DO list for today is

1) [STRIKE]Work 8-12[/STRIKE]
2) [STRIKE]Shower and get dressed[/STRIKE]
3)[STRIKE]Wrap Ebay things that i sold at wknd[/STRIKE]
4) [STRIKE]Go to post office get them posted and do some food shopping[/STRIKE]
5) [STRIKE]Put some washing in and have a bit of a tidy up[/STRIKE]
6) [STRIKE]Cook tea for me and dd[/STRIKE]
7) [STRIKE]Get some more things on Ebay so i can find my utility room again (now doing @4pm[/STRIKE]
8) [STRIKE]Relax with DD she wants us to watch drop dead fred [/STRIKE]

*** and hopefully hear something from my interview i had on thursday ***

Have a lovely day all xx

:nods:

I was saying just that to my dd over tea, she asked if i was getting bored and i said all the things i had wanted to do whilst juggling 2 jobs i am now finding time to get sorted but i know they won't last forever an boredom will set in,

Got some seeds delivered today from BBC DIG IN so going to hopefully get those in the greenhouse this week,
Still not heard anything re job which is a little deflating but i have another interview on wednesday so need to do some reading up on that tomorrow.
Managed to get about another 30 items on ebay today with some more to do tomorrow so that pile is going down nicely,... but god how i hate the wrapping and getting it posted off

Managed to watch drop dear fred tonight, bit of a let down seeing as how my daughter had told me it was hilarious,.. even at 12 her humour is like an adults but it was watchable i spose

Right gonna catch up on some diaries and head off to bed methinks,,

love to all xx

Hiya all

Feeling a bit pants tonight what with bf being away but after chatting to him on fb seems he is missing me too which is always nice to hear

Today was breakfast meet with a friend and a walk round some gardens at a local shopping centre, and then home to more ebay

Ended up having a spendy day which i could have done without tho

dd needed a dress for my cousins wedding next week which was £16 but will now need shoes etc to go with it.
Then i had to post dd and bf passports off so thats cheques for £120 and a payment of £5 just to get it there tomorrow

All bills i really can do without

Got more things on ebay today and sod the tidying up only me and dd that sees it this week and its not really that bad just not how i like it

Working now and looking for some airport parking, have found though, and im sure its no new news but for an extra £6 we can stay at a hotel before hand rather than set off to Gatwick at 4am on the morning we fly, going to call tomorrow tho and make sure i have it all right

Back to work i go till 12 and interview tomorrow

love to all xx

Thanks ladies although the last thing i am feeling is organised and on top of things


Ive had money go into bank account in past couple of weeks etc and majority of it has gone, this is my problem i spend, hey i know thats stating the obvious but it just annoys me and i know all the tips, not taking a card or only taking limited cash but it just dont work for me

In the past lets say 4 days ive gotten through £400.. i mean thats just ridiculous dont get me wrong its not all wasted im not THAT bad ive done shopping, paid sky, paid car insurance, paid credit cards, paid petrol and been doing my pads so i havent just thrown it away plus had to get dd a new dress for wedding etc etc but the amount i have wasted is scary out of it as in my situation i should have been more careful, I didn't expect to get it and its gone and now i hate myself for it. I still have some money in the bank and got my JSA letter yesterday saying im entitled to money from 9th april fortnightly so im hoping that will go in friday and bf gets paid friday so i know he will give me some back from whati have paid out but i just hate the fact its gone., hate hate hate

I am working this morning till 10 theni have all the forms to fill in for my crb for the job and other declarations, im not in the mood for the interview its peed me off nobody has gotten back in touch about the other one eventho they all said it would be end of last week. I have my cousins wedding next sat which i have naff all to wear for and all my family slim beautiful and sorted and i feel so frumpy next to them,,, even tho im far from frumpy just urm lets say curvacious ??? lol

Went to bed last night about 12.30 after a cat got stuck in my conservatory and smashed a window trying to get out even tho i opened a soddin door for it!! Then i just laid there thinking and having nightmares last time i looked at clock it was 4am and i was up again at 7 so a nice grouch today!

Sent in my tax credits renewal form yesterday and thinking " ohh i only earnt £10k last year i wonder if they will send me a nice payment back,,, it wont happen im not due it but for a moment i think it would be nice

Wow im in one today arent i, ebays still slow few watchers but thats it, missing bf badly need a cuddle and really really just want to go back to bed


ill shut up and if you have any sense you will reach for the gin before you pop in next lol

love to all xx

Aww Hamsterwheel, big 'virtual' hugs to you :grouphug: (and a dodgy looking group hug too :rotfl:)

Don't beat yourself up about the money, just think 'right today I will attempt to change things' I know how you feel though as i'm the same and beat myself up and get so angry with my lack of control on spending.

Do you have a spending diary? It's something I do on and off and when i'm being good and keeping to it I don't spend half as much - just need to do it :mad:

As for the wedding, i'm sure you are far from frumpy! Why don't you start a little health kick from today, do a little exercise every day, eat sensibly, buff yourself i.e. nice pamper soaks in bath, lotions and potions etc for the next week and i'm sure you'll feel in better spirits and feel fab come the wedding day

Keep chin up and just keep thinking how nice it'll be to see OH when he's back. Not seeing each other makes you appreciate each other all the more - I often don't see OH for few days at time due to work commitments etc and it's always lovely when we do

Hiya all!

Hope the viewers of my whingeing and whining are all well today?

Steady day for me for once, well i say steady i know that won't happen lol

Couldn't sleep again last night ended up reading alan carrs biography till half 4 to help me drop off but i found it entertaining and it did the opposite lol Alarm went off at half 6 and i think i might have used a profanity :rotfl:

Working this morning for a couple of hours, then picking dd up as she on a half day then we have to go 30 miles to meet up with BF as he needs some tools he has left here ... Have to pop into town to get dd shoes for the wedding next week too... more expense have looked on ebay but her feet are so big and wide she has to try them on!

Ebay is a little slow, still 2 days left on things and up to bids of £2.97 :T retirement not yet on the cards i suppose!

House needs a it of clean, well in my eyes so i may just plan a mission tonight as i have a night off work

Interview yesterday was urm,., different! Got there on time all went well, as it is working with kids from abused beginnings in life the scenarios you have to answer very quickly kind of throw you, of course there isnt any real right/wrong answer but you have to be seen to be saying the right things,
... so when they ask..." if a child spits you on swears at you and kicks you how would you deal with it..." apparently a " clip round the earhole" is NOT the right answer :rotfl: Gee how times have changed lol

But anyway i think it went ok apart from when they told me about the hours, i mentioned before in an earlier post they are long but they are weird too like 3 days a week tues thurs and sat you work 7.30am till 10.30 at night then do a sleep in on the sunday and then have 4 days off and then do 9 days on and its all over the shop. Its not ideal and i have to say i doubt i would manage to juggle dd and do this which is a shame as its my dream job.,. maybe one day!

Still nothing from that other job which REALLY annoys me when they rush you in for an interview etc etc and then nothing....

My sister and bil have asked BF to do some work this weekend for them so thats extra money too, he will be rich and im on nothing lol... no as i said b4 i know he will see me ok i just hate asking . He is home tomorrow night and i have to say i cant bloody wait!!!

Ya know, i only popped up to say hi and now look at me, hamster wordsworth strikes again

Hope you ladies arent running out of gin lol

love to all xx

HamsterWheel_3

Pssssssssssssssssst... t'is i the furry one again


I would say a litte update but knowing me my lil digits will run away with me and ill write another essay

Anyway got to town got dd some shoes red satin look and high heels,,, she's 12!!! but walks better in them that me i have to admit, i found a dress i liked but couldnt really afford it so walked away, on phone later BF said " why didnt you get it i told you we have some money tomorrow! i changed subject as always lol

Had some mad post today lol

I sent off from the bargains board for some Parkers Bulbs and had 250 of them delivered all for about £3 so going to hopefully get them in this wknd if it doesnt rain!

Tax credits wrote to me to tell me im due a 4 week run on and thats £84 so they sending me that in a chq on the 7th may,,

Then the council lol.. as you may have read i had an overpayment i hadnt realised my own stupidity and thought it was going to be hurrendous i took everything in and waited, didnt sleep didnt eat cried and basically fretted,, they sent me ,,,, wait for it,,, a 116 page rundown!! 116 bloody pages of assessments and on the back page............. said how much they had overpaid me and i was to pay it back at £10 a week from my benefit

So i had gotten myself into such a state for nothing,,, what a wuss!

I then tried to ring the tax office regarding the £38 they have taken twice from me but after being on hold for over 20 mins to an 0845 number i gave up

I then tried to ring the wftx to make sure they had got my forms and on the off chance they would tell me they owe me thousands but.... after being on hold to an 0845 number.... i gave up too i did try the sayno to 0870 page but when i tried the lesser numbers it cut me off straight away so wonder if they have cottoned on to some of this

oh cripes look ive done it again,,,( didn't britney sing that? lol)

shall we move on to absynth maybe more effective xx
