    Was it you that needed stuff from B&Q.. Just got the email below from Quidco, thought you might be interested?:

    Well done to you too Yukki! I'd love to be under 80k .:)



    I feel that my world is falling apart from all around me today and nothing is going right at all. It's one of those days! The babies are poorly , DS2 is playing up again and walked out and money is bugging me.

    I feel as though I should be making more money or saving more in some way but I just don't know how to. I've just found out that my maintenance money has stopped this is the money that I decided this month would no longer be included in our monthly budget as it seems like a unreliable amount to depend on..but it was extra money we could have had .I wouldn't mind so much but its arrears anyway that have mounted up over the years.

    I need to earn more pennies. :)

    I feel that I should get a job , which is funny as I'm on mat leave still so still have SMP coming in. I officially finish next month. I feel as if I'm not pulling my weight and earning. I couldn't get a job if I wanted as we have no one to look after the babies plus if I'm honest I don't want to pay someone to look after my children. Arrggh. I so want to move but we are wondering on whether we should stay or not for another year.

    Decisions - they are so difficult to make sometimes.

    Sorry for the moan. positives now..

    AF order has come yum yum , not many treats in this time, but lots of sprinkles to have on cakes!

    I made a Victoria sponge 2 days ago and it didn't look the part but WOW it was gorgeous and everyone commented on how nice it was. I'm interested in baking more cakes now I have the confidence. I think tomorrow will be a baking day.

    I got a survey letter and DVD through the post to watch something tomorrow on tv and then online , I think its come through tolunnnnna but not sure but I'll find out more tomorrow when my email comes through about it. Anyone else got one ?

    There's a £5 fee though for the year and I can get 10% off with my mum being a OAP when she comes over in May, so wouldn't be worth it.
    If you don't have to show anything to B&Q about being a Q member then can you email it me please ?

    I think we all have days like this, tomorrow will be another day. Us MFW lot are so impatient aren't we. I am always wondering how I can make more money, and the temptation to overpay rather than save is so great.
