    Afternoon / evening :rotfl:

    Is it bedtime yet???

    Wee Kk got up at 3.45am coughing and spluttering poor wee thing then up again at 6.30am burning up..........sick of him being poorly but this is the season for him being poorly least there has been no hospital visits so far ......touch wood :D

    So started work at 7am wasmeant to finish at 2pm but mum texted me asking for a couple more hours as her kitchen flooded :eek: so of course it wasn't a problem and it's extra pennies for me :T

    As Kk wasn't feeling too hot decided to skip toddlers and go for a walk into town and get all my wee jobs out the way I needed done

    Found a set of keys in the middle of the road so handed them into the police station :D

    Took some broken gold I found in my jewellery box to see if it was worth anything..........apparently it was lol £160 to be precise :T stuck that in my bank and sent it straight at to Halifax :cool:

    Went into cex with a couple of games got £2.70 but gave it to Kk to spend on himself

    Returned my dodgy duvet set to homebargains but as I need to get stuff whilst I was in there my shopping only cost me £1.58 instead of £18.57 :T finally got bulbs that I need as at least every room needs a blooming bulb replaced

    So my Halifax statement starts on the 12th of every month and whilst I was logged on I've only just noticed that since the 12th January I've paid £1006 towards this Halifax card :eek::eek::eek::eek: didn't realise it was that much I'm genuinely shocked not sure if I'll manage to repeat this again this month but I'm sure I've nearly paid off the balance that was incurring interest so soon all my debt will be 0% which will be fab :cool:

    So I'm still aiming to get this card at £2900 by the end of the month and I am hoping to pay off the Argos card next week when college pays me for the two college students kids I look after xx

    No the having much luck with the surveys at the moment pa is pants :rotfl: yougov is slow and opinion post is blah but I'll keep at them xx

    Right off to see what I can make for my dinner xx

    Well last night was eventful.........ended up taking Kk to emergency doctors as he was burning up to the point his face was bright red and cal poly and ibuprofen weren't taking his temp down and his cough was getting worse

    Doctors suspect he has croup I explained all the kids I looked are this week have a snotty nose and a cough so she says there was no point in my not working as they've all got the cold unfortunately Kk gets it worse but he's had his medicine and pleased to say the cough is improved thank goodness and he's eating.

    Plus one of my avon customers was a nurse who just happened to be at the emergency doc so she made sure we were looked after :D

    So you can imagine I never slept last night so I'm shattered but thankfully Kk did sleep

    Sent £8 towards the Halifax under another hundred bracket and only £97 until I'm under the £3k mark :T:T:T determined to get this by next week ;) which would be awesome xx

    Croup is the worst. My boy still gets this and he is 6. He takes after me, I used to get hospitalised when younger with it. Steroid shots help loads with it though. Hope we KK is better soon <3 and docs say I am the "lucky" few who gets adult version aka fire throat and no voice which is rare lol... hope our boys dont get that!

    woo you will defo get under £3k defo
