    I think you’ll need that gym slot to let go of the day. Looks like a grab and go food day is on the cards for you. Hope tomorrow is an easier day for you.

    Still hear actually getting wrapped up in surveys 

    so far this month I have £47.03 in Qmee and I have £16.94 confirmed on PA with £9.63 pending so I’ve made £73.60 in surveys which is going towards my lounge fees in august when we leave from Manchester airport to Florida………it’ll feel even better knowing it was free.  Aiming to hit £80 by Sunday. 

    Need to open a savings account and just label it survey money.  I have a account for holidays but that’s where I put money for paying for the holiday don’t want the survey money getting swallowed up if that makes sense so that it’s definitely paying for the things I want to book as treats for before we head off xx

    Well I was awake for 32 hours from Friday morning at 7am

    worked til 5pm

    done my Friday tidy 

    met up with the girlfriends for a late galentines night out 

    pregnant friend phoned me when she went to the toilet to tell me she was bleeding 

    rushed her straight to hospital 

    Baby was born at 32week she’s doing great by the way but no one was organised

    went back to hers dug out tiny baby clothes brought them home washed them got them on the surer as well as some things for mummy 

    crashed out on couch for 2 hours then back up to the hospital 

    all whilst dealing with her very jealous sister who was paralytic i might add on the night but now hates me because I was the birthing partner.  Was asked weeks ago to be her birthing  partner so made the conscious decision not to drink til baby was here.

    what a nasty peace of work she turned out to be xx

  • Wow, what a weekend! Glad all is well with the baby. That must have been scary.

    People can be so strange. I’d just be grateful the baby was fine x
