    LEGEND LIVES ON!!! Thanks so much ladies nice to see I have been missed! I have been reading but not posting been too busy!

    OH's brother came over from Ireland Monday and so I have had to go and do the family thing and then he decided to stay here for 2 nights! Grrrr! Mum has also given me her old bed, well its pretty new but she got a newer one, so I had to dismantle and tidy my bedroom for the royal visit this morning! Mum and Stepdad set up the new bed and took DS home with them so I could sort some stuff! I rearranged all furniture in bedroom, emptied bathroom and cleaned it, emptied shed and re sorted! Uch some beasties in there! Then painted 2 of my kitchen walls! Cream is no good with DS and OH! Washing machine just stopped working mid cycle today so my £55 saved for holiday will be spent trying to get some1 to repair it! Not having the best of times! And a load of bils due so skint!
    Plus spoke to Mum and DS playing up big style he went to bite her and spat at her! He has never spat in his life! I feel ashamed and really bad that I offered to go get him! First time my Mum has had him overnight since August and I have a feeling it will be the last!

    On the survey side it has been quite quiet but as so busy I have been clicking through to find quota filled! So need to kickstart that tomorrow!

    So sorry its a long one! Love to all! Especially Susan! Get well soon hun xxx

    Just flying by, hope everyone is ok, things not great at the mo and haven't had the energy to post.

    OH car broke again, had to borrow £500 from his dad to pay for it this time. Still not got much money in, owed 1000's :(

    I am just sick with worry of it all, its getting towards the end of the month and bill time again and I still don't have last months and I have worked so hard to get extra money to pay off my CC but have had to use it for bills.

    Work is rubbish and horrible too I almost walked away never to return on Tuesday but dragged myself yesterday.

    Haven't done any surveys or anything these last few days just been so :( Checked me T points a min ago just to see if I can redeem now but still have 5 outstanding and need 6000 more.

    Another bad migraine tonight as well so off to try and sleep now, night all x

I am just not appreciated! lol! I dismantled bed and carried downstairs all by myself last night and I took the bins out so tonight I am thinking why on earth I need a man! May head off to bed now and looking forward to a good nights sleep in my new bed with no intruders climbing in in the small hours! I am talking about DS girls not any other type of intruders! lol

    :-( aww so sorry u are worried, life really is hard sometimes. I hope u get some relief from ur migrane, not surprising if u have all that to worry about. Is there any way u can get some help or advice ? Especially if u are making urself poorly or at risk of making urself ill. Stress is a huge thing to deal with , esp financial there may be a way of relieving the pressure, a local charity/ church or free advice,,just so u dont have to fork out so much each month if u havent got last months,,there could be some way of getting round it?? I have no idea if there is but it may be worth trying to find out,,,,please ignore me if I am not helping, just really feel for u. Take care xx

    Legend mum is your DS very little, sorry don't know how old he is but little ones do go through baiting phase. Don't feel ashamed.

    Ebay NON payer I looked at his feedback, and he bought the same item off of someone else, so he had NO intention of paying. I think this is out of order. Am I not allowed to leave negative feedback on non payers????? Sorry Im absolutely raging, he clearly had NO intention of paying for it!!!

    Circumstances like that, we should be allowed to leave neg, but its the pleasure of leaving posititve or nowt, - yet the sellers hold the power even when there in the wrong. Just opened a non-paying bidder for ebay buyer, ok they won on Sunday, i've sent 2 invoices _ not replied once, - just so frustrating x
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Its not right! as a seller you should be able to leave negative feedback, if a buyer does not pay! so not fair :mad:

    Kec, really sorry you are going through it all just now, I have been through all of it, and was so ill with it all. I would urge your partner to seek advice see if you can get help. **hugs**

    Legend - my friends wee boy is going through a biting and spitting stage....... nothing to do with how he is brought up, just a phase, so dont feel ashameed. **hugs*

    Hope you are all well.

  • Ah Legend I'm glad you're OK (ish). OHs son went through a phase of biting. It's like he almost didn't know what else to do as he was so frustraised he couldn't beat his Dad so a bite was the only way he could get over it. I don't think he would ever bite again though, OH has a little temper when it comes to violence like that... He can be a bit shouty.

    Kec migraines are rubbish, we have tablets from over the counter, the pink pills and the yellow pills, they sort us right out. Hope you're feeling better this morning.
