Nicnax - Sounds like you have settled in quickly hun your doing well with the money making already,how are you findng it?

Hi hun, I'm finding it good so far. Viva definitely seems like the best survey site, I've just hit my first £10 on there. :j Some of the other sites are so frustrating.

kec09 - it must be awful at the moment but I have had friends in the same sort of position - they are men and their wives had left but they have still felt the same way not knowing where they were going to live and how they would pay for two houses. It is more than 9 years on and both are in new relationships and the dark days are a distant memory.

1 just kept selecting dates as markers - if he got to his birthday he would be OK, then if he got to his daughters birthday he would be OK and soon he did not need the markers anymore.

Try to get professional help asap both for the way you feel and to try and limit your liabilites as there will be people out there who will be able to give you proper advice.

claire happy birthday to your ds for tomorrow

I am after a bit of help! my best friend lives in France and for one reason or another we lost touch (mainly due to the fact that my parents moved back to England and we no longer went to France for our holidays) for the last 3 years. I was also miffed that she could have contacted me but didn't but we are both busy and time goes by so fast. I rang her last week and promised to email her and haven't done it yet so I am not much better!! anyway she told me her daughter is 18 in September:eek: i was sure she was only 16! I want to send her something but have no idea what. I don't want to spend alot as I will have to post it to France and it could go missing, I only want something small as again posting to France. I was thinking of something typically English but not sure what if anything would appeal to an 18 year old.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Kec - this may sound desperate but the situation calls for it at the moment. The best thing you can do right now, is call the Samaritans. It's nothing to be ashamed of and have heard it all before, many times over. They are the best people for you now. Heres the number 08457 90 90 90.

They not only have heard your story lots of times, but are trained to give you the best advice, or help you work it out yourself. First thing Monday get yourself to the Citizens Advice Bureau too. You can do this. Pm me your phone number so I can check how you're doing

Bunbun - what's the budget? It would be more helpful if we knew

Not typically English - but Pandora bracelets are a big thing now. The leather ones go for about £40, and would be small enough to post. You could get her a charm for it, for her 21st then.

I haven't really thought about a budget - sorry that's not very helpful is it!
I will look into pandora bracelets. I didn't know you could get leather ones.

I'm so sorry to hear things have become worse kec09, you do need to talk and get some advice, even if it is to offload as Elysia says they are the best people to help, they will be able to help you on your road foward and perhaps help you get things clearer in your mind. Your strong chick,you will pull through this and we are all here for you.

Bunbun, Asos have a wide selection of items which reflect the style and culture of teens in this country, and they ship worldwide (possible even free delivery, you may need to check). The charm bracelet idea is lovely, I have a few brands, Hot Diamonds which I love and Links of London. Both are up there in prestige with pandora but pandora adds beads whilst most others adds charms instead.

Hot diamonds have a 50% off sale, 12.12% topcashback and 10% discount code on the discount boards. I have my eye on a few items but not sure whether to treat myself or not.

Savvy thanks. I have had a look at the hot diamonds website, there are some nice things on there

Kec. Good advice there from the girlies. You have been messed around definitely. This is hard definitely, but this is not the end for you. It is hard to walk away, but if she hadn't been pregnant, he could have been messing you round for months chick.

I do believe what is meant for you, will not pass you by. Same as he is obviously not good enough for you, and does not deserve you, so he will go, and life might be hard initially but you will be ok.

Do what you need this weekend. Like Elysia said, there are the samaritans. I am sure you could pm or email or facebook or msn some of us on here. Please just keep focussed on you and don't do anything silly. Have you anyone you can go and stay with over the weekend?

Please keep posting and let us know how you are. xx

It feels wrong to talk about money making round that. I'm still pottering, but realising how lucky I am and going to be nice to the hubster and kids this weekend to make up for me working so hard this week. 2 reviews done today (38/45) although no surveys tonight. I am still playing bingo and up to 181 gold stars. I was jammy yesterday and won 10 in one of the bigger pots, and keep going with my freebie points all day in the background. I am pretty sure it is not worth it.
