Thankyou for posting this thread pixiechick99
I have worked all morning wiv lady wiv multiple sclerosis as a support worker, feel very glad wiv what we've achieved but also glad for me its the weekend! Heard fom the company I work for that I have a tax rebate coming - happy days except it will all go towards debts rather than treats - hey ho! I ran those debts up in the first place so no point in going into regret mode.
Really glad I'm doing this job, making a difference to people's lives - it certainly takes my mind off the intense depression I felt as a single parent wiv glandular fever.
My husband left me when I got depressed and ran off with the social worker that ran the 'carer' groups he was attending.
You couldn't make it up, could you>

Hi Cloud Cukcoo.
I`m a support worker too and it definately make you feel a sense of acheivement sometimes doesn`t it. Almost makes up for the crap pay and hours!
Keep your chin up, sounds like you are better off without him.

ha ha ha I manage 2 teams of support workers - one in mental health & one in learning disabilities - supported housing. Definately makes you feel fortunate and such a great feeling to help others get their life back on track

Hi folks , my day off today but am working this weekend - late sat/ early sun which is always a killer but just my luck the clocks are going forward. Lets hope its quiet sunday as I will not be up for it

Boiler man has amazingly repaired my ancient heating boiler. Hopefully will last long enough for me to save the 2.5k needed for a new system. Sadly the washer has just flooded the kitchen too and the oven is on its last legs - dont think im going to cuba next year :rotfl:

Today :

• checked banks - been paid and as i was in my authorised od for less than 24hrs i don't think i will pay any interest - first time in years
• went to my appointment in town - went in heels so too uncomfortable to walk round shops after
• printed off greggs voucher for bogof pain au choc - yum
• keeping an eye on ebay - one item has bids watchers on others
• decided not to get a pair of shoes heeled just yet - I have another similar pair that are ok so these can wait
• done a few surveys

still to do :

• more surveys
• comps
• census
• rejig budget to start boosting savings for new boiler
