Oooooooh do you think you're about to be a Nana? That would be amazing? At least I think it would be.....Maybe they are getting married? Who knows....anyway...I hope it's good news for you hun....I'm sure it will be....
Well Done for your earnings so far....that's great....and I hope you have a FABULOUS Evening off....
I'm having Wednesday Evening off to have some fun....And some Downtime to make me feel like I'm not working ridiculous hours for nothing....Eventually I might get a whole day off but right now that's impossible....so that's okay....And I can live with that for the next couple of months until such time as I CAN take a day off once per week....I'll get there....Once the Debts have been significantly reduced and I'm paying back each Week consistently...0 -
Okay, so I'm only up to £10 so far this Afternoon...so I'm DEFINITELY not going to get anywhere close to £50....But hey, it was a nice dream....
Now I'm just going to go for whatever I can get....and I'll be happy with that....
As I said, I CAN tweak my Budget without too many problems so I'm not overly worried...Just going to stick to my Hours and see what I can get....0 -

It is FAR too early in the week to be worrying about tweaking budgets! That's like admitting defeat and its only Monday afternoon.
What you should be saying is £10 is not what i wanted but i have the rest of the week to make up for it.Sealed Pot Challenge member #071 VSP #4

it took me 3 months of working every day and all the hours I could to get back on an even keel, you know enough to pay the bills and the debts plus a little bit over for treats, after my life went t*ts up, and yes it was rubbish putting in all those hours but it got me back into the routine of treating it like a job and I enjoy my time off even more now. now I take a full day off each week and please myself what I do with it - could be having a lie in and a PJ day or going out and doing something just for me but its my day and makes me feel like ive got something to work towards.
have a productive afternoon
