Thanks hun....

I've got a Guy on the at the moment and he's been on for about 35 Minutes so far....So that's a GREAT start to the Afternoon....I'm already on nearly a fiver....Which is not bad in 45 minutes on a Daytime Shift....

So let's hope it continues in this way for the rest of the Afternoon....

How are you today hun? Anymore Playdates this Afternoon? Do you Work as well hun? Sorry for all of the Questions....

PestoPasta

Hi Helen, no problem about the questions. I do work as well, but I am self-employed so I can fit my schedule around the kids which is great. I know that I am really lucky as it saves a fortune on childcare!!!

Yes, another day, another playdate! School finishes next week and so we are on the final homestraight. It is soooo busy this time of year in schools. It seems that there is a school event every other day. And of course, you are expected to attend EVERYTHING....

Hope your afternoon continues to be busy busy busy.

DreamerHelen

Well Playdates sound like fun Pesto hun....So I hope you have fun this Afternoon....Sounds like the School keeps you pretty busy!! I guess they have Sports Day and things like that around this time of the Year...

Seems "steady" this Afternoon rather than "busy"....but steady is good....

I've earned just over £7 at the moment....So I'm getting there slowly....Another 3 hours before I can Log Off and enjoy my Downtime....

I haven't fed the Ducks since I was a kid....so it will be really nice to be able to do that tonight....Hopefully it will be nice and cool by then....

DreamerHelen

So far I'm up to £12 this Afternoon....So about £6 per hour...just under....

Still feeling positive - I CAN do this...no, I AM doing this...and it feels GREAT...knowing that I will have the money to pay for things this Week when I get paid tomorrow....knowing that I will be able to afford to pay things NEXT Week....It just feels fantastic...rather than thinking "Well I'll shuffle that and pay that later and not pay that"...I'm thinking instead "I can pay that tomorrow and then that will be gone"....It's a FABULOUS feeling....

Again, I haven't been perfect this Week with being ill on Monday Night....but guess what, I'm NOT perfect...there WILL be glitches along the way...the main thing is that right now I'm genuinely doing my best whereas before I think I was fooling myself into believing that I was doing my best....£61 for the Week is NOT my best!!

Even a Friend of mine was shocked when I said I had only been Working a maximum of about 25 hours per week...she told me she thought I had been Working more than that...so clearly I'm good at fooling other people too!! I feel ashamed of that....But at least I am being completely honest with myself now....

And it feels great...

Just wanted to share that with you Guys....

PestoPasta

Hey Helen. Good going at nearly £6 per hour in the daytime. Hopefully it keeps up.

I have to say I cannot believe how you have moved things on in the last week or so... I have been reading your diary for a few months and nothing was changing. And now, well WOW Helen!

Thank You hun for those words....

I just don't know what changed....All I can is that I must have been at my lowest point and it was like I couldn't get any lower....and at that point it made me see things more clearly...

Now, things are still NOT perfect....but they are MUCH MUCH MUCH better than they were....and I am finally being honest with myself which is so important....

Well I would like to get up to £180 for the Week so far before 5pm....I'm currently at nearly £177 so only a few pounds to go....If I don't get it before 5pm then I will log off to set up the Text Chat with my Manager (she is calling at 5.15pm) and then I shall log back on to get those extra few pennies before taking the Evening off....

Really really really looking forward to having some time off, it will be really nice to have some Downtime....

Woohoo ! Almost £180 is brilliant considering the nawty boys are all suffering from heatstroke !
You enjoy your evening off, relax with the duckies, enjoy the sunshine, and your picnic.
I have a couple of days off work now, have to pop into hospital on friday for the same procedure you had last year .... how undignified, So tomorrow will be spent at home drinking yukky stuff and not moving very far !
Ill probably spend all day on the sofa with the i-pad ! lol, Ill be keeping an eye on ya. Catch ya later x

Helen, you have had this diary since 08-08-2011 and out of the 61 pages 45 of them are from this year and 19 just from this month alone.

You are no longer hiding away making excuses. Your diary is getting more posts and that shows you are on every day, working every day, keeping everything in the open and accepting advice.

It really shows just how far you have come. (either that or all the people that now follow your thread don't know how to shut up )

Thanks hun....Yeah, I'm quite pleased with £180 although I wish it were a little more....but can't be greedy....

Aww hun....I'm sorry to hear you have to that "that procedure"....And I know that tomorrow won't be very nice when you have drink the yukky stuff....but it will go quickly....and then it will all be over....And maybe they will find out what is wrong....

Tomorrow won't be a very exciting day on here I'm afraid as I'll be finishing Work at 8am and then sleeping and then I have my Placement in the Afternoon....so won't be back Online until 8pm....But feel free to Post in here as often as you like hun....

Nearly finished for the Afternoon.... :T
