Morning....Not feeling any better I'm afraid....I have spent the Night alternately retching, throwing up and sleeping....

So I think you're right Mara....no Treat Money for me this Week!!

I'm just about to Log On for a couple of hours and I'll break at 11am for a QUICK break to try and eat some cereal....Not sure if I will keep it down but I'll try....

I just feel AWFUL....Think I might have a virus or something....But I've just GOT to try and keep Working....

So, a couple of hours first....and then see where I'm at....If need be I'll go to my Doctor's....if it doesn't get any better...

You'd be better going to bed bad sleeping and getting better and working tonight if you are up to it.

You are on a small wage during the day and 8 hours rest today "may" make the difference between being able to work tonight when the phones are busier and you earn more.


You need to rest or you will keep making yourself ill. As I said before you are better just doing night shifts and having a proper rest - stop working in the day and concentrate on the more lucrative evenings


Keep drinking, flat cola or lemonade would be good, when you feel like eating, dry toast or scrambled egg. Hope you feel better soon.

DreamerHelen

Thanks Dawny....I appreciate the advice hun.....

I think I'll do light hours today and have plenty of rest during the Afternoon and then concentrate mainly on tonight's hours....

I've got some flat Dr Pepper so I'm carefully drinking that...Not too fast...just slowly...hoping it will stay down....

I know I've got to concentrate more on the Evening Hours so i will do that....

Hello miss Helen, life has been pretty hectic just recently so I'm sorry I've not been around but i have just caught up with everything happening with you. I'm sorry to hear about your granddad. I'm sure everything will get sorted one way or another. I wouldn't want any of my family in a nursing home either, i do think people tend to go down hill when they don't have to care for themselves. Well done on getting so close to your target though, even with everything going on.

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling poorly.

dawnybabes - i know you're trying to help but Helen needs around £500 a week to pay off her bills. There is no way she can earn that working only the night shift.

Speaking of £500 a week, are you putting enough away to cover your tax, national insurance and employers NI (if you need to pay it)? Last time i earned £509.49 Gross i had to pay £52 tax, £35.05 National Insurance and £40.44 Employers NI Leaving me with £382. I'm guessing yours will be a little less as you haven't earned too much this year so far.

Hey Crimson Addict hun....Thank you for popping in, I know things haven't been great for you...I was so sorry to hear about your special little dog....

Yes, I'm starting to save for Tax in September - I won't have to pay anything in January 2014 as I've done my 12/13 Tax and there is nothing to Pay. But I WILL have to pay something in January 2015 for my 13/14 Tax Year if I carry on earning what I'm earning now.

I don't know about Employers Tax....But I don't employ anybody so I don't know about that.

National Insurance I'm paying Monthly starting from September, just got to send the Paperwork in....And I'll be paying the Back Pay in August to get me up to date....

Things have been a bit tough, especially with what is happening with Grandad....but we'll get through it as a Family....

Right now though I feel like I dont' have anything to look forward to....it's VERY difficult....I have "The Show" to look forward to in October but that's over 2 and a half months away....I just need to figure out if there is anything to look forward to before then....

I'm taking a couple of hours to relax this Afternoon...but I'll be logging in at 1pm for a few hours...and then do the Night Shift...

I've had some Cereal and it's stayed down...which is good....Am feeling slightly better....so let's hope it stays that way!!

I also have an Essay that needs writing for my Course before September....so that's also on my Mind.

So, lot's going on right now....Just got to keep it all together....
