    Right....I'm done for the Night.....and it's been a real mixture of good and bad....but I think that's fairly normal for the Night Shift...can't have it all good....

    I'm going to get some Sleep for a few hours....then do another couple of hours of Work....and then I'm off out for a few hours this Afternoon/Evening...a Friend is taking me out for Dinner which will be nice....so I'm looking forward to that....

    And then back home to do another Night Shift....

    Feel like I'm finally getting it....finally getting back into the Swing of things....

    And this Week I WILL get my Target....Got too much to pay for next Week for me not to hit my Target....And right now I'm on track to hit it comfortably without having to Work all day on Sunday like I normally have to....I might even get half a day off on Sunday!! :j

    So that's where I am....Catch you all after my Zzzzzzzz's...xXx

    Do you have a rough idea how much you are earning?
    Must use my stash up!

    Hi Helen :)

    Sorry not been around for a while - am taking over a new job which has added 4 hours commuting to an already long day so haven't had time for much of anything!

    Sorry to hear you've been ill x

    Woohoo ! Positive posting Helen ! Enjoy your dinner out, always lovely to be treated :)
    Im feeling a bit carp today, Had to go to the dentist yesterday thinking id get the sore tooth out, and he ended up taking out TWO ... So feel like Ive gone several rounds with Henry Cooper today. Will survive on painkillers tho, but wont be having crisps for a day or two ! :P Absolute bargain at £19 for an hour & a half in a dental chair tho !

    Morning Hun....Sorry to hear that you had to have teeth out...I know how that feels and it's NOT nice....so take it easy and be kind to yourself.

    Was LOVELY to go out last night....but halfway through I started developing a Cold....It just feels like it's not fair, I wasn't well last week and now am not well again!! I think part of it is hayfever as well though....So I couldn't work last night but will be working today to make up for it....Just hope that the Callers don't mind a husky voice...LoL

    Yep, we are lucky because we have an Online thing which tells us how much we earn every minute that we are logged on...which is great....so I usually check every hour when I'm logged on and then check at the end of a Shift so I can keep a check on it throughout the Week...

    Thanks hun....and don't worry that you're not around much....I hope your new Job is going really really well....take it easy as much as you can....and just pop in whenever you get the chance.

    Right....Now I've managed a bit of sleep I'm going to have something to eat and then get my backside in gear and do some Work....Just hope I don't have a sneezing fit when I'm on the Phones....that's definitely NOT sexy!! :D

    So, another day, another pile of fish ....... sorry ... Carp . Last night was a beautiful evening, I spent most of it pootling around the farm on the quad bike, the dog sitting up on the petrol tank in front of me. Today I look like I have measles ... yup, the midges have arrived !

    Today I am officially debt free (well apart from that mortgage, and I dont really count that as a debt) The last payment for the car loan has gone out ! woohoo, I can stop worrying that the bank manager will ring me up and demand a shottie in "our" car ! Its mine now, all mine I tell you !

    Hope you have a good day and the snizzes dont overcome your passions ;) xx
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    Sorry to hear you are under the weather again Helen (I think it could be hayfever though - the pollen count is horrid here :( )

    Hi Helen, as Mara says, chew on the old anti-histamines and go for it. It would be nice to get most of Sunday off - and apparently the forcast is 'hot' for London. Yahhhhh. Just focus on that lovely thought to get you through tonight!
    :money:

    I can't take anti-histimines as they react badly with the Medication that I'm on....but I AM starting to feel a little better....I think it's a mixture of Hayfever and a Cold....not much fun but I've just got to suck it up and work through it....

    I'll be logging on at 8pm for the Night Shift....
