    Don't you do surveys? I got some M&S from valued opinions surveys. I don't do the spuds every week as forget as well. We ought to have weekly reminders, maybe all miss a week and have the same day and the dr can remind us when she does hers.

    No I only do P1necone and no other surveys...as hate being rejected after doing more than half of survey...:o:mad:

    Me mainly concentrate on CB sites and their no spend offers....;)

    Morning all...:)

    no thanks, don't like snow after it hardens into ice and causes accidents.
  • Poor DS aesop hes really not having the best time.

    I too have not managed to grow enough spuds for a voucher yet IS.However had £1 from the credit card and £10 from keeping my leccy with them.Was quite pleased with 2 x CS got the whole xmas dinner and drinkies(and food for the other night) for £61.I think its the least we have spent on xmas dinner in ages!!:j:jI have to say i think M&S have brought their prices down a bit.
    And the best bit is i dont have to do much more on xmas day than shove it in the oven!

    need to clear the cupboard so he can work. I can't be ill, I am woman, and expected to do everything!


    Same here.....:o:o:o:o:o:o Can't take a day off from house chores...so I feel working is better than being a homemaker...at least can get a medical leave and also a great feeling of financial help for our family...;) but these days even hard to get the job...:(

    Take care of DS and YOU TOO xxx

    The problem with my job is if I don't go to work, I don't get paid. And if DS is ill and I take time off, I have to make the hours up to ensure I get paid the full amount for the month. This is difficult when you are in the last week! and he is ill.

    Yesterday he was at nursery for 9 hours! I think that is way to long for a little person, I know he has fun and they play and it is not like school, but they do learn things too. At least my nursery teaches him things.

    But I feel the pressure to be working full time from both DH and work. neither can seem to get their heads around the fact that I am the one who has to pay his nursery fees out of my wages. And I get help, but I still have to pay 30% which is quite a lot of money! Then after that all the rest of my money goes on bills and food. Not much room for luxuries and treats.

    But then DH is a man! lives in a blinkered world where only hears what he wants to hear and sees what he wants to see.
