    You have done well with your coupons. Am the same as Bevally, can never seem to find any.

    No money making as yet but house is all straight and just put the baby down for her nap so am going to get started now.

    Want to catch up on some comping as well, while it's quiet. Do you guys ever do any comping?

    Tibawo Hugs - Sounds like my day.

    Car failed MOT, other car has 2 slow leaks and needs 2 new tyres, chipped bathroom sink with a perfume bottle, solicitors insisting I pay £75 for a boiler service before they will complete on property, ran out of gas credit so cold showers and no heat until OH gets paid, OH found out he didnt get a job he applied for and little one had the most horrendous tantrum..................................if anyone needs me I will be drowning myself in a bucket of wine!

    Sorry to hear everyone is having a bad time, I too don't feel i'm having a great time i'm sick of the place I work in I carry people who cannot be bothered to work and night shift blatantly lie to us. This morning they got a man called James up and dressed but didn't bother to wash him, they told us when we came on shift he just needed breakfast and it was only about an hour later he told us he hadn't had a wash so he had to be undressed washed and creams applied - they are a disgrace and I have simply had enough.

    Also am realising I am spending so much time trying to make money for my kids that I am not spending enough time with them and everything ends up being rushed so must rectify that evben if it does mean less money.

    Have managed to redeem on sp tonight and have found a £££ on c which I am first rating on so happy with that, sb got just over 200 points to go for next redeem alrthough ebay not going well don't think much if anything is gonna sell so gonna try facebook.

    Hi all, made my £50 eb target with a few days to spare, have sold 4 more items on fb today so totals for the month about £200, really chuffed with that!
    Still got to sort out my books and stuff and have a mountain of items for listing, but I don't get a free weekend very often so am going to have some proper time with the kids, I know exactly what you mean Emma, my ds said he doesn't want to go to school anymore he wants to stay home with me. He's going through a phase of telling me he hates me all the time, and I told him tonight how much that hurts my heart, he's only 7, but he said he doesn't mean it, he is just sad he doesn't get to spend lots of time with me :-(
    I think sometimes we are so busy trying to make the money to look after them that we forget what is really important. I'm going to sod everything this weekend and just spend time with my two so I may be AWOL for a couple of days on here xx
    Hope Elysia us ok, haven't seen her post for a while?

    Just a quick hello guys, I have worked very late the last 2 days, so manic at work I'm doing about 3 peoples jobs just a shame I am not getting 3 peoples pay!!

    Got quite a few watchers on my relisted eb stuff but no bids yet, fingers crossed for bids later in the week.

    Hope everyone is well and moneysaving, I'm afraid I'm going to sleep soon I'm that tired so no money making for me today x

    Hope your managing to get your feet up inbetween times, thats typical, be nice if you got the 3 peoples pay!!

    I'm in same boat with you, got 27 things listed on ebay, and 20 have watchers, but as miss Hoodie says its not watchers we want its buyers!! xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
