Hi moneywaster-nomore. Hope things are going ok for you. I've had a mixed week. DS3 needs operation to remove lump (benign) on neck soon. Car failed MOT. Bill for £370! Redundancy rearing it's ugly head again - only rumours at this point - but a nagging worry. On the plus side, a few small competition wins - Guide to San Francisco - will give to DS1 and girlfriend who are visiting USA for a month in September (extreme envy creeping in here!), bottle of perfume - birthday present for DS3's girlfriend, a paperback thriller - oh and a £5 giftcard for A*da. Have planted runner beans and tomato plants
and spent a lot a time and only a few pounds making our rockery look nice. Trying to keep busy and positive, sometimes failing miserably though. Must stop moaning! Sorry !0 -

Back on the wagon. I have had a right bad time. Just soooo feeling sorry for myself at the cuts backs I have had to make. Pathetic I know as it has to be done.
So her I am back again and staying. It all started with paying off my PDL, thought I would be over the moon, it plunged me into a downward spiral, so strange.
I cannot do this without logging in and getting it all down in writing (well typying) got back into a few more scrapes. But no more debt at least. If I am not logging on, I am so weak.

Can't really look for second job - I look after dgd couple of days a week.
I am just catching up with your diary, but if you got through the hoops to qualify as a child minder with the council, then you can claim the free hours money even if you are a relative. Alternatively, maybe you have to come clean to your child and say I am sorry but I need to work more hours, (she may stump up some money).
Horrible I know, but you need to be honest

MWNM I too need the discipline of writing on here to keep me on the straight and narrow. Well done on sorting the payday loan, and the council tax. That is an great achievement. And well done on MR getting another small job, that is also something to be proud of.I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
