    Morning

    £5 Mcains voucher arrived at some point during the week :D Final item sold last weekend has paid so I will post today and update once i have deducted fees.

    Ebay stuff that is on isnt attracting much attention but one item has a 99p bid and a few have a very small amount of watchers. Not expecting much from this batch. Oh well every peeny counts right :p

    Nat - he sounds like a complete nightmare!! Spoilt little brat. Hope it gets better or you get rid

    Just popped on to say, those who have been following this thread for a while and remember Mrs 3Dogs and Mr 3 Dogs, who were on this thread as they were going on the Orient Express and needed to get all the items for the trip, suit, shoes, dress, etc. Well they did it thanks to this challenge and had a fab time.

    I am sorry to say Mr 3Dogs died yesterday after a short battle with Cancer.

    I would like to toast the memory of Mr 3Dogs :beer: and to say I would not have met such a wonderful man, and such an :A Mrs 3Dogs, if it had not been for this thread.

    RIP Mr 3Dogs :beer::A

    RIP Mr3Dogs... So sad. My thoughts are with Mrs3Dogs.

    Today I feel like giving up on life completely. Every time I try and better my life I get stopped in my tracks, like I'm not supposed to be anything bigger and better than what I am.

    I was thrown off my law degree because I really struggled with child care, the lecturer didn't like that I had to leave 20 mins early every lecture to collect my son. That was the end of that. Then I try a cupcake business, do really well but then everyone jumps on the bandwagon and people want you to do the impossible for minimal amounts. I was dragged down by 'customers' and hated a job I once loved. Then I decide to do something I've always knew I would do, fostering. And we all know how that ended. Now I'm back with students trying to get some money behind me. But tonight it's gone horribly wrong, my student decides to mess in the toilet, flush it so much it blocks and overflows, doesn't bother to tell me and leaves it for my 2year old to find. She found it by slipping over in the soiled water from the overflowed toilet and I find her covered in sh@t crying. I blew my lid at him, it was the last straw. I unblock the toilet and make him clean it. He rings his mother and teacher who call me and say how disgraceful I have been to make a child clean a toilet, I have damaged his honour! His teacher says she will take this further and tell social services. They hate me so that's the end of this venture. I want to run away and never come back. Feeling sorry for myself I know but I'm all out of fight and don't know what to do anymore. I've got nothing left in the tank :(

    Oh Nat, you are having such a rough time : ( I honestly don't see the problem with making him clean the toilet, I was asked to clean the bathroom or kitchen on a monthly basis when I was young so I would know the effort of cleaning. The teacher has probably gotten an over the top account of the consequences or just everything.
    I hope you have a better day tomorrow.
    *hugs*

    No money today, actually I probably did a silly thing. I helped to pay for the food shop today with a mixture of luncheon vouchers and love to shop, the girl at the counter thought my luncheon voucher book cover thing was a voucher itself and I corrected her. I just hate the thought of causing someone to get into trouble at work when they don't deserve it. >.< So really I'm negative 3 today.
