Thanks HI.
i think i am looking at the nanny coming into my home whilst i am at work, then going home once i get in. Kind of like a childminder that comes to my house IYSWIM?
Got to find a job first though, LOL!

Have listed another 10 things on ebay this morning. Most of them are kids books, as my son has loads of ones he is growing out of, and is more into 'Beast Quest' than 'Winnie the Witch'.

I have had a lovely bubble bath this morning, and my younest son (8) has had one too...now just got to convince my 12 yr old to have a bath. I swear he has no interest in staying clean and hygenic!

Belated birthday wishes :bdaycake:

I'm on a similar journey to make changes in my life. Quite a lot of debt , overspending and uncertain future and dealing with a bug at present too !

I had a big push on selling on eBay last year and made enough money to buy much needed new oven , bed and mattresss :j So far this year I've been able to put £300 towards debts. The house feels better too with less clutter.

Good luck with the child care. Glad I don't have that problem anymore.

hi Picasso, thanks for the belated b'day wishes.

Wow at you ebay sales last year! Thats a serious amount, well done! I agree, my house feels better with much less clutter too. The house is small enough as it is.

Morning!
Today i need to hoover and clean the whole house. I am not going to do it quickly, i am going to potter about and do it slowly as i am not feeling well. I have a runny nose, sore throat and headache.

I am going to try and resist spending any money, as i dont need anything.

I am going to try and snuggle up on the sofa and watch a DVD, with my duvet and hot water bottle.

Hi HI.
yes, i did EVENTUALLY get off the laptop, LOL!!
But only to hoover and veg out watching a DVD

My son (12) has made us pizza for dinner tonight. I am determined to teach him how to cook from scratch by the time he leaves home, so i am teaching him.
Its a hard long process...i am such a control freak in the kitchen (comes from being a single parent for so long i think!), so i need to let him be creative in the kitchen.
Tomorrows dinner is gammon, egg and chips, so it'll be fun to teach him how to cut potatoes into chip shapes!

Its supposed to be quite a wet day tomorrow.

I am planning on going out delivering my flyers for my new business..i hope its not too wet!
I have a careers meeting at the jobcentre tomorrow as well, so i need to take £10 out of the bank to pay for petrol to get there (its an 18mile round trip)..and will also go shopping whilst in that town, to save petrol money

Am off to have a nice bath and early night

Hi all

Didnt get to deliver my flyers today, as its been too wet. But i had to go to my appointment at the jobcentre until 11am, then i went to collect some xbox games from a lady who was selling them on FB (my sons xmas pressies sorted now).
Then i picked up some empty choccie tins from another lady, to keep my cakes in

Also got my sons haircut, but was only charged £3 instead of £7, as he only wanted a teeny bit chopped off.

I have fallen off the MSE wagon a bit over the last few days, as its my TOTM and i have been going to tesc0 to get chocolate, and leave having spent £20! Not good!!

I got my Lidl leaflet through the door today, so i will write my meal plan for tomorrow- i always base me meals on the XXL offers, and other offers in the lidl leaflet. Looks like its pork loin and turkey next week!

STILL feeling ill, not helped by being out and about today in the rain, i think i need a relaxing day at home!
