    Hope your mum is back to full health soon :)

    I keep telling my mum she has no worries about falling, she has a glare that would melt frost ;) but we do all have to look out for each other in this weather!

    Glad you had a fun day with your daughter and I think it's ace that you and her mum can be friends - I have an ex that is like my brother!

    Take care!

  • Aww Thanks guys i really do appreciate positive comments and feedback It helps me on my debt free journey and also been a carer in and out of work things can be a little stressful but i believe however hard things get in life there is a way out and it can be sorted so things really arent that bad and i just look at what i have gained through the day however small or big i am truly thankful for everything.
    In the past i suffered with very bad bullying and Depression, with stress i have ten principles that helps me beat it

    Well today started from 7am starting work at 8am on a 12 hour shift i have really had a lovely day i have signed up for 2 courses and currently on studying another course aswell so i am going to be quite busy on that front my dinner and based on weight watchers chicken curry and chicken hotpot, i was so impressed with myself i was asked to do a food run for the staff breaks to Mcdonalds its been a big problem in the past me buying things there but i resisted temptation i bought nothing i guess it was my good deed for the day Anyway 8pm came it was lovely to get back home to see mum, as a family we are all so close i have so much love and respect for mum and dad they have had their tears in the past i lost my brother and sister at a young age and to see how my parents supported each other and came through it me, i will always support them with everything they do xx My plans to do ebay tonight have been shelved i am tired, it can wait since starting my debt journey i have saved in the region of 6 hundred pound which i am delighted about by generally watching my money how i spend it a little bit of overtime and the help and support from family For me the problem seems to be time management i have lots of good ideas but the situation with been a carer for my parents providing good family time for my daughter on a weekend and working long hours i just sometimes feel i cannot fulfil what i want i will get there though the best feeling in the world today is having a non spend day awesome i am well happy, well i am back to work tomorrow and then its daughter time yay bring it on for a fun weekend ahead. Good night everyone hope your days been good to you x
