    Thanks hypno - I think I needed a day like today to remind me of the priorities - they aren't ok, but my own immediate family and then once that is sorted - watch out world here I come! I watched a really upsetting programme on BBC four about bulgaria's forgotten children and it made me question lot of things so now I am even more determine to sort my stuff and get on with the important stuff in life!

    I want to take my kids to see stuff that they can DO something about if they are not in debt etc and also that we can do stuff in our community that makes a difference if we're not always concerned with what i the best DFW/MSE way.

    I'm rambling now.

    Ah good - just checking what I wrote in drink fueled rants last night and so far I wasn't too bad lol! Woke up this morning with a headache to rival no other, then wondered why my room looked like it'd been trashed - I think I was staggering somewhat - and then I realised I'd been on here til quite late and was dreading what I'd been writing :D

    Afternoon Sea...have you got a hangover?....glad you had a great day...I'm back to work end of this month so am a bit nervous and will probably take me a while to get into it...as for JJ I will have to wait until next year to take him on Beaver Creek as I had a look around it and he's too small for the rides yet...but will be up for it next year and I don't have any tesco vouchers but am thinking of filling up there..so should earn some....

    Sounds like a good plan - at least the rain might have stopped by spring time! :D

    Hi all

    Well feeling a little frustrated in my quest to become debt free- I'm working every evening it seems and when not doing school work am sorting the kids, cleaning, washing - you know the type of thing. I'm hoping that things will even out and I get used to working full time at school again. I jus feel tired (getting drunk at the weekend din't help!) and don't seem to be able to do much MSE stuff. I am still doing my clicks and surveys, so that's something, but ebay has stopped completely and other money making schemes have been put on hold. My spending on silly things seems to have increased, although I've put the brakes on that now and am only spending on lunch (90p) a day if I can. Done full menu plan as well as we've got very little money left for the month now.

    Feeling quite despondent, but I hope that once I catch up on sleep I will feel better. Also hoping that I stop stuffing my face with junk food! Or at least, stuff that I don't need.

    Hope all are well.

    Hope the fact that your green light is off means that you are having an early night and catching up on some of that sleep you need x

    Things will settle down again soon and you will get yourself into a workable routine!
