Opinion outpost is similar (£2.50 cash out for amazon or paypal) and seems very similar to OW. Maybe worth a try?
Well done on the VOx

Morning.
Well my mother showed her true colours again (not surprised) She actually got in a foul mood last night as when I phoned her during my sons class of tkd that I gave a 12 year old in his class who gets a taxi with her pocket money a lift to help her out. She went mental cos I dont give her lifts offering to anyway and when I do i go in a huff (bare in mind shes a nightmare and wants me to go out my way and drive through town the one thing I avoid like plague - those in Glasgow know what I mean with one ways and everything!) I was like !!!!!! kicking off cos a 12 year old. Making out how shes always there for me n my "schemey" friends are scum..... Now one I went through a terrible time a few years ago and noone was there for me, I went through an awful time in a hospital on my own but whatever. I dropped my son off this morning to my dad and as soon as he was in the door slammed door in my face and locked the door keeping me out... 57 years old mature eh!!!??? So damn straight this confirms I want nothing from her no deposit nothing, I can do it and WILL do it on my own. Always a catch with her and I cannot wait until I dont need their help with my boy, just stuck right now as I have literally noone to help me. Not self pitty sentence just truth.
Anyway 8 days to payday. Got a busy weekend and then going to quiet for a while. My heads bursting tbh, I am fed up and just want away.
Anyway going to try do some surveys, try cash out first time on outpostxx

I'm sorry to hear that Monz. I know how hard it can be with parents. They don't get any better as they get older either. Look after yourself and your boy. You are managing your life amazingly well and really don't need their help.

Oh how awful
I don't even know what to say! I do know what it's like though me and my mum have been like it for years. Luckily she's been okay recently but I still feel on edge for when it will happen again. Like I have to keep a certain distance between us because before it use to really upset me.
I hope you're okay x0
