    Morning. So annoyed this morning. Last night I seen someone post "when you see people with £600 phones checking their bank if their dole went in".... looking down on people much!? how do they not know if they had a great job and cos "government cuts" lost their job and locked in a contract phone!?

    I think its appalling to laugh at anyone who is not in a better position than you but to mock them?? I know some people use beenfits as a joke... however I worked in a homeless shelter and saw what really happens. Its a disgrace that people look down on those and others mocking them for things little as this... To me its the same as people mocking single mothers like myself saying shes obv on benefits etc, can she name the dad? Sorry if anyone just thinks that quotes funny but I find it offensive.

    Mhairi Black is inspiring watching her last speech on Universal Credit was amazing and also hits the truth that our government is f****d up big time. Sorry for my rant but it just got to me. Even her maiden speech is an eye opener.

    With that me and my mum are going to Aldi tonight buying a bunch of food for food bank... for those with their latest phones eh... sorry just wound up.

    14 days until payday.

    Hope to get my VO to £8.50 xxx

    P.S again sorry for my rant xx

    Ditto!

    And...... as my lovely Mam would have said...... They're born, but they're not dead yet! ie anything could happen to uptip their cosy apple carts, and if not to them to their children or grandchildren.

    Karma has a nasty way of biting people on the bum! Don't let them 'get' to you cos they're just not worth it. XX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    Morning!

    Sorry I have not posted in a few days. My friend messaged me during the week about her having some marital problems, so Saturday got in my car and drove down sheffield to cheer her up :). I have dipped into some savings but this girls like family. we did camp together pre babies and she needed someone there <3

    10 days to payday :(

    Dont think I am putting much in savings this month due to buying the nintendo switch for my boy. I will see though.

    VO is at £13.90 hopefully can cash it out tomorrow xxx

    Thanks Abba. Cashed out £15 amazon voucher for group.

    Now at 90p... unsure what I should cash out with next. Thinking though I have Christmas and maybe get few more clothes vouchers for somewhere or just stick with Boots and treat myself or get friends make up :) xx
