I know I know! It's me!!

Thank goodness it's Thursday tomorrow, last day of the week in work.. have a bit to do at home Friday and need to get new water bottles that don't leak all over the School bags!

We are down to just over £100 in the bank account, I need payday.. one more day to go!

First 2 days of school this week and DS1 lost 2 jumpers, 2 pairs of gloves, 1 water bottle, his reading diary and his glasses case!

Thankfully one set of wages went in = phew!!

I'm going into work tomorrow to get some stuff done and do some coursework as it's easier there.. so no easy Friday for me.

Done a survey on p-base tonight for 80p and 10 points on Ips0s.. the one on p-base is a multiple partner and I should get £7.50 at the end which will be good!! Up to £30 on y0ugov and £7.20 on p-base..

Fire alarm battery decided to die in the night, so we had that beep, beep (get out of bed and remove the battery annoying noise) - replaced this morning, but disrupted nights sleep and the blinking cat decided to party the night away and not come home before we went to bed, so i didn't sleep till he did as I was convinced the poor sod was freezing somewhere.. when he turned up, he was toasty so had obviously been in someone's house..

This month is looking so tight..

Ali-OK

If it's not the kids disrupting your night....

Survey £s mounting up nicely there.

Yay to payday :beer:!!

Have you tried the sistema water bottles where the spout like twists out? Weve had 4 of these and they have never leaked xx

We had the sistema ones, but i took the cap apart after seeing stuff online about dirt and then couldn't get them back together. tried to get those again and they only had blue and DD wouldn't accept blue! But need to get another two of those!

Mortgage update day! Balance is 108,365.27 with £334 OP'd today and £696.62 OP'd so far this year.. such is the tightness of our money this month, my only aim is to make that figure over £700..

I've given up trying to calculate daily interest, I get such random figures, so I'm just going to track the monthly interest (which I know should easily be divided by days) - but it's a £10 difference each day this month so I am doing something wrong!

LTV and term remaining hasn't updated, so I'll check again in a few days.

£1 survey bagged this morning from the academic survey site and £5 Am@zon requested from p-cone as a survey credited there..

About 30p on another site last night, I like them as they are a minute or two and the pennies just build up slowly with fairly little output from me..

Right Friday-- let's do it.. need to get us all dressed and ready to leave in 40 mins!

Bumper survey day, 400 points nabbed on ips0s, Over £28 now on 1poll, and another gained on academic website.

I am absolutely zonked tonight, worked non stop to try and get my coursework finished and I'm about 2/3 of the way through, so will probably need another day at it next week..

Littles school is frustrating me again, anyone else not enjoying the whole school experience? I just feel they are really negative.. DS keeps getting time outs, and I totally agree bad behaviour should not go unchecked, but he needs his playtime to release energy.. I'm only hearing about it as well as he is telling me, not the School..

and then DD who is good, never have to speak to her about behaviour (at school).. they do an award for a few in each class each week and when they joined the Head said it was about achievement, but they also ensure that all get it a few times each year. DS got one for the fourth time today, she has had one the first week she joined in September. Now in a way I don't care whether they get these after she told me that, but it doesn't seem very fair that she hasn't had one in nearly 6 mths now. He didn't even tell me he got it showing how much the kids rate them, but she looks down when he gets one.. and it's hard to make a fuss of him getting it whilst making her feel it's not that important..

Sorry, off my soapbox now.. it's Parents Evenings soon, so I think I will raise it with their teacher..

Evening DF0D,

Oohhhh i had seen anything about dirt or that you should take the lids apart, I usually soak them in boiling water!!! My DD's currently have green bottles, never managed to get pink or purple ha! Mind you my 2 probably prefer green or blue :rotfl:

Re the school sorry to hear you're getting frustrated again. I too am frustrated but with other sly children rather than school. Although if school don't deal with it next week then I may well have an issue.
You know I was saying at work today, I used to think that when my 2 were at school things would be much easier (which they are in terms of work etc) however sometimes I hate that I'm not in control and wish them back toddlers again.

Anyway it is now the weekend and we can chill with our babies at home where we are in control xx
