    Well that's a total earning from surveys and cashback of 425.04 its probably nearer 500 but I had a blip where I wasn't well. Today I paid 4 quid of my smallest debt which is now down to 148 pounds, with my YouGov payout I am going to make a big payout off it.

    Well that's me slightly richer or I should be tomorrow, I have dropped another £2.50 from opinion outpost and £6.80 from prolific. I am determined to get my current account above 100 quid and try and keep it that way I am sick of skrimping and saving.

    I still have 50quid due in off YouGov. And a fiver due in off Virgin east coast or Lner or whatever they are now called.

    Smallest debt is at 146.90.

    I am back to work tonight but I am absolutely dreading it, my meds are making me really drowsey and I am sleeping way too much ie 12 hours last night. I had set 5 alarms on my phone and I slept through them all.

    Oh Scott I'm sorry you aren't feeling great. All sounds a bit up in the air but am glad you are there for your OH through it.

    Please don't feel like you are a failure - you are not AT ALL. You're mental health comes first and if you aren't up to it, you aren't up to it. I too dread the sick call - the TL's at my work always cross examine, even if it's sensitive and you want to discuss with your own TL. There's been times I've been crying on the floor in the bathroom trying to get it together to call in sick. My thoughts are with you and hope things will start to head in a positive direction soon enough.

    Glad you're still running, what commitment! My fingers are well and truly crossed (or will be once I finish typing!) that your meds even out and the drowsiness gets a bit better xx

    Thanks for the kind words lonelyrat i am getting there..

    Well we have 3 tl's on our department. 2 (excuse my French) are utter dicks the other is okay. I rang in on Monday and said i couldnt make it in i got a nob TL, the response was "Whats up like" very very professional he got the hint i didnt want to talk to him. After about 8 or 9 questions where I kept giving Yes or No answers. I asked if my floor manager was about and asked if she could ring me back, she was dead canny as for him errrrrrrrr no i am not discussing anything with him the guys a !!!!.

    Things are up in the air my plan is to get back Saturday but as you can see by my 1am posting my sleep pattern is shot.

    Yeah I made it in on Saturday and Sunday.

    My personal life collapsed yesterday I am kinda of relieved though. Me and my oh fell out yesterday and split. We ended up arguing over her son and money again. She said if I cant cope with her son and what going on to go our separate ways. Her son even though he hits her and speaks to her like something you have stepped in and smashes the place up when he is angry still cant do anything wrong. I left my laptop there when I was working the weekend he came around for a day to see his mam net result they argued, net result my hp laptop is in bits. I went ballistic re the laptop as you can imagine I am not in the position where I can afford a new one without taking on credit which I don't really want to do.


    Whats gunna happen with our holiday pass, I think I have enough to pay her off on my credit card if needs be.

    Well that's me off work till Friday now. Chill time and surveys, i have the f1 gran prix and the tour de france to catch up with.
  • As someone who was in a similar position last month - I sympathise

    Hope you get the holiday sorted out

    I have one booked late august with my now ex - maybe we should trade ex's :)
  • Haha I am going on the 8th of August with her and my son. Is no reconciliation for us, I am trying to be politically correct but I had a 19mile walk home last night. Losing my rag and ranting about her is very hard not to do.

    Where are you going and I will think about it lol? Cyprus for us.
