When things hit rock bottom the only answer is to fight the way back up...

Toni'sfriend

I read a quote on here somewhere "comparison is the thief of joy". Absolutely dead on and it's taken me a long time to realize that is the case. You have so many good qualities. Your children are going to grow up knowing they had a wonderful mother who put them before anything else and wanted the best for them. Priceless! So we don't look like supermodels. We don't travel the world. Well, we don't have the money to do so and are those who can any happier. I doubt it. You keep at it. You'll get there.

Ahh nearly the weekend.

Non-uniform tomorrow, must remember the kids need to take £1 each! Glad it's a Friday and not breaking a NSD

Shopping list and meal plan ready to attack Mr AL tomorrow. A new one has opened that isn't as far as the usual one.

Don't know if its the heat or what but the kids have been on a right wind up tonight! They both had a shower and early night! Hope they wake up in a better mood tomorrow. Even youngest took herself off to bed and went to sleep. Just waiting for the washer to finish with OH work clothes in then I can get them hung up and I can go to bed myself, maybe an early night after all!

Sounding very organised HI. Yay to early nights

Well Friday it is

I haven't paid my payments yet, I need to wait to see if my login details come in the post, otherwise I will need to borrow out of the wages for food shop and posting the ebay things :mad:

Went to DD's star of the week presentation this morning and youngest played up the whole time!! So embarrassed Then she had a full on meltdown because we couldn't bring her brother and sister home. "BUT MY BEST FRIENDS" While crying on top note. Stress!

She's now recovering from her wild act on the sofa why I drink a coffee or three!

Need to go to Mr AL too hopefully youngest snaps out of her crying! Or I might just have to join her :rotfl: :rotfl:

Short term goals June

Council tax £120 (28th June) - £10/£120
[STRIKE]A new diary I [STRIKE]want[/STRIKE] need £15*[/STRIKE] Bad idea.
Rest of unplanned OH purchase £50 - £0/£50 not in budget nor debt amount
OH :cool: £175 - £0/175 don't even ask. :mad:


The plan is survey, more survey, Ebay and scrimp on everything else. I won't allocate it until it's actually reached the account.

[STRIKE]*Diary yes I know stupid expense, I won't buy it with money only with the sites I can only cashout vouchers. [/STRIKE]

Amazon balance £25
Yougov cashed out £50 don't think it will be in the bank in June though.
My survey £10 cashed out to Paypal no idea how long never done it to paypal before.
Panelbase £10 cashed out should already be in the bank
PA £91.05 Cashed out waiting to hit circle
[STRIKE]Ebay - 9 items listed, only 2 with 99p bids :cool: half the profit is mine, half mums. I will let them end this week and what doesn't see can go back to her and will swap for other items. I can only list 10 items a month.[/STRIKE] total wipeout, basically wasted my 10 listings on things for mum that sold at 99p and I didn't go halfs with her.

[STRIKE]OH trip. Needs £90 on the 30th the rest by the end of next month. Just want to get it paid tbh. I'm past worrying about it and disagreeing with him over it. The other £50 needs to be paid over the next 2/3 weeks too otherwise it will go up again
[/STRIKE] Not even started on this. he can deal with it.
