Hi all,
Not getting a chance to get on here much at the mo, ds is still teething which is causing him to have diarrhoea constantly, never ending washing. I'm going to finish my extra teaching hours tomorrow as I hate letting the college down so regularly, the group had just about finished anyway so only losing 1/2 day extra pay.
All else OK, off to Reading at the weekend for the 1/2 marathon - I'm not able to do it as have had so many colds over the last few weeks that I haven't been able train properly. DH is still doing it and it will be nice to spend a night away with him.
Another over payment to be sent on Friday, currently standing at:
£80.80 mystery shops
£20.00 m/s
£7.00 m/s
£12.00 savings from shopping
£10.77 Quidco
£15 Amazon
Current total £145.57 :T

Ah the peaks and troughs of being a MFW, doing a steady trickle of mystery shops at the moment but nothing coming in payment wise until the end of the month.
Current account has taken a bit of a battering due to family nights (sorry that should be day and night out!) out for dh, control over spending is non existent when he's had a few! So trying to scrape together cash to build up balance a bit.
Feeling a bit flat today but I'm sure my mood will improve as I get nearer to my break away at the end of the month.
I've got a m/s to do after lunch, a cruise inquiry - I'd take any hols at the mo!
