Sorry S A, for how things are for you at,the moment…would it be worth you “ juggling up” your days in the office ( if you can) don’t tell MR S A till the day you are going in,if possible. Or tell him you are getting a carer to “ pop in” at lunch time ,if you can get help from the council. Re the surveys,i use qmee…can be quite good..i usually cash out @ £30 a month( if i really make an effort have cashed out over £60 in a month0

@Judes123, I use Qm** as well. The first few months were brilliant, at least £30, but just lately I seem to get DQ'd from most of them. Maybe they think I've had enough from them....lolMaking the debt go down and savings go up

@Judes123 the juggling the days is a good idea but it really wouldn’t work for me. The pattern I have now of Tuesday and Thursday WFH is perfect. I used to do QM and regularly made £10 a week then all of a sudden I just kept getting screened out constantly. Out of interest I logged back in tonight and got a fair way through a survey when it screened me out 🙁I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

@Sun_Addict we are all rooting for you. If you implode, Mr SA will end up with carers if not in a care home anyway. I think you're right to be suspicious, sadly. Love Humdinger xx2

It's a bit of a coincidence for sure and to then say what he said about falling makes me even more suspicious. Maybe you should test him by saying you are going when you aren't to see what he does. He needs to realise that you need a break before you breakOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1201

I think the majority of his falls are genuine as they’re so random. I hope I’m wrong about the Sunday falls but it does seem suspicious especially after what he said last week. However I do think the thought of me leaving him on Mondays makes him careless to the point where he’s hoping he falls. I think this last fall has shook him up so I think he’ll be more careful this Sunday 🤞 As for the key episode 😡I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

That’s another working week gone by in a flash. Finally made it into the office today and feel so much better for it. I finished early and went for a wander through the city centre before heading home via Lid! Have now spent enough for a free condiment, herb or spice - useful but not a patch on the free seeded sourdough.Had a lovely long soak in the bath when I got home. Not had time for a bath since Monday so it felt good.Exercise has been 23,000 steps walking to/from work. Plus I’ve been on every single one of the 9 floors of the office putting out leaflets for an event I’ve organised so 103 flights of stairs. I felt quite woozy on the 9th floor it’s so high although might be psychological.Tonight’s dinner is lightly dusted yellowfin sole and steamed veg.Looking forward to putting my feet up with a glass of wine later.Praying for an uneventful weekend 🙏I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6
