    You not seen the dodgy mud wrestling one? One guess of who started that?!!

    You can sell other things on Amazon btw, but I've never been successful :(

    Good day today, had to do the weekly shop but only spent £27.30 so pleased with that. Just had loads of stuff on ebay finish and made over £56 but still got to take their rediculous fee's off but hey every little bit helps to reduce the debts!

    Haven't had a chance to get on and write here for a couple of days. Feeling a bit crappy at the moment, maybe its the time of the year but just feel like hiding in a corner. Mostly I just feel sorry for my DD as I have days when I just can't be arsed, I love her more than anything and feel like im letting her down when I just stay in all day and we don't do anything exiting.
    Also seem to have spent too much from the budget in the last few days...just buying stupid crap to try and cheer myself up. Dam emotional spending and eating...grrrrr
    Right just watched Martin and feel a little more inspired so going to have a look through the budget. Oh I wonder if argos do whiteboards?? Got some vouchers I had for my birthday and would love to get a little whiteboard to see it clearly everyday.

    Hey Sally - don't feel bad about not doing much - you just being around etc is doing loads :)

    I find if I'm having a particularly blurghh day, I try and let the kids ahve a go with the paints - the no mess, less stress ones from woolies (£5ish) but wonderful!! They feel like they've done something creative, I feel happy that they are happy and I don't have to deal with the inevitable mess from ordinary paints :D

    If Argos don't do the whiteboards but I did see this :D

    Thanks Sea
    Ive been searching on education stuff to do with Bea. She is very demanding and wants to be stretched the whole time. Any Primary teachers out there, what can I do with a very bright 2 year old....that runs rings around me.

    Another day another dollar...or pound I guess. Feeling a bit more positive today although I can't wait for next payday so I will have a bit more to add to the savings pot. I just want to have enough to be able to pay off one of the debts and feel like I have achieved something.

    Hi Sally
    How's the quest for a new internet provider going....or did you beat down Pipex to a sensible price ? You don't have to wait 3 weeks between providers-just plan ahead and make sure your new provider has your MAC code from Pipex promptly. Most suppliers tell you it will take ages to try and dissuade you from moving but it really shouldn't be more than a few days especially if you book it all in in advance.
