Confessions of a Single Mum

The ups, the downs and sideways views of life as a single parent

Earn as you Shop

By

Earn as you shop, sounds a bit too good to be true. But wait, actually it exists. Kinds of ideal in a world were its just so much easier to shop online than wrestling children in and out of car seats and buggys. Not to mention umbrellas, wellies and all the stuff that goes with it. My two are way past the car seat and buggy stage but even I find it easier to switch the computer on instead of donning all weather gear. So what sort of deals are these internet cashback sites giving away? ... VIEW POST

Thoughts Out Of My Head

By

Another M.E sufferers words on M.E... So I put pen to paper and this is what came out there was no plan just wrote as it came to me. If only life were simple, feelings plain and clear, it would help me calm my mind and take away the fear. I need to get these feelings out you may already know, the way the thoughts are going and how my fears they grow. I feel so overwhelmed sometimes, well often, it is true, so what best way to deal with this when I’m feeling blue? ... VIEW POST

I want it to just stop so I can catch my breath and enjoy now just a bit longer. Sometimes I pretend I am rich. I don’t do anything stupid like spend all the rent money on a jumper ... VIEW POST

My Lottery Wish List….

By

Look here National Lottery, I am meeting you half way and buying a ticket. Could you please do your bit and pick my numbers. You are rather taking you time a bit but heyho it just means my wish list will get longer. Right in the meantime I best work on my wish list. So I am imagining the win……the email comes on from them and I presume its just a tiny tenner win. Now I am not fussy and I would be happy with that but if there were many more noughts added to it I would probably drop my netbook so ... VIEW POST
