If anyone wants to help Shelley by buying gift baskets HERS ARE AWESOME! My sister is still raving about hers and cheap too. I know she has some nice bath ones right now. Ask her! :)

Shelley, maybe you can pick up a FT or PT job to help bring in some $$ and your hubby can watch the little one while you work a different shift than his.

Also try some of the online surveys..I have checks coming in just about every week, the extra money is nice as I am a single parent and know what it's like to scrape for cash

and DBackFan TY so much sweetie! Oh I have more Christmas things I could Make you a seasonal one to :) I just need to get a basket big enough LOL

and the job thingy , I applied at a few different places just waiting to hear, the only prob is hubby is on call, so they can call him when ebver they please :( I dont think they should be able to do that if they are cutting his hours, makes it hard if I have to go to work and he gets a call, cause he would have to go since he makes alot more than I would start off at :( Im running an add to babysit, maybe I will get a reply to that :)

TY everyone for your thoughts I surely appreciate it :)

Huggles,Shelley

and MamaFairal I agree LOL I do them all of the time and Nothing :(

But I keep doing them just in case oneday Im a big winner LOL

My main concern is baby food (not the cereal) and diapers/wipes) wic covers the cereal and the pantry is pretty good with canned food for the older kids and pasta stuff.

I somehow signed up on pinecone research and they send me $5 checks all the time..from what I hear, you have to find a banner link in order to sign up. A couple of other good ones are www.brandinstitute.com and www.surveysavvy.com www.surveyspot.com , they seem to pay the best..good luck :)

I'm very sorry to hear, that you are in this situation. I know how hard it can be, when there is such a problems with work. My hubby could not find a job for 10 months, so I kind of know what you are going through. Best of luck in New Year, and I wish your situation wii be much better.
