School was all fine again today, spends = £4 on lunch :eek: and £120 on breakfast club for the term (budgeted for already).

It was lovely to come home to a nice clean tidy flat although I am flagging a bit following my early start this morning I may do the food shopping tonight so its out of the way for the weekend, but then I may buy more junk if I'm tired, so maybe I'll leave it for now :cool:

Ds has just gone to call for the little boy who lives in the next flat, so I ought to get a couple more bits crossed off my list while I have some quiet time ....

Hmm, the neighbour wasn't in so we went to tescos and did that (another £50 gone ) and I have come home to an email from ds teacher telling me that he had a really bad day again today, he hit another kid, kept telling the adults to shut up, was very disruptive No buses tomorrow then but I just don't know what to do with him, nothing seems to help

Another early morning, not sure why, having a lie-in with the laptop today instead though

Last night I bought myself a new phone, my contract runs out in 3 weeks so I have been looking for a bit and tbh I got completely overwhelmed with the choices and got a bit fed up of it all My current phone is rubbish, it turns itself off every time you look at it :cool: so I couldn't just go to sim only. Anyway, I ended up getting one that has an 8mb camera (my camera is rubbish too so saves me shelling out on a new one), it has gps (for geocaching, thanks Tigz :T), mp3 player (my ipod has finally given up)100 minutes, unlimited texts, 500mb data, £50 through quidco and £130 cashback through dialaphone. (Contract is £21 p/m). I'm happy with that, I don't need an iphone so didn't want to go down that route.

So today, well ds has drama this morning, then we have the weekend ahead of us. I guess I ought to make a list though of bits and pieces I want to get done;

• clean guinea pigs
• change ds bedding
• visit Dad
• clean car
• sort 3 x birthday presents (family)
• deliver 2 of those presents
• ironing
• return a couple of bits to my aunt
• ds reading homework x 3
• make sure ds finished his presentation for school
• baking

Dry washing folded and put in the ironing pile, next load out of the machine and hung up to dry, we're both dressed, my beds made (no point doing ds's as I'm stripping it when we get back), breakfast stuff washed up, just need to sort my hair out now before we go out

Sorry to hear ds had a bad day I wish I could give you some words of advice...instead all I can do is offer you a dodgy hug :grouphug:

I bet I can guess which mobile you're getting rid of....I had one just like that constantly turning off and on throughout the day, an absolute nightmare. I hope you have better luck with your new one. That's a great amount of cashback anyway

Thanks Poles, my old phone is a tocco lite, it drives me nuts :cool:
So we went to ds drama this morning and when we got there it wasn't the normal guy doing it, I spent the hour constantly watching my phone as I thought ds would have a wobbly as it was an unexpected change, but he did fine and no wobblies

I ende dup spending money again 80p on the car park (unavoidable), £4 on a magazine and a scratchcard, £3.50 on french bread, cooking chocolate and a couple of other bits in co-op, £2 on birthday cards and £2 in 99p shop on ambrosia rice pudding (2 for 99p) and 3 caramacs

Back home now, chilling out a bit at the moment before we decide what to do next. Its quite nice just doing nothing, the windows are all open, fresh air is pouring in and it feels nice

In my junk mail the other day I got a voucher from Boden (have never ordered anything, their prices are just daft ), anyway, it was for 15% off, free delivery and £10 off, so have just ordered ds a long sleeve t-shirt that has a bus on the front of it It was £14 but with the discounts it cost me £1.90 :beer: I will put it away for his birthday
