What a day !! All exciting stuff ( cept DS's usual attitude but we shall ignore him)

Got an e-mail from Morrisons and they want to send me some vouchers. Yes please say I . Don't know how much but am impressed with this as I just wrote a nice wee e-mail pointing out the health and safety issues with tins falling from a height.

Also got a call from the hospice where my Mum died. They have a massive fundraising on just now and asked for my office to help as we raised so much earlier in the year for them. They are raffling a car along with other prizes and are bringing it along to my work to let us all see it and to sell lots and lots of tickets.

Then found out that our shopping centre down at Loch Lomond are doing a drive in cinema at Christmas. We are going to see it's a wonderful life on Christmas Eve and this excites me hugely. I have never actually seen this film

Spent £29.75 today. £26 for the film, 75p for soup and £3 for window cleaner so not too bad.

Got bloods done this morning to check loads of things. Having another scan next week. I can actually feel a swelling under my ribs since yesterday so defo something going on. One of my (ex) best friends said it's probably fat :rotfl: hence the ex comment. B*tch!!

So all good today. Work still great and DS I can cope with xx

please-let-me-be-lucky

Great stuff re Morries vouchers. I should think so too!

Good luck with the fundraiser and the scan Xx

Can't wait to go Maty Moo. Will need to take loads of blankets, soup etc to keep us cosy though as about to freeze up here and snow is on it's way. Once it's here we usually have it for most of the winter. Deep Joy

So DD said to me last night ' Mum instead of paying £50 off of what I owe you this month is it ok if I pay £100' Eh yeah!! :rotfl:

Going out with my friend tomorrow as she got free tickets to a night out and it is a very cheap bar. Also got very cheap tickets for Shang-a-Lang on Tuesday in Glasgow. All good fun.

Spent £1.15 today on a bottle of coke. Canteen price. Could have got 2 litres for less !! Never mind.

Meal plan done for next 2 weeks and shopping list sorted for tomorrow. No work tomorrow and although will miss the cash I am very happy to get a Saturday off. Laters folks xx

Bleurgh!! Cider head on today unfortunately. Great night was had by all. As usual my bud and I were the dancing queens of the night and I ended up on stage singing with the singer . One of my party pieces :rotfl:. Folks running it wanted to set up a drinks tab for us behind the bar but the company we were in said no. I didn't say anything as I was an interloper but my fingers were crossed that they would just say thank you and we could have had a freebie night. Only spent £15 including raffle tickets so I am very happy with that.

New Look were selling onesies yesterday for £15 so I picked one up for DD. I keep thinking of getting one but I am sure they would give a wedgie and eew!! So am getting there with shopping but still a way to go.

Watching strictly just now but will need to move soon xx

Evening folks. Welcome back SBO not seen you in ages. I've been a bit MIA this week. Not off spending or anything but my life has turned to sh*t and I am down as a down person can be.

My darling ( said through gritted teeth) son has been suspended from school :mad::mad:. He has apparently been systematically hacking into the school network. He has cost them a fortune to fix their computers and the local council are so worried about their network being compromised that every educational establishment within the district has had to have passwords, access levels etc etc changed. I am so proud :mad::mad::mad:. I am actually devastated and can hardly even look at him. I am mortified. I had posted about him getting caught a couple of weeks ago and I thought that would be the end of it but Oh No the wee !!!!! continued and they had used a programme to watch him. The real annoying bit of it is he is failing effing computing!! In fact he is failing everything.

I am doing a second job as you guys know. I started the job to help pay off my debt but since DS started the new school I have had to use the money to pay for his fares so this behaviour is doubly devastating. I am struggling to work 6 days and he has thrown it right back in my face. So on top of his suspension his computer ban has been extended and his phone is off him too and he is grounded. The boy is driving me crazy :eek:

I was at the hospital on Wednesday and I at last know what is wrong with me. I knew it wasn't bloody IBS !! I have kidney stones. I am obviously getting them again and again and that is my problem. Think the woman who scanned me thought I was mad when I said I was delighted :rotfl:. I have been going to docs for a t least 3 years about this and I am just so relieved to have an answer. Just need to find out why it's happening now.

Money wise I have about £60 to see me through until payday next week so I am happy with that. DD and I are heading out on Sunday to do a wee bit of Christmas shopping so I will maybe treat us to a wee bit lunch. I'll see how it goes.

So tonight I am exhausted and am going to chill. I have meatballs made fresh and am going to cook them with some spaghetti. DD is away out to her BF's so just me and the devil child at home and I'm not really speaking to him so it'll be nice and quiet. Hope everyone is well xxx

Hi mit so sorry to hear about your ds what a silly boy its annoying when we do anything for our kids and then they do something stupid and ruin it all good for you taking his stuff away and grounding him , anyway chin up and have good weekend

please-let-me-be-lucky

So sorry to hear of your woes with DS. It must be very annoying when you have put so much effort in to be rewarded in that way. Hopefully one day he will put his skills to better use but that for now he has learned his lesson.

Can you use the money you will save on his fares during the suspension to treat yourself to something nice? Xx

What a nightmare MIT . Don't know what to suggest but grounding etc is a good start. I guess you need a good talk with him when you have had a chance to calm down and process it.
