    Sorry to hear DS1 has been a pain. It won't help right now but it's his age, he'll get over it. DS2 sounds a little treasure - it may well change when the hormones hit though.

    It’s definitely hormones with DS1 SA, he did apologise though.

    DS2 is a total peach (usually!!) Xx

  • Did some shopping at Mr A’s this morning when I dropped DS1 at school. My discount card didn’t work :eek:. I’ve been expecting it at some point, but it was very disappointing, not least because I still haven’t had any kind of confirmation of my termination of employment.

    Cashed out a £15 Amaz0n voucher from Valued 0pini0ns :T.

    Shocking shocking way to treat people.
    Good news on the payout though.

  • Something has gone wrong with my budget somewhere along the way, and I’ve just had to transfer £70 from the Florida pot to the bank account :(. Will try to spend as little of it as possible and will transfer it back next week at the latest. Hate it when I screw up, it makes me feel all miserable and stooopid.

    And on that happy note, hope everyone has a good day Xx

    I agree with Beanie don't be too harsh on yourself. You deal with more than most and I think you do an excellent job!
