I wrote a massive post mid week and lost it, so I’ve been in a huff and not posted since
:rotfl:.
That’s the first week back at school done. DS2 seems to have settled in to his Middle School well, and DS1 feels like he has never been away.
I got a £10 voucher from my complaint with the ‘golden arches’
.
I’ve ordered DS1’s birthday present from Amazon using vouchers earned entirely from swagbucks. I’m really pleased with this achievement but I’m equally scared but that means I now have ZERO savings for Christmas

Glad the DSs are all settled in back at school
Not too late to get the Xmas savings started - you can do it I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
We’ve had a no spend weekend :T. Much needed as I don’t know how we will manage the week ahead :eek:. I asked my Mum for my birthday money early so I could pay for things in London a couple of weeks ago, so I won’t be getting anything on Wednesday. We are supposed to be going out for a meal for DS1’s birthday on Thursday, and I had some listings on eBay which were ‘sure to sell and would cover it’. Except they didn’t and now I don’t know what to do.
