    Good news about the carers break payment :)

    Glad you enjoyed your hotel stay. I hope you find a way to manage after the overspend.

    I'm following your blog, good luck with it :)

    I wrote a massive post mid week and lost it, so I’ve been in a huff and not posted since :o: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’ :D.

    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 :(.

    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 :(.

    My Grandma is back in hospital :( Xx
