  • Lazy lazy day today. Clubs called off due to weather so the whole £10 is still in my purse! £1.04 still in my account! Personal sends payday Monday. Have managed to have a jimjams day the first in months! Had a terrible nights sleep last night as dog was ill so was happy to do nowt.

    Have used my amazon promotional credits for some learning apps for Miniocc hoping he might do them and no cost to me. Also got a wellbeing book which I'm currently downloading to my phone.

    Trying to catch up on my testing and reviews just a couple of things left to do.

    Hi I've been reading your diary I don't post an awful lot on others diaries but definitely have a good read and cheer everyone on. welcome to my diary :) my dog has allergies so if he eats anything it upsets him. He's a little monkey for scavenging things that make him sick (mostly meat) as he loves it but it doesn't love him :(

    Yes sign up at Amazon review trader. I have reviews over 100 things so far all things we have needed. I won't need toiletries for a year and had lots useful stuff. I only pick cheap or free things unless it's something I'm going to buy anyway for example I paid £8 for some socks but I was going out to buy socks so it saves me going to the shops. I rarely pay anything though.

    If you update your amazon bio to include that you have a blog and put in an email address companies may send you stuff too. I get an couple of emails a week from that about half of which I accept. I generally only go for things I really want and look good quality in the first place so it's very easy to write the reviews. Good luck!
  • Mini has had a fantastic day, had a great game and scored 2 goals at football. £2 spends.

    Went to cafe and had ice creams afterwards £20 so my contribution was the £10 in my purse. Personal spends payday tomorrow with approx £1 in my purse and 4p in my account! I made it though without touching the savings. Yay! Will try again next month too.

    Mini has his ed. psyc. assessment tomorrow, over the last week he seems really like nothing is wrong. As it stands right now I think they will say nothing's wrong he is fine, I'll be glad I haven't told the school do they can do a 'told you so'! a couple of weeks ago I'd have said he's definitely not right at all. Anyhow the appointment is tomorrow and he's going so will know more when we get the report in a couple of weeks.

    Will be putting in my mfit scores soon but might get a sneaky op in first!
  • £300 well spent today. Dyslexia confirmed. School very unhappy with me currently. Feeling a little overwealmed.

    Thank you :) hopefully when I have the full report through I can speak more clearly with the school about it all in a more positive way.

    Better day today minis teacher asked me to come in Friday to speak with her, and was less confrontational.

    Well done for taking mini occ to an ed psych. I did exactly the same with my ds at about the same age. He was also diagnosed with dyslexia, overall his primary school was very helpful but throughout school I did have to keep arranging meetings etc to ensure he was getting the help he needed. It paid off in the end and he got good GCSE results and is now in sixth form.
