    How exciting, I love a new phone - what sort is it? Can you put loads of money making apps on it?
    Well done on the survey pay out, you have always inspired me to try that little bit harder to make extra money xxx

    So more chatting with Mr S yesterday and he stayed over last night. It's all quite complicated, but I'm just going with the flow for now and enjoying it as it comes.

    Today was a relatively calm straightforward day at work, don't get too many of them these days :) Tonight I have got some washing done and pottered about a bit, helped ds with some homework and generally had a relaxing evening. 4 more days to go til half-term :)

    Aaah, made it to the end of the day and came home to some nice post - finally my council tax has been sorted and they have applied the single person discount and refunded me £116 :j :j I haven't added it to my total yet as I may go shopping tomorrow and treat myself ;)

    Ds is going to his Dads tonight and then my plan is to chill, write a to-do list for the week and generally not do much :)

    So, went to put the kettle on and ended up doing a ten minute whizz round putting things away and the place looks half presentable already :)

    Cup of tea time now and I may as well make a start on the list. It might be quite mammoth, not all of it will get done but at least if its written on here there's a chance ;)
