Thanks Beanie - it went okay, a bit weird really; ds was really good and engaged completely with it today, he was very open and told her how he's feeling, everything that's happened since the last appointment etc. She listened lots, asked lots of questions, then basically said "It sounds as though your feelings of depressions etc are due to your lack of friends, so you need to go and find some friends,there's nothing really we can offer" but then went on to say they'll see him again in December :cool:

So pretty much we're on our own Nothing I didn't already know but frustrating as if making friends for ds was easy we wouldnt be here in the first place :cool:

In other news, we popped to Wasterstones afterwards and got 2 of the 3 texts he needs for English literature using a book token he's had knocking around for a couple of years

I also have ordered a £5 Amazon voucher from Swagbucks, as usual this won't be added to the savings pot until I spend it on a gift then I can transfer the money from the gift fund.

So tonight is chicken korma night, maybe a bit of pottering, and enjoy the return of the Apprentice

Morning all, yesterday involved another meltdown, today ds is off to his Dads so I will get some calm time today

£10 withdrawn from a survey site, I've hit my swagbucks target every day this week which I'm pleased with too

I don't really have any plans yet this weekend, there's no football today so I may go and do some Christmas planning or tidy the garden up a bit, not sure yet.

Another £5 Amazon voucher ordered too

Ds has been dropped off at the station, a cup of tea has been drunk, my bed has been stripped and remade, looking forward to a nice clean bed after Strictly tonight, followed by a lie-in tomorrow
The first load of washing is in, the dishwasher is on, windows are open, my room just needs a clean and hoover. Time for a list I reckon, nothing too urgent just bits and pieces I can get done while pottering this weekend:

• Clear washing mountain
• Ironing
• Clean ds bedroom
• Clean my bedroom

• Water indoor plants
• Sort the central heating
• Clean the marks off the carpet
• Hoover through
• Sweep floors
• Buy lightbulbs and fit
• Clear paperwork pile
• Reach Swagbucks target
• Empty out handbag
• Sevearl trips to the tip
• Tidy up front garden
• Food shopping

So we went to the shops, I spent £18.87 in Sainsburys on bits and pieces, but I returned some trousers that ds wouldn't wear (£14) so only £4.87 to pay, then I can claim £1.10 back from checkoutsmart, and I scanned a swipe and win vouchers which gave me £1 worth of nectar points and the till gave me another voucher worth £2.50 of nectar points. So all in all, I end up 27p worse off :money: :money:

I also spent £43 on filling up the car with petrol and £6 on the light bulbs. Is it just me or are they nowadays sooo confusing?? Why did they mess with all the w and v ratings?

So, time to tidy and clean downstairs then a strictly fest in front of the telly

I've finally got to todays Swagbucks target, it was a slog to get there today

Betterthanever

I got lucky this morning and got a couple of 70 point surveys in the bag so was ok. But weekends are generally dire! Still, it all adds up!
