    So finally we've made it to the weekend. Pizza and ice-cream tonight (Sainsburys rather than takeout though). This weekend will be the usual housework / chores and maybe I'll try and do some more job spotting too :)

    I still have a long way to go to reach my swagbucks target today, I need a survey to pop up ideally :o I have got enough points to cash out a £5 voucher but there is a new round of Swago starting on monday so I might wait until then as that is often one of the squares to cross off on the board ;)

    Morning, still in pj's but been up for a while; so far I have cleaned the bathroom, changed my bedding (can't wait to get into a nice clean bed tonight already :D), cleaned my room, rounded up all the washing and washing up from upstairs, loaded the dishwasher, emptied the fridge of old stuff, taken out the rubbish / recycling, cleaned the kitchen and put the first load of washing on. Still a few more bits and pieces to be done today but it's nice to have got lost of it underway. Upstairs just needs a quick sweep around ds bedroom then a hoover through.

    Ds needs to catch his train to his Dads in an hour so I need to get dressed soon, then I'm off out to do some shopping / job spotting :)

    So much for plans .... so I took ds to the station and the ticket machine (prepaid ticket) wasn't working so he couldn't collect it. There was a live help thing and he spoke to them but they just said get on the train and explain to the guard and get them to print the ticket out. So he got on, explained and she said she didn't have a machine with her today. He said he needed to change trains and she said well you'll need to get another ticket for that bit ... he got really stressed, got off the train and phoned me to collect him and he's ended up coming home and refusing to go this weekend now :(:( Bloody autism and it's meltdowns :mad: :mad:

    OH dear. That's not so good.

    3 points today from a 92nd minute winner has made me very happy :j :j

    I've finally found a survey on swagbucks tonight so that target has been met today too. Dinner is in the oven (pulled pork, wedges and coleslaw ;)) and Strictly is on, happy days :D

    Sold another item on ebay, only £2 after postage but all helps and clears out another bit of clutter :)
