    So this morning we have been to the train club, we took Mum to show her and we had the place to ourselves which was great and meant ds could have a go on other track layouts that normally are occupied. We then stopped at the farm shop on the way back and I got some lamb and some ham and a few plants for the hanging basket out the front, (£14 in total :T). We also took some bits to the tip and got rid of them.

    The rest of the day will be spent pottering, ds has some homework to do and a couple of other jobs, I have the plants to pot up, the ironing, some surveys and a few other bits and pieces to do.

    Roast beef for dinner before the bath / sunday night routine kicks in :)

    Another Monday done, all relatively normal. A new round of Swago started today, so if anyone is still thinking about joining please use my referral code as this will earn me another square on my board :D

    Time to make a cottage pie for tea, nothing much else planned for tonight, I need to find another 26 swagbucks today to reach my target for today.

    I'm struggling to get to my swagbucks goal today, I still need another 26 sb's, I should be able to get there using the apps but it will take a while :o

    I have ordered another £5 Amazon voucher tonight, so that's £10 earned this month from Swagbucks already :T

    Nothing much else to report tonight, I've had my bath and now I'm on wind down time before bed :D

    Had my haircut tonight, spent £50 in total but that included a bottle of glossing spray and sausage and chips from the chippie next door for tea for me and ds :D

    Almost reached today's Swagbucks goal, 4 more to go.

    Today was a goof day at work, one of our students is on the books of a premier league team (not the one I support), and we were invited along to go and see their training / education facilities - to be fair it was incredible. It also made for a nice day at work for me :rotfl:

    Forgot ... I have ordered something ds wanted online, he's given me the cash and I bought it from Amazon so had vouchers already. I also ordered a couple of bits for Xmas, so that's £22 to transfer from the xmas fund too, so in total £34 to add to my brothers fund ;)

    A nice day at work today and I managed to duck out an hour early, which actually meant I got home and had time to get on with stuff, so most of my housework is done already :j :j I have cleaned the bathroom, tidied and cleaned both bedrooms, tidied the kitchen, tidied and cleaned the conservatory, filled the dishwasher and done two loads of washing ;)

    So, tomorrow I still need to plough through the rest of the washing, hoover through, clean the downstairs loo and iron the aforementioned washing :) But, it's nice to feel that I have the weekend ahead of me and I'm pretty much up to date already :)

    Tomorrow we're going to meet another autistic boy who likes trains. Ds is looking forward to it but is nervous. We'll see how it goes :o

    I've reached my swagbucks daily goal again today, I'm nearly at payout for another voucher :D
