    Hi Dangers, my referral code is ACMUMGUE, thank you!! Currently you get a free bar of Lindt chocolate I think ;) I would also use checkoutsmart, it's another very similar app, they don't do referrals but today for example I got 6 x yazoo chocolate milk for free :money:

    Thank you for the points I earn from you on swagbucks too, much appreciated :T :T

    Great news on potential job for your DS.
    My DS found the papers a hard slog.

    Thank you for the points I earn from you on swagbucks too, much appreciated :T :T

    I’m pleased it worked as I wasn’t convinced it had gone through properly. I’m getting better with SB but am not earning very quickly.

    I'm pleased ds has stuck his paper-round this long, it's been about 18 months altogether. It was fine when we were at the flat but it has been a lot of effort since we moved.

    Considering the problems he has because of his ASD yesterday was such a good day, he said ' I know I've messed up a lot at school, but I've had a paper-round for 18 months and saved enough money to cover my driving lessons, I've passed one GCSE already and I might now have a part-time job'. He was so proud and so was I :T :T :T
    There are so few kids at school who have a part-time job these days, mainly due to employers not wanting to take on anyone under 16, its something I think is so valuable to them.

    Dangers I haven't done it much the last couple of days, I do usually get to my first daily goal and that's enough for me. It means about £5 a week :)

    So today I had planned on doing some job spotting but its absolutely chucking it down here so instead I'm having a catching up on things indoors kinda day :D

    The house is pretty today but there's some cleaning needed, then I have some admin bits to sort through, clearing surveys etc. Mums coming round for dinner later on.

    This week is only a 4 day one for me - we've got an inset day on Friday and we(non teaching staff) have been given the day off as we did loads of hours before the Ofsted visit :T, so I'm hoping to get planned for the week and hopefully it will go quite quick :D

    I'm plodding through the list, ds is home now and the roast dinner is smelling nice as it's cooking :)

    I've done the banking and found £5 interest payment in the TSB account, so added that to the 2018 fund :D
