Strawberry coke?
Wonder what that one will be like.
I like the mango one

Not sure I'd like to find out Beanie, but ds will drink it On the cruise they have those huge Coke machines that you can add flavours to, he loves trying them out, so am sure he'll like it. I do love Cherry Coke but all the others just sound yuck to me

And it's half-term :j :j :j

Finally, it's rest time. I've just had my bath and am just chilling this evening on the sofa.

This week will be spent looking into plans for ds for next year, helping him plan revision, decluttering, spending time doing cards stuff and just chilling

Happy half term

Had a funny nights sleep, slept like a log from 10-2.30 then wide awake for 2 hours, then slept again until 8ish this morning. Ds is still snoring nicely so I'm not getting up yet, I'll stay in bed with the laptop

I've already reached my swagbucks goal for today, I got lucky with a survey for 120 points that only took about 5 minutes

So today - food shopping is needed, a quick general tidy up, although it's not too bad this week, then I can start the decluttering mission. I'm thinking there's not too much stuff here, but everyone probably thinks that until they actually start. No doubt there will be a few trips to the tip this week.

£5 amazon voucher claimed from swagbucks and I have spent £14 on Amazon as ds needed new pedals for his bike. I spent vouchers and wil transfer the £14 across from the car/bike maintenance fund, so this will now go into the savings pot as it covers the vouchers that came from swagbucks ... clear as mud

benbenandme

So, just had another half an hour phone call with the child maintenance people ... and he should have been paying me just under £400 a month all along after all. Therefore there are arrears of £700ish over the last 2 months, plus they still haven't got the shared care bit accurate, which ,means the monthly payment swill go up by about another £25 per month too. They now need to have some not so nice conversations with him but at some point, hopefully, I should see some decent money coming in again, all of which was already sidelined for the holiday fund. I'm hopeful but won't believe it until I actually receive the money - I have learnt that one over the years where he's concerned :cool:

In other news, £4 from an ebay sale

Hope it all sorts itself out sooner rather than later.
