I received a call from the CSA today to inform me that they've managed to locate ds (3.6) father. I haven't had a maintenence payment for quite a while (about 2 1/2 years).
Payments of £10 fortnightly are going to start in 4-6 weeks with the added bonus of...wait for it... An extra 50p a week for his arrears!

I feel rich!!

Every month a lottery ticket!!! What riches await. Personally think the poundland trip every 2 weeks or a cream egg better value.

CupidStuntSurvivor · 06/03/2015 21:37

Caviar's on you OP Wink.

KatoPotato · 06/03/2015 21:40

I think your first purchase should be a cane and Spatz.

londonrach · 06/03/2015 21:40

In my childhood i could get one kinda egg, pack of polos and some penny sweats and get change from 50p! Op invent timetravel and you right with this extra money!!!!

MyIronLung · 06/03/2015 21:41

I'm just perusing holiday homes in the Maldives. You're all welcome (in 4-6 weeks), just don't forget the energy drinks and cream eggs.

Skips in with a pack of spangles and candy cigarette sweets with the red ends to pretend they were real. Feels old now oh you could get 2.5 oz of cola cubes

MyIronLung · 06/03/2015 21:46

I remember going to the shop and buying half penny sweets. I could've had 100 of those buggers!

I hope you remember this princely sum has to spent for the benefit of your DS. Can't have you swanning around on ill-gotten gains and depriving him of his rightful good fortune Grin

Guiltypleasures001 · 06/03/2015 21:49

Can said child not partake in the energy drink and cream egg the ?
If not a fruit shoot and a sausage roll would soon see him right Smile

MyIronLung · 06/03/2015 21:50

scousadelic don't worry. I'll let him have half of my monster energy drink. Grin
