Me neither, my children are too old and as I don't work only one payment for us. It does not matter what you spend it on, as long as you spend it and not save it. That is what the government want you to do, so don't feel guilty.

I am hoping we will still get it once our tax returns are lodged. We get our FTB as a lump sum at the end of the year so fingers crossed.

Same boat for us Shea We sold a rental property and made a massive capital gains so I think we are ruled out even though we both work and our incomes are under the threshold. wont know I guess till we get out tax returns in...been putting that off as we have to pay a big tax bill for that anyway

Well the majority of it is staying in the bank. The kids have also got a few needed items like new shoes and some new uniforms. I cant stand spend it willy nilly. It will be spent but it will be on something we really need at the time.
