  • Had a bit of a spending spree today, lol!
    Went into town with my mum and my little brother to get last minute Christmas pressies!
    Treated them both to lunch in China Buffet King, got my brother a cardi and a hoody from Primark! He's 11, and fits into a mens small! omg!
    they are a bit big for him, but he likes them, most kids clothes are too small for him, as he i really tall for his age, honestly he passes for 15 sometimes!

    He also managed to con me out of about £40! He wanted to buy my mum and his dad, and me pressents! lol

    Got myself some books in Borders, they were 3 for 2, so he got the free one!
    And i also got myself a shirt and a bag in Primark.

    Still have £100 left, and my mum owes me £22, she had no money left but needed books in Borders for pressents for my step-dad, so out came my card again!
