    I spent £2.13 in Wilkinson on some plastic trays (to put pencils in at school for each table) and 80p parking= £2.93, so I have £5.07 to last me until the end of August. I won a tenner last night from a bet with a mate, but am going to keep that as petrol money before pay day.

    I want to wear my beautiful wedding dress everyday- it would make shopping so much more fun, I mean, people go shopping in their pyjamas these days.......
    Must STOP spending!!! :)
