Walk the mile home from ballet resisting the girls moans to catch the bus!!!!
Got given some second hand tap and ballet shoes from a friend - will save some money
My boss sold an item for cash yesterday. Gave me a fiver as a gift from his 'cut' rather than it going through the company (he is the owner i will add!) So i suppose the £5 covered most of my prescription
Using DD2's birthday money for clothes - helps me as i won't need to get her much for the winter especially as she is in school clothes most of the week!!
That has been my last couple of days.
Unsure of what we are doing tomorrow! Maybe a walk - something free!
