Abba1772's Debt Free Diary

abba1772

Roll on school holidays going back as this uniform shopping for teenagers is expensive :mad:

Day started off bad playgroup had to be cancelled at the last minute due to no one from the community centre getting in touch with us to say so so I had to stand about with 5 kids hoping that everyone got the messages I sent :mad:

So came home my brother visited with my niece so cue wrestling for about a hour which let me get my ironing done then we had lunch then headed out to the shops seeing as I needed to get my Abbie her uniform

Went into new look who had nothing in stock :mad: but managed to get her two pairs of trousers for £7.99 each plus new bras for her as well £9.99 then nipped to tesco got her 6 shirts for £15 ended up buying Kk a pair of trainers in the next size up reduced from £12 to £4 :T a pair of paw patrol pyjamas £7 butter £2 diluting juice £2 bubbles £1.50 :rotfl: a bubble machine £5 and other stuff for school like pencil cases pencils rubbers etc, in the end I ended up spending £61 in tesco :mad: not taking them in their again

Then to top my day off my mindee seems to be regressing backwards in regards to the toilet as he's nearly 4 and has started wetting himself regardless of how many times I take him to the toilet.........just before pick up time he decided to use my couch as a toilet :mad: right down the middle of my couch :mad: and all over my carpet, to say I was !!!!ed off was an understatement and all the parent said was....he ain't getting his tablet tonight :mad: hmmmmm bet he got it as its like his pacifier :mad:

On a positive note I've sent £3.03 towards the Argos account, tax credits are due in so I reckon I can make a largish payment towards it tomorrow :j we shall see xx itching to get this under the £200 mark pretty sharpish seems I've been stuck in the £200's for a while but I know it's not xx

Nooooooo. :eek: I work in a school and I have 6 weeks off too. It's going very quick though.

Well done on getting the Argos card down. It will be gone before you know it.

I remember having to buy school uniforms and I found the older they got the more expensive school clothes they wanted.

You are doing so well, keep it up. :T

Wow I don't go back until the 1st of September so I shouldn't moan really.

I do actually feel for parents that have children at home for such a long time. Children cost a fortune. It makes me wish I had 7 of them :eek: (not)

You're right about how quick it goes though.
