  • Well today I took the children shopping and bought them pretty much new everything trainers, trousers,hoodies,socks etc DS got a new xbox game (well second hand traded in one) and DD got a new bag and a book. I then treated (I use that word half heartedly in this case) to a burger king lunch. Neither could quite believe their luck! I have bagged up all their ill fitting clothes ready to take to the charity shop tomorrow.

    The best bit, apart from the book everything was sale price so I was still thrifty LOL DD was over the moon with her trousers that "really fit" (her words lol)

    Im due the next money this weekend, thats going in the house pot, have a man coming Wednesday to do some things for me:jthe following money will be going on the debt

    Thanks again everyone, it felt amazing seeing the kids faces getting their new clothes:D
    Life happens, live it well.
