  • Hi Adrian, Happy New Year:j

    I also treated my daughter today. She has just become a teenager (in her head) although she is 12 yrs in reality. This means, horror of horrors, that she is wanting clothes from Topshop! They are quite pricey:mad: however, she is a good girl and was really pleased and grateful when I pointed out that she could only have them if she was willing to wear preloved ones off EBay. She was happy with this so she we won to very cheap dresses today:T

    When children make you proud, like my daughter did then, you could cry with happiness! I suspect you know what I mean:)

  • Today has been a very productive day i have worked 3 hours overtime this money will go into my savings pot. Due to me doing overtime didnt go to the football so the money that i would have spent will go into my savings pot, I have also spent £22.82 - £20 ON PETROL and £2.82 on groceries. Also i had my tea at my daughters mums which saved me a little :)

    Hi Adrian, just got the picture from your previous thread and all I can say is WOW, you've come such a long way. I've subscribed to your thread, I'm also on my DFW journey but only started my diary this week.

    Keep up the good work and I look forward to following your journey :O)
    Everything is ok in the end. If it's not ok, then it's not the end:)

    Every penny's a prisoner:p
