    Crush, add to slightly softened ice cream and refreeze, Then go :EasterBun :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    All dime bars gone :o

    Anyway took girls shoes and clothes shopping, spent over £300 :eek: £88 was in clarkes alone. Not budgetted for so has caused an over spend :o

    My school shoes are all sorted, plus we all had several items for summer. We went to the local factory shop outlet (for Clarkes, Marks and Spencers, Next etc) then nipped to Matalan.

    Think most of money was dd1, who merrily went off in matalan and returned with a basket of clothes, she'd already had 2 pairs of clarkes and fleeced me in the banana bookstore for school stuff. Think ive gone soft. We did have quite a lot for the money though. DD3 got some nice next sunglasses for £2

    NO MFW news though.
