    I had to go to Mr T to buy DD's friend a birthday present and some sun cream for the DC. I saw a hair dye and scanned it at the price checker and it came up at £0.01. There were 2 on the shelf so I thought I'm having that. Couldn't scan it at checkout so girl took to cs and they scanned it at £0.01. She brought it back and told me to take it to cs. Over I went at it wouldn't scan again, so they wouldn't let me have it. So I absolutely failed miserably to spend any non budgeted money. Has God signed up to this thread or what?!
    My £10.20 is burning a hole in my pocket. Didn't even spend any money on posting my letter because I found a stamp!

    do you think you could do my weekly shop for me?
