yep wanted them to reward myself after getting a pay rise and new job. but though 99 was steep, then gold prices went up so they went up and i thought i will never get them, then about to go home after buying myself some boots i needed and thought, might just check what price they are in the sale.... £25!! IMAGINE my surprise and delight! so happy! this is what they look likeIF YOU THINK YOU ARE SO CLEVER, THEN WHY ARE'NT YOU RICH?

14 nsd For me
Although I did spend today I'm not including it as it was a one off trip to the next big town. The kids needed feet measured, did well there although they have only just gone up a size (on the boarder line for old size). I managed to get 2 pairs of trainers and one pair of school shoes in the sale. The other one needed full price school shoes, but the lady did try with all the shoes in the sale in the right size. Nothing was a good fit as so narrow feet.
The rest of the money was spent on bus fare, few bargin bits, a weekend size suit case, oldest has two over night trips this year. And brunch, we got there early to avoid the crowds we didn't have breakfast. We spent a lot less than we normally do so I'm impressed.
Kids had there own christmas money to spend.
We tend to only go to the next main town 3 or 4 times a year, mainly for school shoes so its a day out as well as essencial shopping.0 -
