Grrr so close to paying off one more debt

Only £23.40 to go on it and I could have done it but Asda had school uniform and as 3 of my kids are off to new schools in September it was all needed :(

    Surely, you really don't need to buy the uniforms until late August....
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Would rather buy them now while they were so cheap tbh-everyone buys them in August and then it can be hard to get the sizes-at least I have most of it now.A lot got handed down but my youngest is a boy and all the others are girls so can't hand anything bar a few sweatshirts down.

    Sadly I rarely sit on the sofa so the only things I am likely to find there are crumbs and kids toys LOL.

    I worked in retail for a decade and more than once I've seen security/management escort customers off the premises after having to break up a physical fight. Honestly worse than some of the drunk rugby team fights I've had to break up during my years behind a bar!
