    Aw its the worst!!! Feel alive now!

    Cashed in more amazon vouchers so can get my boys lego dimensions starter pack set aside for his birthday!:) ordered now and going to get few expansion packs. Forgot I have a £10 argos voucher so can use that. After that will get him another controller for the PS4. Then will see what next to save for. Also thinking about his Christmas.

    Due to get £7.50 I get per month for US survey site I was lucky to join so that will go to his party. Every pound helps :)! will most likely get in next week or so I think.

    My mum phoned and said she will give me some money towards his school uniform I got in for my boy. Whatever I get some will go to his slip on shoes for inside school and gym shorts (think ones I got him last year and never worn are still too big lol! so skinny so he is now!) Anything left will go towards his party :) xx

    Was talking to my aunt and she says she will give me £150 to his party. So going to bite bullet and just pay for it all off on Monday. Will be a tighter month but least thats one thing out the way and I am sorted out for his party and dealt with.

    If I start moaning later this month about being skint ... remind me my "bright" idea....lol xx
