    Monday blues :(!

    However, 4 days til payday woo! Putting £150 aside for my sisters birthday and paying off £75 to my overdraft bringing it down to £325. Also going to start my sons birthday shopping and looking for deals on his party which I swore I was stopping last year :P There is a combat city near my house and was thinking letting him pick 5 friends and they can go there. Will need to pop in this week to price it, after can come to our house and get like dominoes delivered or that.

    Oh and need to get the rest of my sons school uniform for going back. All I need to get is his jumpers/tshirt with school brand, normally £50 and then his school trainers. For them I usually go to Nike Outlet up East Kilbride :) xx
    Cannot wait to get started :).

    My older sister I booked the suite at the Crowne Plaza in Glasgow for her, all meals included. It is where she had her wedding reception for her and her husband and its their 5 year anniversary this year. They are going to decorate the room with balloons and champagne out, I will have the girls for a sleepover at mine. If I gave her money would spend on girls so I think she will like this. My brother in law knows and loves it!

    Overdraft down to £250.
    After work pay for party, get his school shoes and buy food to live on lol.

    Maybe I should set up a crowdfund page. Everything is money money money lol :(

    35 days until payday yikes!

    Also my best friend starting a job in mine 2 September its official. My mum is giving her the job. Been besties for 13/4 years and my mum loves her. xx
