  • Cheers Sparky! We both seem to be on a roll. Well done you too.

    Been to gym this morning and then made some soup for lunch. DS2 is at a disco after school and doesn't need collected until 4.45pm, so I'm planning to take DS1 for a new school bag after I pick him up. Hopefully he'll choose a fairly cheap one! Yesterday I didn't spend anything apart from fat class, but today I've made up for it :o. Diesel £30, food shopping £30, paid for something my Sister really wanted for her wedding but didn't feel she could budget for it, £30. I'm slightly worried now I've realised that everything today has cost me £30 each. Doesn't bode well for a cheap school bag :rotfl:.

    Can you maybe pick up a school bag up on ebay?
    Not sure when your half term is?
    I seem to be leaking money at the moment too :(

  • Hope the school bag wasn't too expensive PLMBL! My kids were eyeing up these ones with monkeys on (they're probably a make but I don't know what!) and they were nearly £30 each... imagine £60 on school bags :eek: I managed to persuade them to get an £11 one ha!!

    Awwww im glad DS was ok when he had his tooth out xx

  • Hope the school bag shopping way was short of the £30! Very sweet of you to treat your sister, I am sure that meant an awful lot to her.

    At least the other £30 spends are part of your budget! xx
