    Have a good day, Benben - don't spend too much time chatting up guys - you have an AQA target to reach, remember ;)

    Hi BenBen

    We were down your way yesterday, DD wanted to go to the beach, she had a great time, even took off her wellies and socks.

    Good news about AQA doing well and all those vouchers... wow!

    Have a good time at your Mum's x

    Hi benben good to see you back. Hope you both enjoyed it -especially spending the money !! Did you spend at least some of it on yourself ? You deserve it. XX

    I had a great time at my mums but spent tonnes of money and on stuff I shouldn't have spent it on really ..... :o:o:o:o

    £28 on train fare to get there, £12 travel to/from london, £20 pair of boots, £19 primark - trousers, jumper, scarf and tissue paper for xmas hampers, £10 lunch (friend paid for dinner), £12 for aveda hair serum, have been promising mysel fsome for months but nowhere near here sells it, £3 xmas decoration for ds (buy a new one each year), £5 snacks / magazines on train ...

    then today when i got back I had to go to tesco and spent £30 on food and £20 on petrol :rolleyes:

    Okay, now tonight I will be sorting out my finances (can't believe theres another week until we get paid :eek: ) .... and sorting out how much money I need to find to get my account back to zero :o:o .... oh, and hopefully I will be chatting to both cutie guys too :D:D

    thanks elidee ... all the clothes were for me which is pretty unusual for me, usually they're for ds ... I think I'm more annoyed with the amount thats been spent on travel and on junk (food / magazines etc), I know I don't normally spend much on that sort of stuff but it just seems such a waste of money :rolleyes:
    Oh, and I also spent another £3.30 on the bus from the train station :mad:
