Evening Potterssssssssssssssssss
Well Dear Uncle came over on sunday and gave me 2 x £2 coins and then just as he was going home yesterday handed DH another 1 x £2 coin to give to me :eek: bless him, he's really taken my love of those shiny little gems to heart, he wont spend them and he wont let me swap for them either (I keep trying to make him but he wont have it).
Did the dreaded school shoe run, DS is now a size 8 :eek: and was pleasantly surprised that his shoes cost me £45 as last year they were £60! and DD still fits last years shoes :j :j so double saving
. Downside (or upside depending on how you look at it) found some perfect shoes for when her feet do grow with proper built in arches (that she has to have as shes flat footed so she gets a lot of pain in flat shoes) BUT . . they are £75!! :eek: :eek: soooooo, money being put aside for half term when I think she'll be big enough to fit them . .
DD did manage to scam me into buying her an adidas jacket though (I firmly blame her brother! teenagers and their expensive fashion!!). Little sister has to look exactly the same as her idol, big brother so a big tear filled face and pouty sad lip later, teeny bopper gets herself a £55 [STRIKE]piece of tat[/STRIKE] highly coveted fashion statement jacket . . . hasn't been off her body since
Anyway, so 3 x £2 coins in the tin plus I have 1 more in my purse to join them
£2 coin tin is getting mightily full! must fill it by November!!

I've potted around $12 this week, it's really starting to add up. Unfortunately I've also spend more money than I would like (my way of procrastinating uni essays).
Haha i was luckily friends with the housemate before I moved in Sue, but I'll admit that I got really lucky with the way things are.Number 495
