    Thanks lovely. How're you doing? Xx
  • Have bought the kids new uniforms for their new schools.....£145 has gone on the BC. That should be it for a while and it can remain in the background while I concentrate on the MBNA.

    Uniform is so expensive! No chance of a second hand sale at either new school?

    DD's wasn't too expensive that was £40, DS's was the worst as its secondary school but what we've got him should last him until Year 10, he'll probably only need a new blazer and tie.

    DD will however need her secondary school uniform but I'm hoping once we're settled, I can fund it by selling off her new primary school uniform as it'll only be 3-4 months old.
  • Morning,

    Off to DD's school this morning, we think she may have had Slapped Cheek the latter part of last week, although her cheeks weren't red on Saturday, she does have a rash on her arms but no symptoms of Slapped Cheek? I think it's viral as it goes down with antihistamine.

    So on to this week:
    DD becomes an official Guide on Wednesday
    Out for drinks on Thursday after work as colleague leaving
    Oh and it's my birthday tomorrow so need to get cakes for the office

    Aiming for a very low spend week this week.
