I went with DH to the car boot this morning to get my steps in. I didn't buy anything. We then traipsed around various supermarkets to get the remaining uniform. I think we're almost there now, there's just a few bits that I will order online as we couldn't get them in store.
We've done the family haircuts this morning. (I do theirs, DH does mine).
Hoping to just chill this afternoon, and then have a quiet day doing stuff at home tomorrow."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee3 -
