I received my sure start grant yesterday...WOOHOO!! Didnt think for a minute I would be entitled to it, but applied anyway, and got the letter back on thursday to say yes you can have it, will be paid into your bank tomorrow (yesterday)
Anyway, I got a little bit TOO excited and went to "browse" round the shops
.....2 hours later I walk out of mothercare having spent over £200!!! And that was only on a few bits of clothing for E
I dont mind too much, cos it was money I wasnt expecting so dont feel like Ive wasted it. They just have so many cute winter clothes in at the moment, and Im loving the fact I can buy little dresses and skirts for her, its something Ive been waiting to do for the last 9 months
Anyway, then I felt guilty cos I spent all that money on E and hadnt bought anything for T!
So I then went into Next and spent another small fortune on buying stuff for him, and also got a few Christmas presents from ELC to ease my conscience. Had a lovely day, but on the way home checked my bank account and.....
OMFG, I am almost skint!
Please somebody stop me, my shopping is out of control
