Its been a while

Hello everyone

well its been a while

- broken internet

- laptop virus

- illness

blimey its been one thing after another here

but im back

ive missed bloggy world

So nothing major really here, still plodding on, scrimping, saving, being frugal and paying off debts

but we are all happy so no problems here

all the illness has finally decided to bugger off- thank chuffing goodness :)

such a lovely weather change to, that really brightens thing up no end

My son was desperate for some new t shirts and he had some money saved from christmas/birthday/easter  and it was burning a hole in his pocket, so i allowed him to spend it on what he wanted too....shock horror he has taken a liking to R*ver I*land, he came home with 1 pair of jeans and 1 t shirt for £50 chuffing pound...thought id taught him better but i allowed him to go and enjoy his spend

yes it was a lovely t shirt but not worth the £16 price tag, since discussing with him the cost of living and the price of fashion i asked him if he'd like to look on ebay with me to see if we could find any R*ver I*land t shirts that took his fancy, i assured him they would be well washed by me and would be like new one laundered and ironed -ok mum was the answer so we looked

we managed to find 4 lovely t shirts all in the style he loved and we got the lot including postage for £12.50

winner

one happy mum and one happy son

phew

a mighty saving from new of £64.00 we saved £51.50

my kind of shopping
