How much do you think we spend on food each week? £100

    What an astute young man! He will definitely go places when he is older. Good head on his shoulders!

    Well done Sam, although I do think there must be something you want to buy surely?

    haha this makes me laugh as since then he was pestering me for pocket money to go to an under 16’s night so he did more chores to earn money for that…and now he wants Fifa 15…so I’m guessing he wouldn’t save it until he was older after all!
    Thanks for having us Becky
