Lallan's Live Shopping / Spending Report

[lallan]

Hi Guys,

I'm Louise and I like to shop lol

We arrived on Tuesday night and I've decided I'm gonna share a wee mini shopping/spending report to show you all where our dollars go.

I'm not one for taking pics of food but I do like to photograph my purchases to send to my mum lol

We're a family of 5 and our daily budget is $250 a day. This is for all food,parking,petrol and shopping. I have an extra $500 to treat myself for my birthday. Our 3 boys are 11,8 and 4. The older 2 have $300 each that they saved themselves and from grandparents and the younger one has $50. We're in a villa in Lindfields with my in laws and 2 nieces who are 18 and 11. We have my hubby's brother, sister in law and our 2 nieces 15 and 11 coming over next week staying in a separate villa.

I'm also noting how many miles we walk each day so will include this here too.
