Ooops!

Olivah · Ooops!

I've spent a lot on my Debit this month!

Well, here is the problem, my Bank Statement comes in just over a week and my parents like me to go through it with them sometimes.

They'll be really weewee at me! What should I do?!

Help me, people of wisdom!

Thanks

What've you spent money on, and how much?

Surely as it's your own money they won't mind.

Olivah

I've spent about £130 or something on eBay, birthday presents and a little treat for myself.

I still have some in the bank as they give me £30 pocket money a month but they'll be pretty annoyed at me for spending over that, but I could probably think up some reasons.

Tell them before rather you tell them than them find out themselves.

talk about a spending spree.

if so sound pleased and tell them that the money you spent was a good deal!

Olivah

Thanks everyone!

It's been sorted...
Grabbed my statement before parents saw it and took 'lambojack's' advice and burned it on my open fire!

That was fun!

Lol my parents never asked me what I was spending my money on. They're only looking out for you I guess as you'll need to try and be careful with the pennies when you first move out or go to uni. Maybe they weren't good with money when they were younger and want you to be the opposite?

I hate feeling like I've spent too much, spent about £450 this month...
