Ha ha ha! Love it! Lock it and lose the keys! Brilliant!
oh how brilliant! Elizabeth is so cute in the picture!
I want to know where mummy got her car from too! 😉
awww bless her that did make me smile. what a great post and she has a gorgeous smile x
How cool that she knows what Thrifty means! I do so wish that cars cost £1! 😀
Oh I love this! What a cutie Elizabeth is. I am very impressed she knows what thrifty is. My almost 5-year old would not have a clue, which I hope does not say more about me than it does about him 🙂
‘Put it in a money box, lock it and lose the keys’ = genius, but however much is in there, spend it on cuddly toys obvs. Love this series! :o)
Bless! I wish I could put some money away in my money box and then lose the keys! There is plenty of time to learn thrifty tips and I love that at such a young age Elizabeth has a really good idea of what being thrifty means x
I love this series! It makes me giggle. I will have to ask Erin just to see what she comes up with!
Sound advice – throw away the key!
Love your interviews with the little people it’s adorable to read their replies
Haha, another brilliant post! And what an absolute cutie Elizabeth is, such a great photo x
You know what, I think Laura probably could get away with £20 a week to feed her family, she does it on a shoestring, lol Mich x
This is so sweet…I need one of those cars, the name of that supermarket and an invite to view the cuddly toy collection to see if it rivals my own!
