Yep, see she has her poppy (read ATM) who spoilt her rotten. I wrote her a list of 3 WHOLE things to do Melb Cup weekend so she could buy herself a new swimsuit. What does she do? Calls poppy who says heres $40 and goes back to her room to read. Even though I told her how much help it would be for me, and that I would have more TIME to go shopping with her.

Poppy has been told. Poppy now understands. Nan and her dad will not give her money either, but I don't think she will believe that. She thinks we will all cave in, and we won't and now she is going to work it out in the worst way......I don't want her to miss out. I think the formal (and all the shiny things that go with it) was a good way to reward her for her good marks this year.

ggrrrrrrraaahhhhhhh
