Margie, Jiina and I went shopping to Geneva to top up the tuck shop. We tried to find out what the girls liked and we went to buy lots of nice things with the money from the last tuck shop. We tried to buy new things like popcorn, jelly candies, and some international food and we made up the new prices. The girls love it! Ayaka A & Margie M
