    Do you have the area numbed first? I want to have a tattoo on my foot and I've got some people telling me to have the area numbed and some people telling me not to bother, so I'm very confused as it will be my first tattoo:o

    I didn't have either of mine numbed and I wasn't offered the option either :confused: Not heard of that before, I wouldn't want it numbed though, it really isn't that horrendous (mine are on the bottom of my back)

    It depends on your sensitivity to pain really. It's a strange type of pain too. Once the tattooist stops it stops hurting, then you've just the healing to contend with (this is obviously worse the bigger the tattoo). I'm a sadistic cow though, I like tat pain! lol

    Hi Sar :D

    So glad you're back (although I would be happier about it WITHOUT the spider talk/pics)

    K is getting SO big.

    I am loving the tattoo and you are inspriring me to do the same thing. One for my mum and one each for the girls. I'm thinking stars (shooting for mum flying over smaller two for girls done in the colour of thier birthstones) or lillys.

    Morning all. Child benefit day for us today so our TV savings have been bumped up a bit :) The savings won't stay like that in my sig though as have £60 for my tat to come out of that. Went for a run with the Dster last night before settling down to do OU work. Managed to finish a chapter so only one more to go til I've caught up. Need to practice some bass today as didn't get chance to do any last night.
    Weather is miserable as sin here but going to go running again tonight. Using a little and often approach. :) No other real plans for the day, will see what happens I guess!

    Right off to make a cuppa.

    Morning, weather awful here too. Well done on the savings - even with the £60 taken out, you are over a fifth of the way there. Is it October it has to be paid by? Have you got a plan in place, or an idea of how much you can save by then?

    It's very hard to get a plan together as I don't know what I'll be earning week to week with AS. Going to have a look today and see what's what though. :)

    Well I've had a quick mooch at the savings prospects for aug/sept.. and maximum (not including AS) works out like this.

    Aug
    3 x tc = £102.60
    CAB expenses = £61.20

    Sept
    4 x tc = £136.80
    CB = £125.40
    CAB expenses (max) = £73.44

    = £499.94

    - £180 to make up for childcare (not inc ste wages in this as it pays for childcare plus part of the child benefit)
    - £60 for tat

    = £259.94

    + £279.84 in savings now
    + £20 on way from paypal

    = £559.78

    £395.22 to find by october... hmmmmmm
