    Hi KM,

    Good moneysaving idea but im not very good when it comes to hairdressers after some girl chopped off my locks once. So i like to stick where i know and to the same hairdresser! I suppose i could have a dry cut as they told me long hair gets charged more as its takes longer to wash and dry...oh and straighten! But its not often i go there so always have a wash and cut.

    Oh when you said wash and cut I thought you meant they didn't even dry it :o £30 for cut & blow and straightened on long hair is pretty average I would say :D

    Well there isnt any pictures of the inside of the house. But i would love to buy house in need of updating, you know owned by a granny needing a lick of paint. But obviously not a house with cracks in the walls! Lol.


    I know we should wait and save, save more and buy at cheap prices. But what about my mental health! :)

    Lol! Yeah sorry wash,cut and blow dry and straighten!

    Work has done something wrong with my tax charged me 3 times the amount that i normally pay! Not happy about that! So will be sorting that out 2moz.

    Family life is getting worse with my dad and really getting me down. He talks and treats me like a bit of poo. Not sure how much more i can take of him.:confused:

    Afternoon,

    Its my nephews 1st birthday today :D , i was suppose to be going to his party this afternoon but im not feeling too well. Ive got a horrible headache and just feel really rough today. So im staying at home, as im not sure my headache could hack a 1 year old screaming at me and a 4 year old running about wanting me to play with him. Im going to there christmas day anyway so not a long wait to see them.

    How could i have forgotten to write about my OH's xmas bonus!? He got £2155 bonus in his wages! he was taxed quite alot for it though! Think he said £900 tax for bonus and months wages altogther. This money has gone straight onto his debt and his now debt free! W hoo!

    Yeap his going to budget a set amount every month to go straight into his ISA/saving account. I think he said £700 a month he will be putting away. Which will be brill, with my money every month we should be putting £1100 a month away. I reckon he will probably start Feb 09 though, so he can have a spending month in Jan now his out of debt.As he needs Clothes and that.

    Heres looking forward to 2009! :)
