    Thats good news about the perfume.

    We get sent the catalogues every 3 months, but i don't think we get charged for them, i will have to check the statements. I know they do charge for them, but i thought because we were an account customer we got them free, i best check lol. OH has never said anything, so they must be free!

    Yeah i agree, try and save up the deposit and keep the house savings in the bank. How long do you think it will take before you have enough for deposits/first month rent? So many properties are up for rent at the mo, i think thats what everyones doing, renting their home out rather than selling it with the current climate.

    My OH likes the retail part of Lakeside, just doesn't like the shopping centre. You having Ikea near by will be very handy too hun. They do some good stuff in there, ideal for first homes.

    Evening,

    I had a rubbish day at work today, it would of been fine but we work with a absolute drama queen! Who doesnt like a bit of hard work, she kicks up such a fuss at the slightest of things. Then causes huge arguements between all the workers, but acts like a saint around and towards the management. grrrrrr:confused: having PMT really isnt helping either! :rotfl:

    I had a spend today of £11, on two brown hair dyes and some shower gel. Yet again im hoping to dye my hair brown, as im bored of being blonde and know people say not to bleach your hair when preggers so i want to get used to being brunette now!
    Ive tried before but it just goes ginger because blonde to brown is a big step and the colour just doesnt take well on blonde hair as its doesnt have pigment.

    But hey ho im going to try at the weekend!:o

    Ive done nothing in the way of extra money making today, i might have some time to do a review before bed though.;)

    Its the start of the weekend!!:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Not much planned for this weekend. OH has a 1st birthday party to go to of his work mates 2moz, i was invited too but have a huge spot on my forehead and really dont want his work mates who ive never met to see me with this massive lump on my head. OH isnt too happy with me, but im shy at the best of times, with this on my head i would be so embrassed!:o

    I didnt have enought time to do a review last night, so have just wrote one, I might even be able to squeeze in another tonight.;)

    Morning,

    OMG dyed my blonde hair mahogany last night and it hasnt come out fantastic. It looks like faded cooper/red/mahogany. It took the the roots and underneath of hair no problems, but didnt take to the lengths of hair on the top layer properly, you can see that it was blonde if you get me. But i knew it probably wouldnt as blonde to any other colour never works first time round as blonde doesnt have any pigment in it. So luckly i dont have to go anywhere this weekend and can use the 2nd pack of dye on it which will hopefully coat the hair properly on sunday night.:o:o

    Ive only just realised though that my colours now dont go with my new hair colour. After years of knowing what colour clothes go best with my hair colour i now dont have a clue! And my expensive blonde shampoo, conidtioner and hairspray are now useless!:rolleyes:

    Anyway money wise...

    Ive just done 2 surveys! yes this early in the morning!

    Im also going to look through my bits again, for more things to list on dreaded Ebay.

    I didnt manage another review last night as i was too busy starring at my hair in the mirror!:rotfl:So will try and write another review this morning.

    Afternoon,

    I cant believe how fast this weekend has gone! Monday 2moz already!

    And im dreading going to work 2morrow as my hair is awful!:confused: I washed it 3 times yesterday and so far once this morning trying to fade out the awful cooper colour! All the brown has gone and im just left with coopery/red with blonde coming through. It looks an absolute state! Ive read that anti-drandruff stips your the colour out of hair so im using that plus my blonde shampoo's. Im going to keep washing and trying to fade what i can out of it for the week and then try to dye it back blonde again. (it will probably go bright orange then).

    Apart from scrubbing my hair i havent done much esle. i stayed over my OH's last night, i ran through the downstairs hoping his parents wouldnt see my hair but his mum did!:o:o

    Ive got some bits to list on Ebay later on this evening, and ive also done another Dooyoo review.

    Hey Maria,

    Oh no, sorry to hear about the hair, hows the colour looking now? Do you have any training salons near you? because they are all college trainees they are really cheap. I've been once before and i was lucky enough to get a gay guy who was wonderful, paid £25 for cut & colour. Obviously there is that risk, but they could correct your colour for you without paying silly money at a salon.

    Hiya, Hope you have managed to sort your hair out! I have bleached mine for years and am thinking of going back brunette. Might go to hairdressers after your problems. Hope it is all sorted now and your hair is looking fab!

    Hi all,

    Thanks girls, but the hair is still looking awful!:confused:But i can see the funny side! I new there was a big risk it would go cooper/ginger. But still i tried and not for the first time either that ive tried to go brunette!I just g et so bored it looking the same as i always have since i was at school!:rotfl::o

    It really fading fast but still has cooper roots as the roots were darker than the rest of my hair before i dyed it. Yes there is training colleges near by but i will give it another week see how it looks then. As at work i tie it back and dont really see many people so i can put up with it for a while longer!:o

    Deffo go to the hairdressers if changing from blonde to brown wendy, it will either go kahki or ginger! Unless you strip it first (which i didnt!)

    Did you enjoy your break away hayley?? That went quick!
