    Looks like there is a great line up so should be great fun and we get a free bbq and drinks so should be a good day,fingers crossed for the weather.

    I have just been up to the post office as realised yesterday had sold something on amazon Wed and was supposed to post by Friday,oops! Has gone now though. At least it sold though!

    I have got the hairdressers at 12.Is one by my new flat so am trying it out, my sister said she thought was good.

    OH is sleeping as he is on nights so might do a bit of cleaning/sorting this afternoon.

    Thanks Hayles!

    I had such a good day at t4 on the beach. The VIP area was so cool, got to meet a few celebs as Hayles mentioned! Gilly from Hollyaoks was lovely and Gok was a bit diva like but what do you expect hehe. WE had free drink and food and a good view of the stage, we could just wander down to the front bit right in front of the stage too which was so cool. A lovely free day out anyway!

    Had my hair cut Sat and looks nice, bit shorter than has been but looks a lot healthier. I rebooked for two months time as they give you 10% off, is quite a reasonable priced place too.

    Haven't really got much else news, hope you all had a great weekend.

    Not much to report this week really. Haven't spent too much but going to go to Topshop tomorrow lunch and see if I can find myself a new bag yay!

    I have had this horrible blocked up head thing since I came back off holiday. I have had it before and was told was allergic rhinitis so have got some spray to try and sort it out as is driving me mad.

    I am 10p away from withdrawing from my scratchcards so that will be good.

    These days i only ever get 10p on the scratchcards, i stopped doing it for a while as it was taking so long but im back on it again now!

    I hope the spray does the job.

    Well I was going to withdraw the money from the scratchcards but my card has expired so couldn't get it and wouldn't let me add another card until i have less than a pounds, so played away the money and will have to add new card and start again grrr.

    Apart from that I had a good weekend. I went down to Southampton to see family/friends. Spends weren't too bad, had to get petrol and we went out sat night but only bought a couple of drinks. Then went to cinema Sunday to see Eclipse which I loved. I am a bit Taylor Lautner Fan hehe.

    I didn't end up going to get a bag but have been a bit naughty last couple of days. Yesterday OH and I ended up buying new pillows, a new duvet set and matching cushions and a new mattress protector. The bed does look very nice though. Then today i ordered a top , dress and necklass in the miss selfridge sale.

    I did manage to change our egyptian money we had left back but wasn't worth much. Helped a bit though.Need to be careful now with money for next couple of weeks as am not drastically short but am running low.

    Ah no, thats what happened to me with OH's account apart from we had £200 winnings so called to change the card but thats when they decided to kick him off for abuse to the system. grr.
    It takes ages aswell now to gte upto a tenner. They should send an email before the card expires.

    That's why i didnt want to just phone but it seems to be letting me add another one as i have a low balance so will see what happens!

    My clothes came from miss selfridge yesterday, only ordered them Tues! Really like it all so will be keeping them all. One was a cream dress that was reduced from 35 to 12 so that was a bit or a bargain.

    I am meant to be going to Uderbelly tonight on the southbank. Is a sort of outdoor thing where a couple of bands perform (haven't heard of them). We are in VIP again though yay so free food and drink. Cannot complain at the perks to my job.

    Is two weeks to payday today. Not doing too bad moneywise. This weekend should be cheapish as already got petrol and am just at a bbq at OH's Mum's and then out to pub with mates but am driving so will just have a couple of lemonades.

    Well I have had a good cheap weekend. We came down to Southampton this weekend to visit family and friends. We went to see oH's family yesterday , his Mum, sisters and nieces. His nieces are too cute! We took the 3 year old to the shop and she said to me 'are you and Uncle Daryl best friends?' bless her!

    Also yesterday evening I went to the pub and then to this bar/club with some friends but i drove and none of us were really drinking but we had a good dance even though we were sober hehe. Only bought myself one coke so very cheap night.

    I have just been checking budgets and I am not doing too bad. My sister gave me some money to drop her in Portsmouth when we came down Friday so that is going towards petrol today. That should last me till payday.

    I weighed myself this morning and wasn;t as bad as I though it may be. I am going to try and lose the 7lbs that I want to lose to get to where I want to be. So will be lots of healthy eating and will probably join the gym when I get paid.

    Hope you have all had a great weekend.
