    I blame stress, my mum started going grey really early too, she's only 42 but the hairdresser thinks she's about 70-80% grey :eek: (needless to say she dyes hers too).

    I hope you can sort the computer out Jen. Anyhoo, I have to do some typing for my sister now, and I might be going to Ikea later to get a dressing table for my birthday present if it's in stock :).

    Morning all,

    I got a £2 bonus on Butlins and £4 each on littlewoods and ann summers! So yay free £10 for me. Must be to do with easter, maybe they will do it sunday and monday too!

    Not sure why so much though, Ann Summers always gives me at least a £1 each friday, sometimes £2!

    I am £1 away from withdrawing on Ann Summers now which is great as I have been playing the money on my scratchies recently :o Luckily I won a fiver on that one.
    Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month
