  • Ooh how exciting - that is a good price for highlights, c&b :)

    And I turned 27 a few weeks ago - had a minor "ohmygodwhereismylifegoingwhathaveIachieved?" crisis but it only lasted a day or so! DROWN THOSE THOUGHTS WITH CAKE AND VODKA!!!!

    Yea, I have now cleared 20% of my debts, I cant belive it, shows what some will power can do. But Ive spent to much money this month with lots of birthday treats to myself (bad Tasha). Need to be a bit carful now as I refuse to use my credit cards.

    My lovley boyfriend has booked me teeth whitening appointment for my birthday (Monday 13th April) as I wanted nice white teeth to match my new blonde hair. Hope it doesnt hurt, they said it doenst but I am a wimp.

    Cant wait for my long easter weekend off, I have so much course work to do, need to try and catch up.

    Also got some very good news, my company has agreed to sponser me to study for a degree, yyaaayyyyyyy.

    xxxx

    I’m back and more determined than ever!!!!!

    Hi Tasha,

    Just popped over from another thread (been looking for more diaries to lurk on) and just wanted to say you've done great with your debt busting!

    Scarily, my situation is quite similar to yours, got debt, OH hasn't even though earns less than me and has savings! My DFD is set for Dec 2010, but hoping to get it paid earlier. Will subscribe to your thread and look out for more muffin recipes x
  • Hey Tasha,

    Congrats on getting to 20%, that's great.

    How's the hair? xx
