    I bet I could make you feel better about the haircut if I told you how much mine costs to have done. I practically cry when I hand over my Switch card.

    I could get you mates rates if you have the clippers on it! :D

    How often do you get it done! I was paying £7 a fortnight but gone down to £9 every 4 weeks now! :T

    Debt sucks! You'll meet a lovely lady hairdresser soon though I'm sure :)

    I'm jumping back on board the DFW wagon again now - I'm seeing totals drop like lead balloons and mine hasnt gone anywhere yet except down the high street for a shopping trip :(

    £25 month for mine :eek: - and I would love to be able to have it highlighted but that would double the cost.

    Every 2-3 months but I have highlights so it costs a fortune (yeah I know... we all have our vices though :D )

    Clippers :eek:

    Xmas, new curtains, college course, fees for my flat :rolleyes: . I think the problem is I've been relying on the MB stuff coming in and not saving any extra :o .

    Thats the thing ain' it! I'm kind of getting used to have a few hundred in my account even at the end of the month and am semi reluctant to use it towards the debts! :o

    Will just have to open more betting accounts! :rolleyes:
