    I get my eyebrows waxed, yes it hurts but it's over and done with quickly and the result it fab, I love it! x

    Me too, it doesn't hurt that much, honest.
    I have enormous eyebrows and get them waxed every 3 weeks, it makes me feel so
    much better as I hate plucking.

    Hmm, I just hate the thought of paying money for something thats gonna hurt :o

    I collected ds from school tonight and he's had another nosebleed :( We stopped off at the doctors on the way home as they have a drop-in kids service after school and we only had to wait 10 minutes. The doctor said not to worry for now but if they carry on they'll do a bloodtest. It meant we missed his swimming lesson again.

    I posted the ebay item and have come home to find another one has sold, so thats another £6 into the pot and another trip to the post office tomorrow ;) I've had a splitting headache all day today so am hoping to get an early night in tonight :)

    I've already had my bath so am on track for an early night :) Today I have been good with what I've eaten and I haven't bitten my nails. I drunk loads of water at work but need some more tonight too :D

    Just checked the mortgage calculator and I only need to find about £8 to get rid of another month off the mortgage :)

    I've finally made some sense of the tax credits letter I got and the good news is that in Feb and March I will be getting an extra £125 :beer: I might use some of it towards the £10 a day pot but may also treat myself with something too :)

  • You are doing so well on the money front BB, well done. I hope DS nosebleeds clear up soon. Your halifax account, do you have to pay something every month for it or is it fee free with the £5 given to you each month?
    Make £10 a day challenge - January 2023 = £292.89/£310 - Feb 2023 = £677.09/280 - March 2023 = £102.45/£310 - April = £300.12/300 - May 2023 = £306.80/£310 - June = £245.88/£150 - July = £295.45/£310 - August 2023 £51.56/£310

    You have to pay £1000 into it each month WS, I transfer it in and then transfer it back out again the next day. You don't need to keep it in there and you don't need your direct debits transferred or salary paid in to it etc. As long as you put in £1k a month you get a £5 bonus payment :) A very easy £60 over the year ;)

    I sooo know where you're coming from there - always feel that way about paying for a scale and polish:D <---- look how clean they are though!

    Hope DS's nose bleeds stop soon.
