    - HC quick 30 and dry on airers
    - Take neighbour's keys back

    Hi guys -

    1) Paid £11 for DD to have her hair cut - she now looks about 20 :eek:!( She is 13!)
    2) Had my hair cut for free ( by my Mum :o)
    3) Banked money from expenses
    4) Bought more bits from Boots clearance section. I know this saves money in the long run, but I really must try to knock this habit on the head for a while.
    5) Watched the Red Arrows from my front garden
    6) Did loads of hokey cokey ready for packing in the morning.
    7) Had a visit from in-laws who are staying in Bmth for the Air Festival. Will meet them later for dinner and go into town for free air festival frivolity. ( Although it is peeing down :()
    8) Cashed in Walkers points for free activities on holiday, and found Gary for a free point.
    9) SC x 10p
    10) Survey
    11) Got a huge free bottle of squash from Mum who didn't like it.
    12) Hopefully watch The Tudors for free entertainment when I get in. Can't wait!

    Enjoy your Friday nights everyone!
