Macgirl's "Stop Procrastinating and Get on with it" Diary

Ohhh I am so jealous of you getting to have a dolls house to paint!!! I am all Ben 10ed out with boys!!

Also jealous you can change a fuse and use an Allen key......super girl!!

macgirl

Thanks LT, it certainly is a relief!

Chops we are wall to wall pink - and I'm not exactly a pink kind of girl :cool:

It does come in handy though. One of the questions last night was to find a link between Aurora Borealis, Ariel washing powder, the jasmine flower and something else - anyway our friends (with 2 boys) looked dumbfounded. DH and I look at each other deadpan and both said "Disney Princesses" :rotfl:
And WE WON THE QUIZ!!!! :j

Despite not drinking last night, I've woken up with a hangover type headache. I missed my run, as I'm going to get my hair coloured at 8.40 and need to get the girl's ballet stuff sorted before then. I can't face the wrath of OH when I'm swanning about then breezily wave over my shoulder on my way to the hairdressers - so I need to get everything sorted before I go....

(I hate moaning about "men", but why it all that always "Mum's" responsibility????) *sigh*

Today, moneywise nothing much to report. I need to get my act together for more Ebaying and Amazoning.

Right, off to get some porridge (made with water :A) will be back later.

Have a good day x

Mums have a huge responsibility - if only the men actually realised once in a while what it is that we fit in, on top of a busy working week.....**bloody great big roll eyes smiley inserted here**

Have a good day, enjoy having your hair done - mine needs doing but I am reluctant to part with the cash.....I normally colour it myself but I really could do with the salon experience....magazines, coffee, et al!

Thanks. I always used to colour it myself, but it is dark brown - well with oceans of grey currently - and started to go that really fake black, with overlapping stripes where I can't see it, so I decided to get it done professionally.

I can't deny that I do love the cappuccino and gossip mags with a couple of hours p & q - blissful

hypno06

Mine is dark brown too, and thankfully up until recently I have had very little grey.....I have noticed over the last few days, though, that more grey is peeping through.....I blame OH entirely If my next self colour attempt doesn't cover it, then I will investigate the cost of my favorite salon.....

macgirl

I'm like Dickie Davis under the colour! :rotfl:

I'm only having it coloured today, not cut :money: so it will be around £30. However my friend goes to a local village salon and it's £24. Perhaps it's something you could budget in for you along with skiing. You need treats too

hypno06

Once I have my new budgets sorted for essentials, I will certainly be including more for me in one way or another - as I said on my thread, I have promised myself that I will spend money once a month on something that is for ME.....whether a new cushion that I have fallen in love with, or a haircut, or a pair of killer heels......:)

Just need to get that blasted budget done!

In_my_dreams

If I dye my own hair it ends up all over the bathroom and so I have to go to the hairdressers. My hair is almost black anyway so if I want any other colour I need the professionals! I have just noticed some grey coming through as well Hypno - I think we should blame the men

Fantastic you went for a run, I'm plodding out this morning!

Glad your washer works now, did you sort out your bank account. Sadly I didn't win Euromillions so I cannot share any with you....

I spent a night this week wearing night vision goggles playing hide and seak and then shooting the boys!!! I felt like that wierdo in Hanabal !!

It was good fun, but sometimes I long to just play dolls or colour quietly!!!

macgirl

I wouldn't say it was exactly quiet round these parts Chops!

I think the monthly treat is a good thing Hypno. I find even just perusing nice things and pretending I'll buy them another time works (sometimes).

Well, I am so pleased with myself, I've just got back from a 6 mile run! :j
The conditions were perfect for me - cold, damp with low visibility (due to thick fog). I didn't feel quite so exposed :cool: - apart from drawing necessary attention to myself in my hi-vis vest.
I enjoy it sooo much, I really need to shift myself more. The mental benefits far outweigh the physical. All my problems have melted away by mile 2 and I start to feel invincible. I'm going to try to go tomorrow afternoon too - doll's house renovation permitting!

The grey is gone, so I feel 10 years younger - well apart from the wrinkles, but they'll have to stay put, there's no budget for botox even if I wanted it!

After the hair do, I nipped into town and got some early Christmas pressies in Monsoon sale. I got 3 pairs of hand-warmers - like fingerless mitts that finish half way up your arm. They are lovely, light grey with little flecks of silver thread - reduced to £4.20 a pair! :money: :T So I was very pleased with that.

Then bought myself a top for tonight with a Christmas voucher. I'm going for a curry with some friends. Not very good dietwise, but I've "earned" 702 cals from my run - so have 892 to "spend"

Have a good evening all
