    Just made an appointment for my hair cutting (at the local college, natch). No idea what style I want though! I'm looking online but I think a lot of the ones I like will just make my face look even fatter and rounder. Although no matter what I ask for I always end up with the same cut, so I'm probably wasting my time looking!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
  • i got my truprint teddy today... pic of me n erin on it, it's lovely....

    so lovely i've gone on and ordered another one, with a pic of me n dawn on it... i thought i'd give it her as part of her Christmas. She's coming to mine so i've got her a stocking which i am going to try and fill with bits n bobs. She was telling erin that santa doesn't come to her house... which is quite sad innit.

    I also got a stocking for Golferman, bless him!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

  • Morning all!

    Designed my budget planner (for live on £4,000 a year) with formulas, in, out, balance and categories! I'm impressed with myself! And my first monthly meal plan! I have given myself a monthly budget of £60 for groceries (as its just me!) and everything in my meal plan comes to about £50 (i put it in tesco online) so that should leave a little extra for replacing cleaning/toiletries. Buying 1 pt milks to freeze so have milk throughout, includes tea/coffee/squah/butter. Shame its all planning and can't be put into practise yet. Oh well lets not wish time away could be back in the cold very soon!

    Is it sad im getting a bit excited about all these challenges lol! I have been reading about your sealed pot, congratulations! I fancy a Penny Pinching Penguin, i am thinking, balloon taped to a cheese spread container, with something like another balloon for its head? and half a kitchen roll holder for it wings, as long as allow enough room for the neck so the money can get through!

    Or maybe I've spent far to much time under the sun and am starting to lose the plot :rotfl:

    So my list for today,

    Put all cleaning stuff back in the cupboard under the sink (we had a leak)
    Tidy up from breakfast
    Dust

    Think thats it for today!

    Hi all, as some of you facebookers will know, I had a car accident Friday so I'm off work today, taking painkillers every two hours and generally aching.

    Bloke has just been to assess the car and it's a write off :(

    Oh Gem, at least you are ok, even if the car is a write off. Was the accident another persons fault?
