    Its snowing!

    I have a confession- booked in for a hair cut with an apprentice for today for a top-notch salon- paid £12 for an amazing hair cut (dead chuffed) but was naughty! Really fancied a starbucks to perk me up, then saw a big issue guy (i religiously buy this- i know its not necessary but big bro has bipolar schizophrenia and was homeless for a few years so is close to my heart) as i had no change i asked him if he wanted a hot drink and went and bought us both a drink (on my debit card)

    A bit naughty but think i saved so much money (usually pay 65-75 min for hair cut and colour) and he seemed really happy (and it has made me smile all day) so im counting it as funds in my happiness bank and well spent.

    I am going to count the £40 saved on hair (thats after the coffee splurge and the foray into Lush- I'm weak!) in my total as really pleased. If anyone is from Oxford area I can give you the apprentices no as he asked me to pass it round as he has to complete a certain amount of bookings to pass, plus he was dead good!


    :)
    First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
    New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!

    Kittenkirst, that is such a good thing to do :A
    It's so not a splurge, it's just being a good person and good karma will come your way, well done you :)

    I think that was really nice of you in this weather,and it is a different kind of payment.You paid it forward as they say,hope the good karma brings the same kindness you showed that gentleman.Wish everyone was like you.

    Antique selling sounds quite good although i would not have the first clue where to start:rotfl:
    go to your local library if they are anything like mine they have books on antiques that also contain prices
    also visit your local charity shop or jumble sale youll find loads of potential antiques there

    also contact your local auction house they can give you info on how to sell
