Thats another fine mess I got myself into

Lemon_Tree

i keep thinking about having a new hair do but then i try to be realistic and i know i will grow it just back to what it is now. Will start home colouring again as just can't afford the hair dressers.

I grow my hair because I want it long then tie it up so decide to cut it short then hate it so grow it back. It's currently shoulder length (I'm growing it after having it all cut off short!)

Woowoo

My best friend is a hair dresser, so thankfully get a lot of freebies or I would have been forced to return to my natural mousie brown after my LBM!

Phew, just about managed to catch up.

Glad you got all the finances tied in together, will probably make you feel more in control now you know the true figure you're dealing with. Has you OH got more involved with the finances now, my OH has stepped back a little but is still on the ball, I just find it really stressful when he gets moody about it but hey ho!

Glad you like your hairdo, makes you feel a lot better about things when you look good

I am huffing - with myself!

Whinge alert (again) - I 'debated' about buying myself a yummy salad yesterday because it cost £5! I come home to find fairy liquid purchased from local shop at £1.49 (we have big bottle of stardrops in cupboard) and biscuits at £1.59 AND dog food (small tin) at 48p! And that is just what I found.
Then he tells me he 'had' to pay a supplier £100 - as you ladies know we never 'have' to pay anyone...........we pay when we can.................then he tells me he paid mechanic £40 and that he also bought packaging (the only thing I did know he had to get)
Now please tell me !!!!!! is the point of me trying to manage finances when he f**ks off and pays whoever he likes and spends money without thinking about it - what is the point of me working out to the penny who to pay and when if he just does his own thing.
But then (in soppy dicky voice) he doesn't understand money!

And I got up this morning to lift two pairs of shoes and dirty socks and then into bomb site of a kitchen because the fairies forgot to load dishwasher!

There are only two of us here and it seems he does all the messing and I do all the cleaning

Of course he is upstairs sleeping he little head off while I am up and angry!!!!!!!

How do I change this/him/it

Desperate_to_be_debt_free

Oh Red I wish I had all the answers for you. I've been down this week as well, I seem to be working every single hour going for overtime and I come home to find out that DS has run up a mobile phone bill of nearly £200. How can we make other people understand that in order to get out of debt EVERYBODY needs to be on board.

I'm sure if he can see how angry and upset you are he'll change your ways (I know it's a long shot but never say never!)

Keep your chin up hun, your doing just fine and he will come round to your way of thinking one day.x
