Well done on getting BT cleared

Aren't beauty products and the like just so expensive, even to purchase the cheaper own brands! Makes me cross! But I bet you are now a glamorous 'non-grey rooted' 40SM now!

Must admit to going a bit mad in Boots yesterday . Bought my hair dye ANd some hair products ( mousse & hair spray) :o

They were Tresemme special offers though:p

Going from someone who used to buy lots of hair products , lotions & potions , make up etc to someone who now buys none of the aforementioned is a massive leap so the odd relapse is not too bad . I need to feel good about myself AND my hair really needs cutting ... so need the help where i can get it .

Yes , I am no longer grey rooted but I don't know about glamorous:rotfl::rotfl:. DH & my boys think I am beautiful so thats good enough for me;)

You are so right, them thinking you are beautiful and telling you so IS the most important thing.

Boots to girls is the equivalent of Whitherspoons to drinkers - so many offers you have to buy, buy, buy!

Thank you RMC:)


I must admit that I am lucky in that all of of my "boys" tell me I am beautiful each and every day .... even though I am not;)


Given half the chance I could go mad in "Boots":D... One Day

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! And so that means you are very very beautiful


Boots - I had so many points at one stage but that was because I shopped to get more points than to buy things I needed. Was in last week for hair dye and conditioner last week and bought boots own brand and paid with points............could feel the cosmic visit from Martin as I left!

Morning all :hello:

I have got the Monday morning "glooms":(. I have a really busy week ahead of me and I am not looking forward to it:(.

Moneywise ... I have just had to fork out £46.50 to the school for various clubs & trips:eek::eek:. This sending kids to school is an expensive business;)

The household pot has approximately £20 left in it to see us through to Friday. May be doable, we'll just Have to wait and see;)

Must get my butt in gear as i now should be at work:o


Have a good day all:D

Thanks Fay , you are an absolute star;):A

Hey you're alright yourself - glad the links were useful - at the end of the Mbaz thread there are a couple of links to other great threads too.

I thought of you today as I was making my own sausage and egg 'mcmuffins' - dunno what OH buys at McD's but we don't have any of those (as you know) and I do miss them - so I make my own version now - very MSE - never have done it before finding out about MSE

I hope you're good - glad you're glammed up again

Trips/fundraising'/music courses - bah! moneysucking schools - (no offence to schools here) but I wish they'd just send you a list at the start of the year with everything extra/money etc you need to find through out the year on it - so you can look - gulp and plan.

I need to pay BT as well so - ta for the reminder
