    hi hypno glad you are looking after yourself. Enjoy the pampering tomorrow.

    I have a cleaner - luckily she does 3.5 hours a week for £23 so not bad at all. It makes the world of difference to us... I think it is definitely worth having if you can make it possible

    Hopefully, I can get away with just buying bread, milk, coffee and catfood this week, plus obviously fresh fruit and veg for the month ahead,

    You know, every now and again my mum will make a massive batch of dog food (rice with chicken and veg in) and our dog LOVES it, and scarfs it down in half the time the time it takes to eat her normal food. I think it's fairly balanced and it isn't filled with all the nasty filler and bad cuts of meat they put in dog food, and mum says that it works out much cheaper than making buying normal dog food from the shops as she freezes it and defrosts it as and when.

    A thought for your moggie, perhaps? ;)

    Good Morning All and Happy New Hair Day Hypno!

    It's a glorious morning here - hope it stays that way :)
    I keep promising myself a cleaner when I'm DF and we move, but TBH, the actual cleaning doesn't bother me, it's the endless putting away piles of "stuff" that drives me round the bend - wonder if I can employ a putter-awayer......

    Anyway, sorry to digress - enjoy your hair experience - looking forward to hearing all about it later xx

    Morning all - have spent ages doing a matched bet that will make me a whole £2.66 profit....oh well, it is all free money!

    Off to walk a friend's dog before my hair appt so now find myself running late....need to breakfast and shower and get a bus an hour and a half earlier than I expected, as she lives a few miles away, but will get a decent amount of walking in which will be good for my exercise goals.

    Not yet done scratches, but they will be there this evening still if I don't get them done before I go.

    Have a good day everyone xx
