    Hi Hypno and friends

    Please don't beat yourself up over the spends. It's not like you were being reckless and spending with gay abandon. You know that you have a bonus coming so have something in the pot to allow a small sum on yourself. (I think that IS allowed). The PC and laptop are necessities which you thought through and justified at the time for use to gain extra work. All fine :A

    Pah to middle of the night wakenings when everything is magnified by 1 million. Hope things feel calmer and more rational this evening :) x

    Mrs R, I have sent you a PM.

    Download work done for tonight - very productive, so am pleased with that.

    Haven't had anything to eat, though, so am going to make some porridge....that'll do for now!

    My family paid for me to have my hair cut by a very 'chic and trendy' hairdresser for my birthday, and the appt is tomorrow. I hope I am as happy as you appear to be with your adventure. Already I am panicing as what to wear to this very cosmopolitan joint, as want to create the right impression to get a cut that suit me, IYKWIM. Now I am sure there are not many who 'worry' about what to wear to hairdressers. :)

    Glad you like your hair Hypno. Did the experience of the salon live up to your expectations? Do you think you will continue to use the same hairdresser?

    RMC - I too gave great consideration to what I wore to the salon. In the end I just went in jeans and a pretty top.

    KM, I will certainly use the same place again and have booked in for 6 weeks time.....

    Souk - Peter and Paul have been friends of mine for a very long time too :o

    Right.....off to bank and scratch - have a good day everyone xx

    Strange, SF! Maybe try again later :)

    10ps only on scratches, and £5 M/B profit received in the bank which has been swept over to the appropriate pot. Other than that, nothing to report.
