How is the road to redness? Are you there yet?

I'm definitely there! I went for a quite muted red last time, and it worked quite well. There was still a bit of black in the ends of my hair so it went from red to dark as you looked at the top of my hair to the bottom (if that makes sense!) but looked as though it was on purpose which was a plus.

Today it's definitely much redder as I used a brighter shade this time. I love it! I had red hair from 13 until about 26 and I really missed it. I feel much more like myself

I had red hair for years but it turned lots of things red; pillow cases, towels, the neck of many tops ....

I turn towels red a lot, but have a set towel which is used & abused in the dying process. I have never had that problem with anything else thankfully!

Money Post

All of my debit card transactions are now off, so I thought it was confession time

PAD/Spends = £83
Entertainment = £22.05
Groceries = £130.13

I also have £20 in my purse. There are 26 days until payday :eek: On the bright side....rent money is due at the start of the month, which is £300 towards my debts (Woo!) unless I decide to keep some money back for the Edinburgh Fringe. I am also due money from Quidco, so that's something.

Must not spend.

Must not spend.

Must not spend.

Morning all!

Another £120 off my debt today as the loan payment I make every month has hit the account. I did buy all my Fringe tickets yesterday though so I'm only about £50 down in terms of total debt Still, I'm going to see:

Richard Herring
Russell Kane
Henry Rollins
Danny Bhoy
Reginald D Hunter
Jack Whitehall

The most expensive tickets were £10 each, and some were only £5 We're also going to make use of the half price ticket tent to see some good shows cheaply. I'm going to make sure that I top up my Entertainment budget in August, woo Fringe!!

Just over a month until it all starts again :j I wasn't going to go to anything because I am a Frugal Fresian and I need to focus on my goal of clearing everything by December. I can't resist the lure of the Fringe though Myself and my best friend have found loads of interesting things which are on as part of the Free Fringe, so we're going to see budget things too. Some people were just asking too much money - I really really wanted to see Chris Addison, but he was £17.50 per ticket for a one hour show. Methinks not.

In additional spending news, I have a couple of days off this week, giving me a lovely four day weekend - wahoo! We're off up North to visit some friends, so I suspect there won't be change of £100 from that. Mr Fresian had said "there's budgeting and there's being too careful" which I do appreciate but he's not the one doing the bl00dy budgeting. I know how long it takes me to "find" £100...that's why it's hard to get money out of me I'm looking forward to getting away though, and know that I can take the money we spend from this months rent money so I'm not getting in additional debt.

Only real spend today has been the dentist (Boo!) who fixed my broken tooth with an additional filling. I'm glad that I didn't have to get a crown or get the thing pulled, and it was only £13 that I had to pay. It's all reclaimable anyway as I have dental insurance, so I'll nip into the dentist on Thursday before we go away and get the claim stamped.

Nothing else to report, hope all is well with everyone!

Todays spending highlights include M&S lunch (Bad Fresian!) and £12.12 in Morrisons.

I did get the following though (Reduced prices shown)

Garlic dough balls [STRIKE]£1.20[/STRIKE] 12p
Pizza [STRIKE]£3.19 [/STRIKE]£1.59
Pizza[STRIKE]£3.19 [/STRIKE]£1.19
Bread[STRIKE]79p[/STRIKE] 25p
Eggs [STRIKE]£1.95[/STRIKE]12p

Total cost of those items alone should have been £10.32 but I only spent £3.27 We had one pizza for dinner tonight and will probably have the other one when we come back on Sunday.

I also got crisps and drinks for our drive to the North tomorrow, saving stupid garage prices. (3 crisps for £1 and 2 bottles of Oasis for £1.70)

I got an email from Quidco today confirming that my cashback has been paid - but without the amount :rotfl: I think it should be over £100 this month which will pay for our adventure to the Highlands. I might not be online much this weekend but will fully catch up on Sunday. Hope everyone else is ok.
