    Having a really tight month in order to repay credit card debt of £1K due to washing machine breaking down, cats needing spaying, Dishwasher leaking, so today I have:

    Dyed my own hair, £3.75 Loreal, Cause I'm worth it! (Its a little dark, but I'm told that H & S (the anti dandruff shampoo, if you know what I mean!) strips the colour out of hair, so I'll wash it several times tomorrow to lighten it a wee bit, only I hope Tesco's equivalent does the same, it was much cheaper!

    I got a new contract mobile phone a few months ago, I hated the thing from the minute I got it, a touch screen Nokia thing, it didn't do what I wanted it to do, so when I was in Tesco I spotted a really simple Samsung Flip Phone priced up at £14.97, came home and did comparisons on websites etc, Tesco.com had it for sale for £24.99 and Ebay prices were around £19.99, so I went back to Tesco, bought the phone, it came to £12.48 at the till.:T(pricing error:D). I thought to myself, what can I do with the Nokia, I looked on a few websites if I could sell it, fonebank offered me £60:T, so I have popped that in the post this afternoon.

    And....I got a letter from a friend today and the first class stamp hadn't been franked:T

    All in all, a very good DFW day.
