    Just had an email from phone company to say new phone will be delivered tomorrow so have had a look at getting some cash for the old phone and its worth an average of £39:j.
    Thats virtually my half of the council tax for this month. Everything helps out a bit to stop me dipping into my ever dwindling savings until I get paid.

    Have sent off for the envelope thingy to send it off.

    unfortunately if my rampent feminist outlook didn't prevent me from being a page-3-er, then it would be the fact I don't have the credentials! :rotfl:

    Uh man, don't really know what to suggest, Redsam...Would you try a dark dye just to cover it up or would that just make the problem worse?? I know Lush do natural hair dyes (maybe not as bad for your hair? I don't know) but pretty sure they do a dark auburn one...

    Sometimes washing your har with washing up liquid helps- I had pink put in my bleach blonde hair at college and when it went wonky I faded it using about a million washes with fairy liquid! Hope that helps :)
