  • so many peeps I want to reply to so here goes! Redsam really plsd you've found a solution to the hair problem. I totally agree that having your hair as you don't like it is a misery for disaster (soz lost the ability to spell :o) yay to curly hair (which mine is) but I know the horrors that is can bring with hair styles (apparently hair dressers only get taught how to dress straight hair :mad:)

    Olive {{{hus}}} cyber stress is a nightmare!

    La E - exciting re the wedding planning. Full of admiration for you, planning a wedding seems like far too much hassle (although not that Mr DNM has asked...) Oh incidnetally I checked out ur 101 list. Very cool, have been inspired to start my own!

    nickynoo 12 weeks of all diy jobs being done, fair share in the household chores & attention on tap sounds fab to me ;)

    sara my oh rides a bike and I HATE it, am always worrying about him! Its been in the garage since december as it needs some work but I am (not so) secretly happy as I do worry that I'd loose the love of my life if something happened. Spend the money! x

    Had a lovely day with my dd :j was a while there when things looked like they were taking a turn for the worse but luckily it returned from the brink. Am exhausted now but its soooooo worth it my soul feels nutured :j:j

    Off to spend time with oh as he is feeling neglected :o

  • Hi everyone,

    It's been a very long day. So busy at work, ended up working late so I couldn't go swimming :(. So should have been an NSD but I bought DH a few beers as he'd had a long day with DS.

    I've now checked my bank again and they've stopped a dd from coming off!!! So annoyed. I put extra money in yesterday to cover it but they've checked in the morning, have stopped the payment and are going to charge me for going over my overdraft :mad: ... which I didn't as they stopped the payment!!!
    • [STRIKE]check on-line banking[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]check surveys[/STRIKE] none
    • [STRIKE]lunch to work (HM rolls and left over trout, yum!)[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]some tidying tonight[/STRIKE] nope, that's 2 days in a row, might have to stop putting this on my list :o
    • [STRIKE]pasta for tea per meal planner (might make some HM garlic bread)[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]do budget for next 4 weeks, pay day tomorrow :D[/STRIKE] done, I am so determined to be within budget this time... have to be!!!
    Going to try and chill now and get spreadsheets (from work) and overdrafts out of my head. Enjoy the rest of your night everyone :) x
