    Not much to report - worked Sat and Sun, picking up job 2 wages tonight. Got good tips this week but had hair done (necessity, hadn't had my roots done for 10 weeks) and cheap as chips - for me to have 1/2 head foils, all over (only roots but same price for all over) cut and blowdry and DH to have cut was £40! My tips more than covered it so no guilt felt at all.

    Can't wait for payday to see what damage was done to the reserve but also how much money we have left to not draw out thereby paying it off the reserve. (I know what I mean)

    Glad you got your hair done without feeling guilty - treats have got to be had at some point x

    £40 is a great price Kat :) I am very lucky my best friend is a hair dresser so no cost for me!

    you're very lucky Woo!
    thankfully my mum is buying me some vouchers for my birthday so i can have my hair done again. I'd rather this than anything else i have to admit.

    My SIL does my colouring which is why it's only £15 - has to charge as not made of money and is qualified to colour etc. It's one of her (and now my) friends who cuts - he charges £18 for me but I give him £20 and £5 for DH. He is fantastic, I have never had such a good hairdresser and that is well cheap for around here. In a salon you're talking £40 cut and blow dry at least!

    Wow, nice and organised with a list! :D

    I should maybe do one too or else I can see me not achieving much with the bank holidays.

    Although must schedule in some time to do nothing with OH as well after not seeing him for 2 months!
