            yes just the living room. We have electric heaters in the bedroom which are on a timer, and don't heat the rest. (not that there's much of a 'rest' of the house)0

 Not much happening at this end, am having my hair lopped off again tonight with some christmas vouchers, and narrowly escaped a lorry this morning. What is it with muppets on the road????

            Just popping in to say hi. You've reminded me that I really MUST get my hair cut - i loathe going to the hairdressers and thankfully as it's long I can get away with not going as often as I ought to. I'm going to have to come up with an alternative to Toni & Guy this time as well as there's no WAY I can justify the price. 🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡 🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

            I found a lovely hairdresser in our local leisure center, and she's got a good pedigree so to speak. I made and effort to find one before i got married so that i could get my hair done on the day and i was really pleased with her. I've just realised that it must be 6 months since i last had it cut no wonder it's started to look much longer again.
 my parents have bought me vouchers for christmas so that's what i'll be spending. I'm trying to wean myself off getting my hair coloured there as it makes it more expensive (though still relatively cheap compaired to many places)0

            Eeek to the road - thank goodnes you're ok
 Hair - hmm - today I thought OK need to do mine (didn't get out over weekend) used an old (not quite the right colour) from the cupboard - OMG I'm now a brunette instead of my normal shoddy colour - hopefully it will fade soon its far too dark for my pale face.
 Keep warm!

            i haven't coloured my hair for at least 6 mths, it's faded now so i'm hoping the greys aren't too noticable I hope it's working. I hate colouring my hair so leave it too long each time.0
