    Had a pesonal training session tonight (came as part of my gym membership) and I really enjoyed it - though I fear I may suffer for it tomorrow :o

    Have two days off now so looking forward to some me time. Have booked a haircut for tomorrow - and it's payday too :j

    Having decided not to look at moving I want to love my home so am feeling the need for some (frugal) house projects - just not sure what yet! May use some of my time off to do some research - and a bit of spring cleaning :eek:

    It's payday :j Have made my final payment to Wescot this morning so that's another debt gone. Even though I'm paying the smallest off first I like to see a debt cleared (and mark it as zero on my spreadsheet :o). Have paid 'myself' back into my holiday fund too so April looks like a verrrrrrrrry tight month already!

    Have a massive to do list :( and my haircut this afternoon. Am going to try to get all my list done today to give me a truly 'me day' tomorrow :D Will update later

    I've had a lovely day off and got most of my list done too! Had a bit of a tidy up this morning and did some washing then headed off to the local town

    Not a nice family photo printed and found a lovely frame to put it in for my Mum for Mother's Day. Got a card too and a couple of birthday cards. Treated myself to an eyebrow wax and tint, and a watch (have a thing about watches at the moment) but I had Nectar points so no spend! Then went for a sunbed

    Been to have my haircut this afternoon. I'm really pleased with it - hope I can get it to look the same when I do it ;) Thinking that giving up hair cuts (I have been having the ends trimmed at a £6 walk in place for the last 2 years) may have been a frugal step too far - realised what I have been missing! Think I need to re-look at my budget to include decent haircuts and the eyebrows (another thing I gave up) - really starting to miss feel glam! :(

    Tonight I plan to give myself a pedicure, fake tan and facepack then I will feel truly pampered :) And my Galmour has arrived in the post :D

    Totall agree, how about alternating the expensive cuts with the £6 ones every second time? That's what I plan on doing :)

    Glad you've had a lovely day, you deserve a treat after clearing a debt :)

    Think that's a great idea of Mags to alternate the haircuts. Happy pampering
