Doing it for my 4.5 little kiddies 2011 diary

Think I might have taken the money saving a bit far lol. I decided last night I was fed up with my hair (it hadnt been cut for a verrrrrryyyyy long time) so I cut it myself :eek: It actually looks ok. Got rid of all the split ends and shaped it round the front and put layers in!! Im sure to the trained eye it looks rubbish - but to me it looks loads nicer
DH has cleaned the car and got it looking all sparkly so we can take it down the carplace and see what they will give for it - have seen a car we like (well a few but one is cheapest) So going to go and see how low we can get the man to go on it.....wish us luck for a good deal.............
Today should be a nsd again as we dont need anything.GC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr. No6 Due Mar 2013 My world.:j0 -
Afternoon mummy, sorry ive not popped in for a while!
Well done on cutting your own hair :T! How on earth did you manage the back on your own. My god I darent even touch my fringe haha!!! And putting layers in too, are you sure your a secret hairdresser?!
Well done on the NSD x x xMummytogirls x0 -
Hiya mummy - I dont know how I managed it without looking like a right m*ppet lol. DH says it looks nice
Only thing is now he will say I never need to get it done by the hairdressers :cool:
Well still no carThe place yesterday wont give us as much as the place the otherday
but they have the cheaper car - so we cant afford what they are saying..... Typically they had it really high to start with and making out they were doing us such a good deal and really going out of there way to help = They really wasnt!! And I knew they wasnt because I had a idea of what it would cost etc before going and checked when i got home and they were trying it on - Big time
Anyway the man said about early terminating our finance - Ive been looking it up and its all legal but it just doesnt seem right....think we would have to pay the extra for insurance we took out aswell so wouldnt work to well anyway.
Im so tired at the mo as im not sleeping well - always thinking about a car and figuresI really want to cut down on the amount we spend each mth but also getting a car that i can rely on. At the moe im worried about going anywhere with the kids in it incase it wont start again :mad: Ohwell im sure something will come up.....one day.
:(:(:(:(
