    Hi Littleboots, I love the idea of a 'fabulous fund', might have to steal that idea so that I can budget for beauty treatments / haircuts as they are the first to be cut from my budget and I miss them!

    Also need to go and get a glamour mag, I might get 2 :p as I had a free sample of moisture surge a while back and I love it, it is a brilliant cream, and I also love the all about eyes.

    Not having a very glamorous weekend myself as I have the housework and batch cooking planned!!! But I have joined the gym after my 7 day trial and am booked in for a 'programme' on Sunday which I am looking forward to! Why don't you find out if you can get a 7 day free trial with the gym first to see if you like it and if you will stick at it? With mine I could even try the exercise classes.

    Also, try bartering when you join, for me I should have paid £25 to join, but I argued that one of the other instructors said that I could have the Feb offer which was no joining fee. She said that they don't do no joining fee. I said that I had been told there was an offer on, so she had a look for me and said that I could join on the offer that was for people who visited the wedding fair, which was no joining fee and I get the rest of March free, so start paying in April! :D

    The fab fund just makes budgeting that bit easier :). Well done on your gym bartering, I'll be joining the council gym and get a deal through work which isnt too bad. I'll maybe get another Glamour in a week or two if theres any left, I'll let other people have a chance first!

    Hi Littleboots!
    You have inspired me to get sorted with better budget planning and meal planning!
    :j
    What detox have you been doing? I fancy doing one to kick start my diet/attempts to go the the gym but last time I tried one I was sick on the first day!!

    Have a fab weekend xx

    Hello

    Well last night was fab, delicious home made cocktails and fajitas, my friend also made flapjacks and eton mess for pudding. We watched Take Me Out and were shouting for joy when Lucy finally got a date:j:j. Great to have all the girls round.

    Just been looking at the gym membership tariffs and they appear to have increased significantly since January:mad:. Still determined to join though:A. Not much doing today, tidied the house, went to b&q but managed to avoid all the pretty plants. Back on nightshift tonight :( too tired!

    Ohhh I haven't watched Take Me Out for ages.

    I am so stealing your idea of a fabulous fund! :)
  • mmmmmmmmmmmm could just eat some eaton mess.....sounds like you had a fab night with the girlies.....:beer:

    Sometimes the staying in evenings turn into something better than the ones where you go out and spend a fortune...:rotfl:

    Hope that the night shift passes okay for you and that you manage to get through it and aren't too tired...will catch up with you tomorrow

    I misread pretty plants above as pretty pants! I was thinking, do B&Q really sell pants now?!

    oh deary me! :rotfl:
