Strange - I always imagined you had blonde hair for some reason

I too agree it makes a hell of a difference to how you feel about everything else if your hair looks good. Don't feel guilty about spending the money - you are probably cutting back in other areas and it's not as if you aren't doing anything to earn extra money on the side as well.

Never been blonde but that did make me It's interesting the images we have of one another.

As for cutting back in other areas, I don't think it's possible to cut back any further, I really do have the best providors for all household utilities, keep the heating off as much as I can, etc but it's still difficult to keep everything paid in full all the time.

Like this week I'm not buying any petrol because of overspending at the hairdresser so next week I'll need €40-50 worth of petrol. No doubt I'll be going without somewhere else to fill up the petrol.

I really need to concentrate on making extra money in March.

I've been screened out of too many surveys today so I'm turning the computer off now. Going to do the hoovering and clean the kitchen before driving to my mothers. Won't be spending much. Catching up on the election results should keep me busy for the evening.

Have a good (and cheap as possible;)) weekend people.

Talk soon x

The election results are in and Ireland has a new Leader, his name's Enda Kenny. He's already well known in Ireland and I'm sure everyone else will get to know him over time as he attends meetings and functions abroad. He's likeable and popular but the Irish economy is in such a mess it'll be difficult for anyone to fix it so who knows. But the change will definitely inject some energy and enthusiasm into the country and that can only be good.

The sun is shining here today, I'm sitting out on my mothers patio catching up on MSE on my phone:)

I've just had my monthly £5 Amazon voucher from http://www.world-mail-panel.com/ and I thought I'd post here to recommend that people sign up for it, although I have no idea if they are recruiting or not.

It's so easy, they might send 5-6 letters a month. The letters are in plain white envelopes, no signatures required and they fit through the letterbox so you don't have to be home to get them. The letter has a code that you have to input to the website with the date it arrives and then you bin the letters. No hassel at all and on the 1st of every month you get a £5 Amazon voucher which they always send without having to chase it up.

No They are very trustworthy, they are just measuring how long it takes for the post to arrive. Hope you guys get accepted too.

I have £40 in my Amazon account which is more than I have in my bank account:rotfl: £30 of it came from toluna and £10 from the mail panel. There hasn't been anything I've felt the need to buy recently but it's so good to have it --more free stuff at a later date!
