wow £89 for hair dresser. You must live somewhere posh. I wasn't paying that much for hair colouring before I left UK 3 years ago! How about risking the local beauty college as a model, and paying a fraction of that?

chevalier I know it is a bit steep but for years I went to a local hairdresers and only paid £15 for a cut (never trusted them to colour it) and I hated it. Then for ages I just never went. Decided one day enough was enough and went to a hairdressers I always past and thought I will give them a try and I love it.
Could be worse a friend of mine pays £115 for hers:eek: and she needs it done every 6 weeks or her roots show through.
Thankfully I eek it out to about 10 or 12 weeks in between colours so it's not £89 all the time. There is a local college that does hairdressing and maybe one day i will go there.
LOL I do live in an area that's classed as posh by some folk, there are plenty of posh folk about but there all fur coats and no knickers:rotfl:Feb 2012 Grocery Challenge £200/£4.00

Decided to do kids bedding tomorrow as no room on the line this afternoon.
I now have a spreedsheet with my kitchen inventory. It took ages but I took the oportunity to give the cupboards abit of a wipe down. I also have a bag full of things that need to go in the bin as they were out of date.
Kids are eating their dinner and I have mine on. I've even made extra so OH can take it to work with him tomorrow - saves having to use the extra electricity tomorrow and will save him time in the morning. See how organised am I getting :rotfl:
Went to the shops so my spends today are
£15 gas - no need for more as the heating is off so it's just for hot water, will see how long this lasts.
£35.35 at Asda but for that I got a new hose for the garden so I can wash the car and teak oil for our wooden furniture in the garden.
After dinner going to do the dishes, quick hoover and dust and then veg out in front of the telly.
Tomorrow not sure how much will get done as were getting the new HP movie and I can't wait :j I am a huge HP fan and we were very lucky last year to actually go to Hogwarts and spend a small fortune on wands.Feb 2012 Grocery Challenge £200/£4.00
