Great news on getting rid on the T card.:)
I have to say colouring my own hair and not visiting the hairdressers is one of the things I do miss on this debt busting journey. I think it's that hour of peace and quiet (excluding the hairdyers!!) and a bit of pampering........mind you my colour seems just as good for fraction of the price doing it at home. Wouldn't dare attempt to cut it at home thought.:eek:

My hairdresser just smiles when I do eventually call her round now lol. I cut my own hair, dye it and put a fringe and some layers in
