Eurgh just over 4 hours sleep, need more but I won't sleep tonight then

Not sure if I posted on here or not but at the start of June I was curling my eyelashers and the curlers broke & cut my eyelid, I wrote to Avon and complained about it (included the curlers & photos). Well there was a cheque for £5 in the post this morning - after sending them back and paying £1 to have the photos printed I think that's about 50pence
I do like this quote from the letter
:rotfl:We have also tested other samples of the product and were unable to reproduce the damage suffered by your curlers
I need to get dressed soon and pick up my prescription. Not sure if I'll wash my car or not. It needs doing but I really can't be a*sed.
Going to have another cup of coffee and see if I feel more human after that.LBM 24/05/2012 :TAugust NSD 10/12 * £2 savers0 -
Hi Badger
Hope you had enough coffee to become human
That's not good on the curlers, you would think they would at the very least cover your costs and a refund :mad: guess the moral of that story is to avoid Avon.
Hope you get a better nights sleep

Good morning

That's what I thought Fae I'm tempted to write back and tell them I'm a little insulted?
You're welcome PLMBL I got plenty of sleep thanks, by tomorrow I should be back to "normal" then back on nights Monday so it'll be ruined again:rotfl:
Payday today
have transferred £1000 into Halifax acc & back left it for about an hour so hope it works for the £5?
Also bought a pair of trainers off ebay (which I really didn't need at all
)
Will have a look at what DDs I've got going out and work out how much to stick into savings & what to keep back for spends for me.
Football tonight
getting there early because the players are doing autographs and you can have pics taken with them for £5 boo!!
which I said is really unfair for any parents kids won't just won't one photo and they might have a couple or more kids. We're not even a big/good club!!
Hopefully I can get my own pic (haha I should grow up, 30 next year:rotfl:)

:wave: Badger, your note about having your pic taken with one of them reminds me of a few yrs ago when we took the kids to a camp. For entertainment they had these old fat men dressed as WWF wrestlers......well i'd had a few too many i decided i was going to line up with the kiddies at the end of it (they were all between the ages of 3 and 7/8 ish) and sit on his knee to have my pic taken
:o
Shameful :rotfl:
He was
as well. Old and sweaty
nice.......
(BTW why not treat yourself to the trainers you deserve it:))DEBT FREE AND PROUD

the trainers sound great, and you have to have some nice things now and again, otherwise it would be very hard to keep up the motivation.

Shame about the charges for the photos, I always think it must be hard if you have kids, there are charges for just about everything and it never seems to be cheap.
As for growing up,
