That prices includes 25% off for their January sale :eek:
I normally get my hair done using vouchers from Groupon etc, but that's how I found this salon and they were really friendly, made a good cuppa and didn't butcher my barnet, so I'll be saving up and going there when I can!

Nothing worse than not being happy with your hair so you are quite right.
Mine is too long at the mo & one side keeps kinking out.

PAYDAY!!
More on that shortly. First, yesterday's spending:
£5.48 craft stuff (won a £15 voucher but couldn't keep my spending to only £15Still a bargain though!)
£10.57 in Sainsbury's. I only went in for bananas and Ryvita, but got there as they were doing the final reductions and got £19.85 worth of meat for £6.78There's now two sirloin steaks (HUGE!), two gourmet burgers and a massive chicken with sage and onion stuffing in the freezer. The chicken would have been cheaper had I waited for the final reduction, but Mr Mooo was getting cranky
'Twas only £2.50 though.
Current finances are:
Purse - £13
Spends/food account - £170.77
Bills - £349.81
There are three more paydays in the month, so I'll be adding £136 x 3 to the bills account, bringing it to £757.81. The remaining bills to debit this month total around £460 thanks to it being a council tax free month. I don't know if those sums are entirely accurate, but those are the ones I'm working to for now, so it looks like I'll have a healthy surplus soon. March will be even better as not only is there no council tax to worry about, but there's five weeks in the month. As I've budgeted for a four week month I get a whole pay packet to myself
There might be a couple of tight weeks in the coming month as I'm off work on holiday for two days next week (LONDON!!) and the following week (Family Mooo are coming to visit) and I don't think I'll have earned enough hours to get paid for all of them, but the spends/food account is looking healthy enough for now that I don't think it's going to be too bad. Hopefully!
Hope you are all thanking Crunchie it's Friday just as much as I am0 -
Spending yesterday:
£7.20 crafty payday treat
£1.05 tea
£1.85 bottle of water and two bags of Maltesers to smuggle in to the cinema
£7.40 in Sainsbury's which bought reduced treats (Danishes for Mr Mooo and WeightWatchers cakes for me!), stewing steak (reduced), milk, reduced fruit and a loaf of bread. The bread was £1.35 and was the only thing not sodding reduced :rotfl:
Money remaining:
Food/Spends - £91.17
Bills - £347.31
Purse - £85.06
Lots of money is sitting in my purse to pay for a haircut today, lunch out and possibly a new jumper!
Estimate also received yesterday for roof maintenance (BAH!) but Mr Moo can't remember if it's per flat, in which case :eek: :eek:, or for all four of us to split, in which casebut could be worse. Must speak to the Organised Neighbour and see what's going on!

I'm contemplating a fairly big change - it's currently shoulder length but I'm thinking about lopping a good chunk of it off and adding a fringe. I think I'll decide when I'm in the chair0 -
Happy new hair
